In nearly all of our initial calls with couples thinking about planning a destination wedding, the number one question we hear is about the average cost of a destination wedding. Is it a more affordable option than having your wedding in your home town? What are the benefits financially? Unfortunately, it&#8217;s a complex answer as it depends on many factors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In this article, we explore the price of destination weddings in depth by discussing the factors involved and some tips to save money for you and your guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ultimately, the answer of how much a wedding costs will differ for every couple, but you can at least build an approximate wedding budget before deciding.

essential elements as a wedding in your hometown. You&#8217;ll still want your dress or suit,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/blog\/destination-wedding-invitation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">invitations<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, wedding rings, flowers, a photographer, a reception with delicious food and drink, cake, music, and an officiant for the ceremony.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Most of these elements are often made easier to choose for you by resorts offering you wedding packages to choose from. They are usually flexible and give you lots of options. You will also find that resorts provide incentives to help reduce the cost of your destination wedding event. (More on this later)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Factors such as travel, accommodations, group activities, and a destination wedding planner are the elements that will be additional costs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">However, a destination wedding is more than just a wedding. It is a vacation for you and all your guests &#8211; usually 4 or 5 nights long in the beautiful sunshine. Therefore some couples view the travel and hotel costs as expenses from a &#8216;vacation budget&#8217; rather than the wedding budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_what_is_the_average_cost_of_a_destination_wedding_in_2023\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">So what<\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0the average cost of a destination wedding in 2023?\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">According to Google, the average cost of a destination wedding in 2023 is $30,000.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This average of $30,000 includes the typical airfare, accommodation, and other expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Destination weddings in Hawaii, Europe, or other exotic locales likely drive up this average. Weddings in Mexico or the Caribbean &#8211; locations most of our clients choose &#8211; are more likely about $15,000 to $20,000, excluding travel.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can hear directly from brides like\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MCuhEqwdK10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Sherese<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">,\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8tSsQpPzyd8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Paige<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, and\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5TeJ19YD-_c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Julia<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0about how they planned their destination wedding and the factors they considered for their budget.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The most significant factor in this is how many guests you have at your wedding and how luxurious a resort you choose. Smaller weddings will naturally come in a little lower.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_pays_for_what_with_a_destination_wedding\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Who pays for what with a destination wedding?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Typically you, the couple, will pay for the wedding day event, including a cocktail reception, a reception, and a sit-down meal with drinks and entertainment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your guests will usually pay for their flights and accommodation at the resort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Many couples pay for other elements as part of the destination wedding, for example, a welcome party, a group excursion, and a farewell brunch. You don&#8217;t have to do this, but it is a nice touch, especially when your guests travel a great distance to attend your wedding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_do_we_start_with_our_wedding_budget\"><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Where do we start with our wedding budget?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-27892\" src=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"Karisma Resorts | Destination wedding | Island wedding\" width=\"550\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1-1.jpg 550w, https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/1-1-300x157.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>It can be overwhelming when thinking about creating your budget for your destination wedding &#8211; we get it.

Some resorts also offer a planning sheet or calculator that can be a helpful starting place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">First, open up a spreadsheet and list all possible categories you may want to consider.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As a quick guide, we&#8217;d suggest starting with the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wedding dress and any other outfits you and your partner may want<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/blog\/destination-wedding-invitation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Save the dates and invitations<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Venue<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Reception\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ceremony<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Officiant<\/span><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/blog\/hiring-destination-wedding-photographer\/\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Photographer<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Decor<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Flowers<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Food<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Drink<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Music<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Flights<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hotel<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Entertainment<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You&#8217;ll find a range of options within each of these categories.

Some resorts are perfect for smaller groups or have limits on how many guests they allow at weddings, so you must be strict with your guest list.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Alternatively, some resorts offer more significant incentives for the more people that attend, so your overall cost per head may decrease as you invite more people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>If you&#8217;re planning a large destination wedding (100+ guests), check out <a href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/blog\/best-destination-wedding-resorts-100-guests\/\">our list of top resorts<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Some of your favorite people may not be able to attend a wedding abroad, so it will be a different list than a wedding closer to home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For more details on how many guests we advise you to have and why it&#8217;s so important to figure it out early, we delve more into that in our article\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/blog\/guest-list-destination-wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Consider the date of your wedding<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You can save money by booking your wedding date slightly out of the peak season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Generally speaking, there&#8217;s an inverse relationship between the weather in the northeastern United States and the prices in Mexico and the Caribbean. So in January and February, when it&#8217;s cold in New York, it&#8217;s more expensive in our top destination wedding venues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Shoulder seasons like April and May and October and November will have lower prices for flights and hotels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">You&#8217;ll also want to avoid public holidays and kids&#8217; school breaks, where prices generally spike. Having an extended Memorial Day in Mexico may sound fun for everyone, but the resort and flight prices will be higher, and resorts will have blackout dates for promotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Invites for your destination wedding<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Instead of spending money on printing out invites and then paying for postage, you could use a wedding website and digital\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/dev7.webdevonline.net\/destinationwedding\/blog\/destination-wedding-invitation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">invitation<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, which may be completely free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Little things that bring down the average cost of a destination wedding all add up!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Our team provides a booking site for your guests, but this is another excellent way to host all the information guests need for your wedding in one place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Not only does this cost little or even nothing, but it&#8217;s also better for the environment, and it tracks all your RSVPs digitally, saving you time!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you decide to go this route, we recommend you create your website as soon as your venue and room block contracts are confirmed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hair and Makeup<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your bridal hair and makeup are essential to feeling your best on your wedding day. But you don&#8217;t need to hire someone for the task \u2013 you can teach yourself!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With the help of your maid of honor and bridesmaids, you will surely be able to find someone confident with hair styling and makeup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Watch video tutorials together, and once you know the look you want \u2013 practice, practice!

Also, remember that your hair may do different things in the humidity of a warmer climate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you want something other than the DIY route, the resort will have trained staff to assist with your hair and has worked with a diverse mix of brides, so they&#8217;re well-equipped to handle your hair and makeup needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take advantage of the resort&#8217;s perks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Your dedicated travel planner will be able to get rates and perks that are better than those the resort will give you directly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">We can discuss the incentives and offers for your specific resort.
