 How to Plan a Wedding in the Caribbean: Maximize your Budget  
According to recent statistics, more and more couples today want to be out of the country when they tie the wedding knot. The average domestic wedding now costs approximately $27,000. Why not have a romantic tropical ceremony for the same price?

Who would not want to have a wedding in the Caribbean? There are still some traditionalists, but according to last year's statistics from Conde Nast Bridal Group, more and more couples today want to be out of the country when they tie the wedding knot. In addition, the average domestic wedding now costs approximately $27,000.

Perhaps, this, along with reduced airfares and ease of travel, is contributing to more couples having their weddings in the Caribbean, Bahamas, or other romantic destinations where they can find a taste of exoticism and experience paradise for roughly the same price as their stateside counterparts because of smaller ceremonies and fewer guests.

Complimentary Caribbean Wedding Packages

When you have your wedding in the Caribbean, it is practically mandatory that you indulge in order to celebrate this special time. Fortunately, this indulgence can earn you complimentary packages from many resorts. World-renowned resorts like Melia, Sandals, and Paradisus offer incentive packages for their clients. These packages are available to anyone who meets requirements. However, many Internet travel sites miss these offerings because they are swamped with limited time offers full of stipulations, promises of reduced airfare, car rental deals, and themed vacations.

To capitalize on a resort's offering is easy. You simply need meet some baseline criteria in order to qualify for free benefits. This typically includes factors like the length of your stay, the caliber of your accommodations, or the number of rooms you and your guests occupy.

For instance, Paradisus Resorts with locations in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica offer a complimentary wedding package called 'The Wish'. To qualify for this particular package, you only need to stay a minimum of 7 nights in the Royal Ocean View or Royal Suite service - as long a stay as you would likely take. However, by organizing a little strategic planning, you can maximize your money and receive the following free of charge:

  • Symbolic ceremony with non-denominational minister and music

  • Romantic turndown service during your stay

  • Bouquet and boutonniere for bride and groom

  • A bottle of champagne for the wedding toast

  • Paradisus wedding cake

  • Personalized menu cards for maximum six guests

  • In-room bottle of domestic red or white wine or champagne on the night of the ceremony for the couple

  • 10% discount on spa services for the couple

    How to Find the Deals

    Sifting through the Web is just a reality you need to face when searching. However, a little bit of research on your end can save a lot of money and enhance your experience greatly. Remember, it is great to work in collusion with travel agents; however, many deals are only valid when you book directly with the resorts.
