WHY TO SAY "I DO" TO DESTINATION WEDDINGS

Destination wedding options have couples speeding off to the airport faster than you can say “I do” – and here’s why:

 

1. They’re more affordable

 

Other than typically being smaller than a local wedding, wedding destinations usually offer all-inclusive packages and bundle pricing that can help cut down on costs. Additionally, most destinations have in-house services like décor, photography, etc. which makes wedding planning a convenient, “one-stop shop” experience.

 

2. It’s all about you

​​​

Having a wedding in a destination of your choice gives you the power to call the shots and make your special day a reflection of your personality. 

​

3. It's a family vacation opportunity

 

Hometown weddings are usually characterized by hustle, bustle and a very limited amount of time with your family and friends, whereas destination weddings are vacation time for the whole family. It’s a great opportunity for everyone to get away (usually a couple of days before the wedding), unplug from the real world, and enjoy quality time together.

 

There is no shortage of wedding destinations, especially in the U.S., Mexico & Caribbean. Below are some of the most popular destinations for 2019-2020:

​

• Florida

​

With its sandy beaches and sunny weather, Florida competes with the Caribbean and Mexico as a popular wedding destination. Particularly convenient for those whose hometowns are in the U.S., Florida offers a few different options for weddings like Miami, Palm Beach and the Keys, to name a few.

 

• California

 

Whether you’re wanting an ocean-side ceremony or a scenic mountain-top view, California has it all. From Catalina Island to Halfmoon Bay, California has plenty of options to choose from, depending on the type of vibe you are wanting for your event.

 

• Mexico

 

Mexico has direct flights from more U.S. Cities, which makes the get-away fairly easy. On the West Coast, the most popular destinations are Cabo San Lucas & Puerto Vallarta. On the East Coast, the most popular destinations are Cancun & Playa del Carmen.

 

• Caribbean

​

With plenty of options to choose from, each Caribbean island has its own distinct personality. Some of the most popular Caribbean destinations include Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Bermuda & Puerto Rico.
