Destination Wedding Cost

And believe it or not a destination wedding is much cheaper than a traditional wedding. Like a resort in Jamaica for some twenty or thirty couples would cost you around $40,000. However, if you plan to arrange the same wedding in your hometown your guest list will go up to 300 people and so will the expenses.

This cost includes a rehearsal dinner on the beach with some exotic barbecued foods and tropical drinks along with the best bands. You can also opt for a formal sit-down wedding in an air-conditioned room or on an outdoor terrace with a farewell brunch."
