What’s Included in Your Destination Wedding Package?

​Planning a destination wedding can feel like a dream come true, but it can also come with a lot of questions, especially about what's included in the wedding package. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the variety of packages available, you're not alone. Let's break it down to make it easier for you.

​Understanding Wedding Packages

Here's the good news... All resorts offer wedding packages, and while they might seem overwhelmingly different at first glance, the truth is, they are all basically the same.

You heard that right! What you find in one package, you can likely get at another resort with a few minor differences. This means you don’t need to stress too much about the package specifics.

Here's more good news... The final cost of these packages tends to be similar across resorts, which helps in budget planning and choosing the resort.

​Key Inclusions

Typically, wedding packages at all-inclusive resorts include:

• Ceremony Setup: This includes the location setup, whether it's on a beach, in a garden, or in a chapel. Basic tables, chairs, and an altar or gazebo are usually part of this.
• Officiant Services: Most packages include a symbolic officiant to conduct the ceremony.
• Bouquet and Boutonniere: Flowers for the bride and groom are standard.
• Wedding Cake: A wedding cake for the couple and their guests.
• Reception: Some form of a dinner reservation for smaller groups. Plated or buffet dinner for larger groups, based on group amenities and number of rooms booked. 

Common Package Pricing

Most resorts have a basic package that is complimentary, or free. It will usually include the basics needed to host a wedding for up to 20 people or so. Details vary by resort, of course.  Most resorts allow you to build upon the package you choose, which lets you customize the look and feel of your wedding.   The common upgraded packages are $2000, $4500 and $8000. Once you find a resort that you love, you can choose the package that best serves your needs.

Comparing Resorts

Instead of choosing a resort by detailing the differences between wedding packages, it is better to look at what really makes a big difference.  Not all resorts are created equal, especially when it comes to group amenities. Some resorts go the extra mile and reward couples with great bonuses for larger wedding groups, like free room upgrades, complimentary nights or rooms, or free wedding events. Others resorts take the opposite approach and charge couples additional fees if your guest list exceeds a certain number. This is where careful comparison becomes crucial, and that's where we at Romance Travel Group step in.
