Why we love destination weddings?

Cost savings
Destination weddings are budget-friendly powerhouses, offering savings of up to 40% compared to conventional weddings

Intimate Bliss
Say goodbye to wedding guest-list headaches! Destination weddings create an intimate, close-knit vibe, perfect for celebrating with your cherished inner circle.

Extended celebration
Enjoy a celebration that goes beyond a single day. It's not just a wedding; it's a multi-day experience filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable moments.

Picture-Perfect Backdrops
Forget ordinary venues. Picture yourself in exotic, jaw-dropping locations that turn your wedding into a visual masterpiece. Your photos will be breathtaking!

Built-In Honeymoon
Destination weddings can seamlessly transition into honeymoon mode, saving on travel expenses and time traveling, giving you more time for each other.

Stress-Free Bliss
Your travel advisor takes care of the travel logistics for you and your guests, and many resorts and venues offer wedding coordinators and stunning all-inclusive wedding packages, leaving you free to focus on the fun stuff and creating unforgettable memories.

A survey by Destination Weddings Travel Group revealed that 87% of couples said the top reason for having a destination wedding was to have a more intimate celebration with close family and friends.

A study by the ISDWP
(International Society of Destination Wedding Professionals) found that 47% of couples said they had fewer planning challenges with destination weddings compared to traditional weddings.
