Congratulations on your engagement!

GREAT reasons to consider a Destination Wedding:

• They are typically a fraction of the cost of traditional at-home weddings.  The average cost for a wedding and reception in Mexico, Hawaii or The Caribbean is between $2,000 – $8,000 vs. the five-figure events at home.  This, of course, depends on the number of guests attending.  Destination Weddings are usually attended by 20-50 guests on average.

• Why not spend the entire weekend or even longer celebrating with your guests in a tropical or exotic location?  Your guests will be thanking you for giving them an “excuse for a vacation”.

• There is less planning involved with destination weddings.  If you’re lucky enough to do a “pre-wedding trip” or have selected a destination and resort you’ve already visited – this will give you a head start on picking the location and/or meeting with the coordinator ahead of time; if not – don’t fret!  Many of the details are planned out via phone and/or email with the on-site coordinator.  Most couples arrive at the destination 3-4 days before (required in some countries).  You’ll be able to put the finishing touches on your special day and still have time to lay by the pool or go snorkeling before your guests arrive!

• Destination Weddings don’t have to be on the weekend.  You’re in Paradise where day and time is unimportant - any day will work. Some resorts and wedding sites offer discounts for weekday weddings.  Friday and Saturday are still the most popular days for destination weddings, especially when guests are limited to a long weekend.  Mondays, Tuesdays or Thursday weddings can also work well when guests are traveling for a three to four-night stay.

• What could be more romantic than saying ”I Do” on the beach, in a tropical garden, on a cliff overlooking the ocean, or in an open air chapel?
