Great Places to Have Your Affordable Destination Wedding

Dee Bovis
Arranging an affordable destination wedding is an exciting task. However, because of their immense popularity, anyone looking for an affordable destination wedding will likely be discouraged by all the advertisements of $10,000+ wedding packages. How can you find an affordable destination wedding? Luckily, this article does the job for you, as it lists the three great places where you can have a wedding of your dreams for a fraction of the price.

Dream Weddings Hawaii (www.dreamweddingshawaii.com)

Dream Weddings Hawaii offers a range of competitively-priced affordable destination wedding packages, with prices starting at a low $295 (which is a real bargain compared to the average destination wedding cost). Their Patriot package includes the cost of hiring a minister who can work with both standard and customized non-denominational vows. Also included in the package is 60-minute long video coverage. Of course, the Patriot package will not buy you the flashy wedding ceremony that you see in the movies. But if you are looking for an affordable destination wedding and care more about getting married in Hawaii than throwing a luxurious feast, Dream Weddings Hawaii is definitely a place to consider.

Barefoot Weddings (www.barefootweddings.net)

Another great option for an affordable destination wedding is Barefoot Weddings. Barefoot Weddings offers its clients packages starting at a pleasantly low $500. The ceremony will take place on Florida's picturesque Emerald Coast beaches, so be sure to consider this service if you are looking for a beach wedding. The $500 package includes photography services, leis for the bride and groom, and the floral arrangements necessary to make your wedding as festive as possible.

The Wedding Experience (www.theweddingexperience.com)

The Wedding Experience specializes in arranging destination weddings throughout the world. Although some of the offers are a little bit expensive, others are quite affordable and easily classify as an affordable destination wedding. For example, the Cancun package in Mexico costs $1395 and includes a full range of services, including the preparation of the wedding site of the beach, coverage of all legal fees, flower arrangements, and everything else you need to make your wedding just perfect.

Although once limited mostly to the rich elite, destination weddings today have become increasingly available to the general public. Keep in mind that it is always easier to arrange an affordable destination wedding than a low cost regular one, because traveling to a remote location means less guests, and therefore lower costs. Also destination weddings are oftentimes less stressful than traditional weddings, because the destination wedding coordinators do much of the work. So, enjoy your destination wedding and take lots of pictures!

    Umm destination weddings are generally more affordable than regular weddings, at least the way I've been planning mine. And usually only the people you really love and really love you will come to your wedding if it is a destination, so you don't have to worry about crazy cousin Al showing up just because it's an open bar.
