Destination Weddings – The Cost

There are many advantages to destination weddings. I was just talking to a friend that lives in Texas. She got married in Costa Rica. She said she was looking first in Dallas to find a reasonable place to rent for the reception. Once she added catering, table rentals, etc. (you know the drill), the cost was way outside her budget. Then she priced it in Costa Rica. For the flowers, food, table and chair rentals, chair covers, wine (limited to 2 glasses per guest), she only spent $1700! I was blown away by that number. My flowers alone were half that. Keep in mind, that doesn’t include her gown.

Obviously, there are many things to take into consideration before planning a destination wedding. Sometimes they can get very expensive. Here is a helpful link for some reminders before deciding if a destination wedding is for you. http://www.destinationweddings.com/#news
