Is a Destination Wedding a Good Choice for You?
3 Reasons to choose a destination wedding
Congratulations! If you have landed here, I am guessing you have Just Said Yes or are Engaged and looking for the perfect way to say I Do. You may be contemplating if a destination wedding is right for you. Maybe you already know how unique and meaningful this type of wedding can be for you and your guests.
According to “The Knot 2019 Real Wedding Study”, about 21% of couples chose a destination wedding to tie the knot and this trend is increasing in popularity with each year.
Why are couples drawn to destination weddings? Here are some of the perks of a destination wedding:
Cost Effective
Stress Free
Unique
First Reason: Many couples are pleasantly surprised at the cost savings a destination wedding will bring when comparing to a traditional local wedding and reception. According to the same 2019 Real Wedding Study mentioned above, the average cost of a wedding/reception in this country was $28,000. When comparing the cost of a traditional local wedding to a destination wedding, the destination wedding can be the most cost effective yet luxurious way to start a life together.
You can actually have a destination wedding for free in many cases. Yes, that’s right! Free! Most of my wedding couples have spent between $5,000 and $15,000 depending on the number of guests and options chosen. This is far below the average paid for a local traditional wedding and reception.
Second Reason: Taking so much of the planning out of the wedding logistics can be a huge benefit in itself. With everyone at the same location as the wedding, reception, pre and post functions, transporting guests and tracking all of these logistics are taken out of the equation. This creates a stress free event that is choreographed with ease.
A destination wedding specialist will coordinate your guests travel plans as well as yours, so all you need to think about is enjoying the process leading up to your exciting day. Your vision for your day will come to life without stress or a whole lot of effort on your part. Plus your guests will be thanking you for planning such an incredible event which will create lasting memories for years to come.
Third Reason: These days, most couples are hard pressed to come up with a unique idea and wedding venue that is affordable and instagram worthy. Destination weddings provide a natural stage for the perfect instagrammable photographs. Whether your backdrop is sweeping views of the white sand against turquoise blue waters or a boho chic fairytale dream of a design, your wedding will be captured and shared by all in attendance with pride.
You will have created so many wonderful memories with your close family and friends in a beautiful location and offering your guests a vacation experience they will be forever grateful for. At a time when experiences are more important to people than material objects, this is a perfect way to combine your special moment with an experience of a vacation. Two of life’s dream worthy events hand in hand.
