Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a destination wedding cost?
A destination wedding typically costs $20,000-$50,000 for the couple, not including guest travel. Caribbean/Mexico weddings average $20,000-$35,000, European weddings $30,000-$60,000+, and Hawaiian weddings $25,000-$45,000.
Is a destination wedding cheaper than a traditional one?
Often yes, primarily because guest lists are smaller (50-75 vs 150-200). The per-guest cost may be higher, but fewer guests can make the total lower. However, added travel expenses and vendor logistics can offset savings.
Should I pay for my guests' travel to a destination wedding?
It is not expected, but appreciated. Most couples do not pay for guest travel. However, you might negotiate group hotel rates, provide welcome bags, or host a welcome dinner. Some couples cover specific costs for the bridal party.
