Great Reasons To Plan A Destination Wedding

If you love the ideas of being married next to the water, why not combine your wedding and honeymoon into a destination wedding that everyone can relax and enjoy!

See if we can convince you into having a destination wedding.

1) Destination weddings combine vacation time, the wedding and the honeymoon all into one event, often making it more affordable for everyone.

2) Instead of hosting a large expensive reception for all friends, relatives - and sometimes friends of friends and long forgotten neighbours, the couple invites only their nearest and dearest to a mini-vacation. The money normally spent on a traditional wedding will provide their family and selected friends with an entire weekend of memories in a great vacation spot, instead of one afternoon in a reception hall.

3) A destination wedding tends to be a more relaxed setting, a lot of details such as who sits next to Auntie M. fall by the wayside.

4) Less chance of families fighting - everyone is on vacation!

5) Destination weddings are usually cheaper. Look for all-inclusive packages that feature both your wedding and the honeymoon for $3,000 or $4,000, which a lot cheaper than the average $25,000 traditional wedding and sit-down dinner reception.

6) You are in control! Booking a destination wedding is all about what you want.

7) Especially if you've already been there, done that with a big wedding, destination weddings are perfect for the relaxing getaway to a beautiful locale for second timers. Don't forget to ask about activities for the kids!

8) Your honeymoon begins immediately after the ceremony. Now, that's not bad.

9) Pack light. You can choose your wedding clothes once you arrive in your exotic location! Think Hawaiian style gowns, saris, and of course, shorts.

10) Use your imagination. You could jump in the ocean, or stay on the sand or sail away into the sun. Endless opportunities abound.

11) Fun for those who attend. Think of what you're doing for them! A cruise, or a weekend on the beach - who wouldn't enjoy themselves?
