If you’ve ever dreamed of saying “I do” with your toes in the sand or on a breathtaking clifftop overlooking the ocean, you might be wondering: What is considered a destination wedding?
The short answer? It’s anywhere that requires travel for you and your guests.
For some, that means jetting off to a dreamy beach resort in Mexico. For others, it could be a charming countryside estate in Italy or even a cozy mountaintop lodge in Colorado. In our world? A destination wedding is anywhere outside the country where travel planning is just as key as wedding planning.
And lucky for you, that’s our sweet spot! We specialize in all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America so you can say “I do” in paradise without sweating the details.
A Destination Wedding Is More Than Just A Wedding, It’s An Experience
The beauty of a destination wedding is that it’s so much more than just a ceremony and reception. It’s a multi-day experience where your favorite people come together for an unforgettable celebration.
Instead of a traditional wedding that lasts a few hours, a destination wedding is like a built-in vacation for you and your guests. Think welcome cocktails on the beach, a fun group excursion before the big day, a stunning ceremony in paradise, and a farewell brunch to wrap it all up.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but it also comes with logistics.
Planning A Destination Wedding? Get Ready For Guest Questions
Let’s be real—when you invite guests to a wedding that requires flights, passports, and hotel bookings, someone (read: everyone) will have questions.
- Where do I book?
- When should I arrive?
- What’s included in the resort stay?
- Do I need travel insurance?
- How do I get from the airport to the resort?
And trust me, you do NOT want to be the one answering all these questions.
That’s where working with a destination wedding travel advisor (hi, that’s me!) is a game-changer. Instead of juggling endless emails, texts, and DMs from guests asking about their bookings, you get to focus on planning your dream wedding while we handle the logistics to get your guests there stress-free.
