News with Maya - How Much Does an All-Inclusive Destination Wedding Cost?

About this video

All-inclusive destination wedding cost is one of the first questions engaged couples ask, and for good reason. In this video, we break down what couples really spend on an all-inclusive destination wedding and how to build a realistic budget with confidence.

For a destination wedding with around 50 guests, couples typically see total costs starting near $15,000. This usually includes the ceremony, cocktail hour, and a private dinner reception, all coordinated by the resort’s on-site wedding team. One of the biggest advantages of all-inclusive wedding packages is customization. Couples have control over where they spend and where they save.

Décor and florals are often the largest expense, but couples who embrace the resort’s natural setting—beaches, palm trees, gazebos, and ocean views—can create a stunning atmosphere without heavy décor costs. Guest count also plays a major role. Most packages include a set number of guests, with additional attendees commonly priced around $150 per person, covering seating, meals, appetizers, and open bar service.

Private receptions are not part of standard resort inclusions, which means you’re paying for exclusivity, dedicated staff, customized menus, and décor tailored to your vision.

Understanding destination wedding costs helps couples plan intentionally, avoid surprises, and prioritize what truly matters. Smart choices can keep budgets manageable without sacrificing style or experience.

At Romance Travel Group, destination weddings are all we do. We help couples evaluate packages, compare per-person pricing, and maximize room-block perks—often resulting in rebates that help offset wedding expenses.
