Choosing The Right Destination
Many couples dream of a destination wedding. The romance of a beach, an exotic location or an enchanting city is definitely enticing! There are certainly a huge variety of destinations to choose from, so how do you know what is best? That's where our expertise comes into play.
Over the years, we have learned that the easiest and most cost-effective destination weddings are those that travel to Mexico and the Caribbean to an all-inclusive resort. The all-inclusive resort experience allows your wedding guests to pay for a complete travel package up front, including flights, rooms, airport transfers, meals, drinks, and taxes. Guests appreciate being able to budget for this, and not worry about extra expenses (like car rentals, Uber, meals, tips, etc) while traveling. The all-inclusive atmosphere allows the wedding couple to host welcome parties, cocktail hours and reception dinners at a fraction of the cost. And because planning is so easy (one wedding coordinator does it all!), couples are able to relax and truly enjoy spending time with their loved ones. Sounds great, right? The only caveat to all of this is that the all-inclusive resorts are only located outside of the United States. Check out this example:

FOR GUESTS (3 night stay):
Flight, $400 Hotel, $550 $950 total $150 for a passport, but most people already have one. The all-inclusive experience allows guests to budget $950 for this trip since they know ahead of time exactly how much everything is going to cost. Meals and drinks are unlimited, so guests can enjoy trying new and local dishes that they normally wouldn't want to spend money on. Two desserts? No problem! This is what makes the all-inclusive experience such a great value. |
FOR GUESTS (3 night stay):
Flight, $400 Hotel, $300 Car Rental, $150 Meals & Drinks, $200 $1050 total Guests can estimate how much they will spend on meals, drinks, gas, tips, etc, and they will have to be careful about how and what they order. Want lobster? It will cost extra. How about dessert? Cha ching. Everything little item adds up, which is no fun. Guests don't want to feel nickel-and-dimed while on vacation. Be kind, and give them the all-inclusive experience! |
