Destination Weddings are a growing trend for many reasons and a great way to spend quality time with family and friends prior to the BIG DAY!

Destination Weddings can be as large or as intimate as you want them, from just the two of you to a group of 100+ of your closest guests.

Top reasons to select a Destination Wedding:

Location

You decide what type of scenery you want!  Have you always dreamed of a wedding on a beach or saying your I-do’s on top a mountain peak?  This is your chance to make your dreams come true!

Stress Free

There is very little stress in planning as you work with our Destination Wedding specialists to take care of the details for you.  They’ll work with the onsite wedding coordinators to ensure your day is perfect!

Cost-Friendly

Traditional weddings can cost $20,000 – $40,000 and that doesn’t include the honeymoon. Destination Weddings encompass the ceremony and honeymoon still leaving money to start your life together.

Relaxation

You usually arrive onsite 2-3 days prior to your ceremony to finalize local residency requirements.  Your early arrival allows you to relax and enjoy the days leading up to your wedding.

Unique

Your day is guaranteed to be unique…  from the days leading up to it, to the ceremony itself and the party afterwards. It’s your day to do exactly as you wish!  Dance in the water, “trash” your dress or whatever else makes you happy!

Once in a Lifetime

It is truly a once in a lifetime celebration!  It’s a private intimate party just for you and your guests!  Share it with your family and friends and enjoy your time together.  You’ll cherish the moments and memories you make!
