Cost Effective

In most cases, it’s cheaper than having a wedding at home. Many hotels offer wedding packages including lodging meals and week-long honeymoons for a mere few thousand dollars, meaning you can save the money you would’ve spent on meals, decorations and cakes on your first home or perhaps put more money into the photography- after all you’ll spend a lifetime looking at this wedding album! 

Longer Celebration

In a typical wedding, the celebration will be one day before you and your fiancé head off on your honeymoon. Between photography sessions and getting ready in the morning, the bride and groom spend very little time with their wedding guests. At a destination wedding, the celebration can last a few days or even a week, allowing the soon to be a married couple to spend quality time with everyone attending the big day.  

After spending so much time away from your loved ones during Covid-19’s lockdowns and social distancing, a destination wedding is a perfect way to reconnect with your nearest and dearest. The photographer will not only have photos of your clients walking down the aisle but of all the moments spent with friends and family throughout the week.

Shrunken Guest List

Typically, destination weddings have a much smaller guest list as it requires guests to travel, take time off work, and course pay for their trip. Not every guest is willing or able to do this, meaning if you’re dreaming of a small and intimate ceremony, a destination wedding is ideal. 

Completely Customized to the Couple

Often when a couple gets engaged, both sets of parents have their ideas and suggestions about how it should look, where it should be, and when it should be, and soon the wedding becomes less about the couple and more about the extended family. One of the best ways to do tackle this, without offending anyone is to pick a neutral location that appeals to you as a couple. A destination wedding is a perfect way to make your wedding a unique experience from one of New Zealand’s beaches to Iceland’s snowy mountains. Whatever your dream wedding looks like, a destination wedding can make all those dreams come true.
