The most dramatic advantage is financial.  It can be much cheaper to have a destination wedding than a tradition wedding.  Depending on the resort, you can avoid having to pay a caterer, a ceremony site or reception hall fee, and the bill for the open bar.   Instead of paying big bucks to decorate the ceremony location, the beach provides spectacular backdrop for photos.  A good wedding travel specialist should be able to help direct you to the right choices.  For something as important as a wedding, it helps to sit down and figure out the numbers with a professional.

If you are traveling with a group, there can be many advantages. At the right resort, you’ll receive free room upgrades, a free wedding ceremony, or even free nights. Right now, a few resorts are offering free unlimited private events for those groups.

Fun & relaxed memories are another advantage.  Most couples that choose to go this route are wanting to spend a few days celebrating with family and friends. It’s as much of an emotional decision as it is a financial one.They may be wanting to give their families space and time to create memories together, or maybe they just love the idea of a celebration that lasts more than a day. Just like each couple is unique, their reason for wanting a destination wedding is also unique.
