Calculating Your Budget for
A Destination Wedding
You're ENGAGED! CONGRATULATIONS! Now....let's talk about what will it takes to make your dream destination wedding come true!
Weddings are exciting, memories of a lifetime, and those memories need to be budgeted to avoid overspending. In 2022, the average destination wedding cost is $35,600 (from the Knot Real Weddings Study). In this study of over 12,000 couples, 44% of international destination weddings took place in Mexico, while 20% were held in Europe and 18% in the Caribbean.
Here are a few things to consider:
-
Consider holding your wedding during the week vs. the weekend...prices are less.
-
Consider scheduling the wedding during the off-peak season to save costs. Costs can increase as much as 50% during peak-wedding/vacation season.
-
Ensure you select flowers that are available during your wedding's season.
-
The more people you take, the higher the catering costs (per person)...so reduce your guest list for destination weddings.
-
Select a location that is memorable for you, as a couple, and one has exciting sight-seeing options for your guests.
-
KNOW the maximum amount that you are NOT willing to exceed...and stick to it!
