Planning a destination wedding is a dream for many couples, but it can also come with misconceptions that may cause unnecessary stress. Let’s debunk some common myths and set the record straight!
While it’s easy to assume a wedding in a beautiful location will break the bank, destination weddings are often more cost-effective than traditional weddings. Many resorts in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica offer all-inclusive packages that cover the venue, catering, open bar and certain décor, and other inclusions—often for a fraction of the cost of a local event. Plus, many packages include perks like cash back rebates, discounted events, room upgrades, and other perks, which can make the experience even more special without additional costs.
A destination wedding can also be a way to combine the wedding and honeymoon, saving on travel expenses. Many couples find that the all-inclusive nature of destination weddings reduces stress and budgeting headaches. And for guests, bundling a discounted vacation with your wedding can make it more enticing!

While some guests may be unable to attend, destination weddings often attract close friends and family who are excited about a vacation and celebration all in one! Plus, your guest list is naturally filtered to those who truly want to be there. This makes your event more intimate and meaningful.
The key to ensuring good attendance is to send save-the-dates and invites well in advance—ideally 12-18 months before the wedding. This gives guests plenty of time to plan and save. Offering group rates for accommodations and travel arrangements can also encourage more guests to attend.
