Re: Destination wedding cost?

DH's brother got married in Turks and Caicos and we went for 2 nights only. We spent about $1700 on the airfare and the resort.
Way overpriced IMO (This was Beaches, and I felt it was SOOOO overpriced and the food their SUCKED so bad and I am not picky. )

Re: Destination wedding cost?

WOW!! At our's we worked out a deal with the resort and found the cheaper air flights for people. I think most who came down for our destination wedding spent maybe $1,000-$1,500 for 4-5 days for 2 including air fare. Most people made a mini vacay out of it.

But then again it was 8 years ago but I can't imagine the prices went up that much!

Thanks all! We are planning on 5 days, which is $1800, plus airfare. I am in the BP, DH is not. Not bringing the baby though. All inclusive, so I think it sounds like a good price. This is also in Mexico.

I spent around $3k for all three of us but to be fair.. I got my tickets pretty late in the game. We stayed a week in Maui. Didn't pay for the condo, paid for food here and there.

DH and I were just in one in April on the Disney Cruise. Between the airfaire, night before in a hotel, and the cruise it was about 3k. Add excursions, dress, tux, and all that other happy horse cr*p and we were well over 4k.

I actually don't think that's very reasonable at all. Airfare to Mexico is usually in the $500-600 range. So $2300 per person for 4 nights, 5 days is pricey. That's almost $5000 per couple.

Destination wedding cost?

A friend of mine is planning on a destination wedding in Bermuda. I've been looking at airfare and from what I see, it's going to cost around $3000 for DH and I for air and hotel.

Re: Destination wedding cost?

Dh brother got married in at Lucia 2 years ago. It was a little over 3k with airfare and hotel we stayed 3 days. We looked at it as not just a wedding but a vacation.

Ok, then $2800 for a couple is not bad at all. I would get the pricing for people for 3 nights, 5 nights and 7 nights and let them figure out what will work best.
