Tired of using the same local venues: There are only a limited amount of options that are capable of holding a large South Asian wedding. Most likely, you have attended a few weddings at the same local venue! With that being said, you are probably ready for a change! Choosing a destination spot provides your friends and family with a unique spot that they have not already explored!
For the travelers: If you and your spouse love to travel, then you should consider hosting a destination wedding! This allows you both to check off another bucket list destination spot. This will also provide inspiration to your guests to have their own destination wedding if they share the same love for travel.
Endless guest list: We all know when it comes time for weddings, your parents insist on inviting every person you’ve ever met. With that being said, some of the most extravagant and largest wedding venues require a destination wedding. Not only does this provide your guests with a comfortable amount of space to have this wedding, but it provides everyone with a memorable experience.
Intimate Weddings: Destination weddings not only work for those that are hosting a wedding of 100s of people, but also, it allows you to only host a wedding for your closest family and friends. It is the best way to bring the two families together in a special place to bond. All parties get a chance to enjoy the gorgeous weather, beautiful beaches, and delicious restaurants all while relaxing and having zero worries. What better way to celebrate your love than on a tropical beach instead of a local hotel ballroom!
Prior connection: If you or your spouse have a prior connection to a particular spot, you may want to host your dream wedding there. This allows you to have a deeper connection to your spouse and venue! It gives you the customized options and a full understanding of your wedding venue. Being familiar with the area and venue makes the planning process a lot easier!
Stress-free planning: The majority of wedding destination venues provide everything for you! This allows for a must easier planning process as it is all taken care of for you! The complimentary wedding planners will go over every little detail for you to make this an enjoyable process. This is typically the selling factor in choosing a destination wedding as you will be at peace for the months leading up to it!
Destination venues offer “Indian packages”: Because extravagant Indian and South Asian weddings are on the rise, many destination spots are offering what is known as an “Indian package.” This will allow the larger wedding parties to hold up to 6 different celebrations during their stay. This will provide the whole experience, and make everything for personal toward the South Asian wedding celebration.
Free honeymoon!: Hosting your dream destination wedding eliminates any additional costs of a honeymoon because you are already there! It is way easier and less expensive to extend your stay at your wedding venue location than to plan and travel again to another location! Weddings are expensive; therefore, eliminating the additional costs of a hotel stay and travel are easy ways to keep those costs down!
Unique experience: Every celebration in your wedding can be held at a different location at your wedding venue! This provides you and your guest with a unique experience every time time you celebrate! The endless celebrations will feel completely different every time!
Cost savings!: Ok, who doees’t love to save money? Especially on one of the most if not the most expensive day of your life! A lot of venues at the destination locations offer a discount depending on how many guests you have. Also, because the venue typically assigns you a wedding planner that will do everything for you, you won’t have to individually hire every part of your wedding!
