8 Benefits of Having a Destination Wedding

8 benefits of having a destination wedding
best destination weddings
As a destination wedding couple ourselves, we may be a bit biased, but we think having a destination wedding is the best decision.  While we do wish we knew what we know now, we wouldn’t have changed a thing and hope to share what we learned from our experience and now being Destination Wedding Experts with couples who are considering or having a destination wedding.  Even 6 years later, our wedding is something that not only we still talk about, but our guests do too.  We had such an amazing time, created memories that will last forever, and love reminiscing about that day often.
​

So what are the benefits of having a destination wedding?
​

1.  Less stress

Getting married in another country at first may seem like a lot to take on - the unknown and loads of information on the internet is what makes it stressful.  However, when you have the right team of vendors, your stress will wash away.  Most couples say picking the destination and resort are the most stressful part of the planning process and the rest is a piece of cake.  Just remember, you don’t have to do it alone.  When you hire a Destination Wedding Expert, they will narrow down the top destinations and resorts with your dreams, vision, and budget in mind making it much easier for you to pick the perfect place for you.  Plus, most of these resorts and your Destination Wedding Expert already have a list of trusted vendors they know will produce the world class experience you desire.  All of this means you do not have to be in overdrive for the next 12-18 months and can spend more time enjoying your engagement.

2.  Save time
Look…. We are pre-programmed to think it takes 12+ months to plan a wedding and this may hold true for local weddings, but this is not the case when you choose a destination wedding.  The only reason destination weddings are typically planned 12+ months in advance, is to give your guests enough time to check their schedules, request time off work, arrange sitters, and have an easy payment plan to be able to attend your wedding.  In reality, your actual wedding can be planned in 90 days or less.  And… you free up much of your time because you won’t be looking to source vendors, no physical in-person meetings, no final venue checks, etc – everything can be done virtually and you’re planning in your seat and not your feet.

3.  You’ll receive more bang for your buck
Local weddings on average in the United States cost around $27,000 and it’s over in a few hours!!  Now, you’re probably wondering how much a destination wedding costs?  Well, they can absolutely cost the same amount as in the states, but they can also be a fraction of the cost once you consider the perks and travel incentives you can earn from the resort and your Destination Wedding Expert based on your guest count, resort package, etc… PLUS your events are now spread over a few days versus a few hours giving you much more value.

 4.  It’s a vacation for you and your guests
As travel designers, the one thing we hear the most from people is they wish they took more vacations.  And isn’t a wedding the perfect excuse for said vacation?  Vacations tend to bring relaxation and excitement, so your guests will probably let loose more, be much happier, way less drama, and have more fun when attending your wedding. ​
