Considering a Destination Wedding?

November 27, 2019 By Linda Leave a Comment

Congratulations on your engagement! For many couples, they are so excited to get married and make it official, but the thoughts of planning a wedding with their busy schedules, family drama or budget concerns is enough to keep them up at night and threatens to steal their joy. So for many couples, considering a destination wedding is a perfect solution. A destination wedding by definition is a wedding that is held at least 200 miles from the couples home. Destination weddings are a very popular option for second marriages  because they have already gone through the drama of having a wedding at home.

According to TheKnot.com some interesting destination wedding facts:

  1. One out of four weddings is considered a destination wedding.
  2. The top three destinations in the USA are Florida, California and Nevada (Las Vegas is the leader in this category hosting on average of 100,000 weddings per year- and New York City is the most expensive) – although destinations like Nashville and New Orleans are gaining in popularity.
  3. The top three most popular locations for destination weddings outside the continental USA are Caribbean (Jamaica is the most popular), Mexico and Hawaii – a smaller portion choose more exotic destinations like Italy and the South Pacific.
  4.  30% of all couples that have a destination wedding will have a party back home after the wedding to share with those that couldn’t travel to the destination and show a video of the ceremony.
  5.  Half of all destination weddings are planned with the help of a wedding planner, many of the all inclusive resorts have their own wedding team to plan every detail.
  6.  The average cost of a destination wedding outside the continental US is $404 per person, but many resorts include the wedding within the couples resort stay.
  7.  Most hotels will work with the couple to create a guest room block offering discounts based upon how many rooms the group needs to confirm.

  8. The most popular climate for destination weddings is a warm, sunny beach location, while there is a growing number of people looking for adventure weddings, ski resort weddings and vineyard weddings.
  9.  For many brides, planning a destination wedding is like having a part-time job, especially the last three months leading up to the wedding the average bride spends about 11 hours per week on wedding related activities.
  10. The average number of guests at a destination wedding is 86, as opposed to the average number of guests at a traditional wedding at home is 141.
