DESTINATION WEDDINGS

4 Reasons you should have a destination wedding:

You can save money and have choices.

Traditional weddings are now averaging about $29,000. Yikes! This is just for the wedding not including the cost of the honeymoon. Many couples just aren’t interested in spending this much money, but they also don’t want to sacrifice the quality of their special day. Enter the destination wedding. You can save a good amount of money by planning a destination wedding, and you will have many different package options and sizes to choose from.

You will be in control.

A common complaint among couples is the fact that everyone has an opinion on how they should plan their special day. Trying to please everyone can be exhausting! By taking your wedding to a totally different destination, you give yourselves the freedom to plan your wedding the way you want. You’ll be less likely to be tied to traditions and rituals, and more free to choose ways to celebrate that are unique to you and your relationship. You will also feel less pressure to invite people that are not really a part of your life, but you might feel an obligation to.

Your plans will be simplified.

Planning an amazing honeymoon can take almost as much time and effort as planning for the actual wedding. A destination wedding is the perfect way to combine all the planning, making the process easier and less stressful for you.

You’ll enjoy more quality time with your guests.

Destination weddings tend to be smaller than traditional ones, so you’ll have more time to be with your guests. Because of the planning and cost involved it is likely that only family and those friends that are truly close to you will make the journey. An intimate group of family and friends will give you a more quality experience, even if the quantity of guests is smaller.
