We know wedding planning can sometimes feel like navigating a maze, especially when it comes to destination weddings. But don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through one of the trickiest paths of all: wedding packages!

Why Not Choose a Resort Based on the Wedding Package?

You might be thinking, “Shouldn’t we just pick the resort with the best wedding package?” Here’s the truth: every resort has one! They’re like seashells on the beach, they're everywhere you look. And honestly, they’re all pretty similar. Trying to compare them line by line will only make you dizzy.

The Price is Right… Or Is It?

Some resorts try to dazzle you with “exclusive” or “luxury” packages, complete with shiny brochures and fancy names. But once you peel back the ribbon and price out the flowers, décor, and extras, the overall cost ends up being about the same across the board.

Your Package = Your Canvas

Think of your wedding package as a blank canvas. It’s just a starting point. From there, you can add your own colors, textures, and brushstrokes to make it your own. Want a few extra flower arrangements? Go for it. Dreaming of fireworks in the sky? Why not! Your package is meant to reflect your love story, not limit it.

The Illusion of Exclusivity

Here’s another little secret: most resorts use the same vendors. That centerpiece you loved at Resort A? You’ll likely find it at Resort B too. Which means you don’t have to choose a resort based solely on décor or package themes! You can bring your vision to life almost anywhere.

Start with Free, Then Build

Who doesn’t love free? If a resort offers a complimentary wedding package, take it. That’s your golden ticket. You’ll get all the basics covered, then you can layer on the details that truly matter to you. This way, you’re customizing your day rather than trying to fit into a pre-designed box.

Look Beyond the Package

Packages are nice, but they’re just the icing. What really matters is the cake itself, the resort! Choose a property that makes your heart skip a beat with its style, atmosphere, and quality. Pick a place where your guests will love hanging out and making memories with you.
