Best Destination Wedding Locations: 8 Places to Say I Do
Caribbean all-inclusive wedding packages
Sandals Grande St. Lucian, Beaches Turks and Caicos, and Secrets Cap Cana all offer destination wedding packages including ceremony coordination, reception, photography, and the couple's stay. Pricing varies widely but typical mid-tier packages run $4,000 to $12,000 for the wedding itself plus $3,500 to $9,500 per couple for the week stay. Guest rooms are typically $200 to $450 per couple per night at the same property.
Mexican destination weddings
Cancun, Riviera Maya, and Tulum all have strong destination wedding infrastructure. Mid-tier all-inclusives in Cancun (Hard Rock Riviera Maya, Excellence Playa Mujeres) offer wedding packages at $3,500 to $10,000 plus the couple's week ($2,000 to $5,500 per couple). Tulum boutique hotels offer smaller, more design-forward weddings at $5,000 to $15,000 for ceremony and reception.
European destination weddings
Santorini and Tuscany are the two most-common European destination wedding locations. Santorini ceremony-plus-reception for 30 guests runs $15,000 to $50,000 plus the couple's week ($3,500 to $7,000 per couple). Tuscany weddings run $20,000 to $80,000 for larger villa-based celebrations. Both are more expensive than Caribbean or Mexico but deliver a different aesthetic.
US destination wedding picks
Charleston and Napa Valley are the two strongest US destination wedding locations. Charleston venue plus reception for 30 guests runs $15,000 to $50,000. Napa Valley similar range. Both work for couples who want destination-wedding feel without international travel for guests.
