Why the Resort Matters for Your Destination Wedding

If you dream of saying “I do” on a Caribbean beach beside crashing waves and swaying palm trees, consider starting with the hotel.

For such a momentous occasion, it’s not just about where you are celebrating, but who is there with you and the little details that make the day completely yours. Hotels and resorts that specialize in weddings know this and prioritize every couple’s vision, while also making the logistics of getting married away from home as seamless as possible.

When you have the help of an experienced travel advisor (we like to call them “agents of honor” at AAA) and choose a resort that prides itself in nuptial planning, coordinating a destination beachfront wedding may actually be easier than doing it yourself stateside.

Every detail is covered, all in one place. Flowers, music, officiant, photos, linens, sparkling wine to toast with – the resort takes care of it all.

Destination weddings are often smaller, which could mean extra savings. Resort wedding packages also include a robust list of inclusions and perks that can be customized to your budget.

There is no wedding “season.” Plan for the time of year that works best for you. Especially in the Caribbean, the weather is almost always good (just be mindful of hurricane season).

No need to plan a honeymoon. You’re already there!
