How Much Does It Cost for a Destination Wedding?

By Robert Palmer

A destination wedding is a beautiful, romantic way to tie the knot. It’s a unique experience that combines a vacation with the wedding of your dreams.

But as with any wedding, there are costs that come along with it. So how much does it cost for a destination wedding?

The cost of a destination wedding can vary greatly depending on the location, size of the event, and services included. The average cost for a destination wedding is around $25,000. This includes travel expenses for you and your guests, lodging and other accommodations, venue rental fees, decorations and flowers, food and beverage costs, photography or videography services, music or entertainment fees, wedding attire and accessories for both bride and groom as well as their attendants.

In addition to these basic costs, there are some extras that can add up quickly such as invitations or save-the-date cards, marriage license fees in the country where you’ll be getting married, transportation to and from the ceremony venue or reception site(s), hair and makeup services for the bridal party (and sometimes even guests!), spa treatments for bride or groom before or after the big day.

It’s also important to remember that when you’re planning a destination wedding you’ll need to factor in additional costs such as travel insurance (which is highly recommended) in case of emergencies or cancellations due to inclement weather. On top of all this there may also be vendor deposits required in order to secure their services.

In conclusion, how much does it cost for a destination wedding? The answer depends on what type of services you include in your event but typically expect to spend anywhere between $20K-$30K+. As with any big event like this be sure to budget wisely so you don’t end up overspending!
