Top 10 Reasons
To Book Your Destination Wedding With Us!
1. You can say I do anywhere!
A destination wedding is defined as marrying at least 100 miles from where the bride currently lives. So imagine the options that definition opens up for you - the world really is your playground.
2. You’ll stand out from the pack.
One of out every four weddings are destination weddings! Bonus: Wed away, and you won’t have to choose from the same old hometown spots all your friends have booked.
3. It’s easier.
We offer free planning help to couples, whether the event is for two or 200, and an abundance of packages keeps things simple while still giving options to customize. Best yet - lots of our wedding packages are FREE! We have exclusive relationships with our preferred partner resorts that offer free wedding packages for groups up to 10!
4. You can save on decor.
With a destination wedding in a stunning setting, your location of choice supplies the theme, from castle fairy tale to sea-inspired soiree. And when you choose an amazing backdrop, it doesn’t take much to dress it up. Opt for a pristine beach, a tidy vineyard, a blooming garden or a historic plantation house furnished with graceful antiques, and you’ll be more than covered with a few simple florals and other modest accents.
5. Enjoy quality time with loved ones.
The standard wedding lasts for five hours, and the bride and groom spend most of that time running from table to table, trying to say hello to everyone. A destination do spans a minimum of three days — which means, now that you’ve finally gotten your family and friends together, you can actually spend quality time with them! Hooray!
6. It’s a great excuse to limit the guest list.
The very nature of destination weddings - they require travel, a longer time commitment and hotel stays - gives you the perfect excuse to cut down on an often unmanageable number of invitees. Think the second cousins and office mates will be miffed? You can always throw a post-wedding party - complete with plenty of photos - when you get back home.
7. Guests can save on a vacation.
Ask us about discounted room rates for your guests; most resorts are more than willing to bargain in exchange for group business. Some airlines, such as United and American, offer discounted airfares for groups of 10 of more - on the latter, this is true even if your guests are departing from different gateways. And ultimately, your friends will have a blast! Destination weddings give friends and family that most valuable commodity: downtime - to kick back, connect and celebrate. And what’s more fun than that?
8. You’ll share a locale you love.
Part of the joy of a destination wedding is showing off a place that has special meaning to you, be it bringing friends and family back to a beloved college campus, sharing where you took your first vacation as a couple or finally going to an island far far away that you’ve always dreamed of visiting.
9. Flexible timing helps with budgeting.
You’ll be at your destination for a few days, so work with our Destination Wedding Specialist here at ISLAND TIME DESTINATION WEDDINGS to see how timing can trim costs. After all, if everyone is already there, you can wed on a Friday, a Sunday or even a Tuesday - what does the day of the week matter in paradise? Look at seasonality too. Many Caribbean hotels drop their prices dramatically in mid-April; by planning your wedding for May, you can get the same great digs for a fraction of the price paid by visitors a few weeks earlier. Likewise, mountain resort towns offer big savings in spring and fall.
10. You can start the honeymoon early.
Just arriving at your destination is sure to put you in a relaxed mood as the pre-wedding festivities begin. Many hotels offer automatic upgrades to the bride and groom on their wedding night, and you can get an extended mini-moon at a reduced rate after the guests have gone home.
