Saying ‘I do’ under the palm trees, surrounded by your closest friends and family, is such a special way to start your married life.
And don’t worry – destination weddings do not have to break the bank.
As a team of destination wedding travel planners, we partner with beautiful resorts across Mexico and the Caribbean that offer all-inclusive wedding packages under $10,000 for you to work with.
These wedding packages are usually fully customizable, so you can tailor each element to create your perfect wedding in the sunshine.
In this article, we’ll explore the best all-inclusive packages under $10,000.
You can also read our breakdown of the best packages under $15,000 here.
Working on the budget for your wedding is very important.
You want to be realistic, set a reasonable budget for yourself, and then try to stick to it!
The first question you must answer is how many guests you will have.
Knowing your guest count is the best starting place to help determine the budget.
As a loose guide, a destination wedding with under 30 guests will cost you $10,000 or under.
And for destination weddings with over 30 guests, you may look at something more like $15,000. However, some great options exist in Mexico, so we’re exploring all-inclusive wedding packages under $10,000 here.
It depends on the wedding venue you choose and their wedding packages, as the savings can add up.
For example, we recently had a couple with 186 guests, and the wedding only cost them $3,900.
If you’re planning a large wedding with 100+ guests, you definitely want to check out the list of our favorite resorts.
A destination wedding can be more affordable than a wedding close to home.
Your final cost will depend on many elements such as decor, food, venues, and how many guests you’ll have.
Most resorts we work with offer wedding packages that include many of these primary elements you’ll want, which helps bring your overall cost down.
And what’s more, you are also getting an in-built honeymoon, a once-in-a-lifetime vacation with your favorite people, and your dream wedding!
So let’s break down our ten favorite all-inclusive wedding packages under $10,000 in Mexico.
Read carefully, as each resort package includes different elements. Some elements are subject to availability, and terms do apply.
We can help you navigate the finer details as we navigate the planning process.
