Destination weddings continue to become more and more popular. The idea of going to a picturesque spot in the slovenian mountains, a historical Lake Bled castle or a idilic church on a lake is nothing short of dreamy. And while destination weddings are side by side with traveling and logistical planning, for many couples, it’s all worth it. Nothing compares to the experience of a destination wedding, especially if you have a affection for romantic getawys or crazy adventures. They’re also perfect for couples with friends scattered across the country or the world – if everyone has to travel, why not go somewhere you’ve all been looking forward to?
When you get married far from home, you may expect a lot more personal ceremony and essentially get married and honeymoon for the price of one. But planning such a gathering is no simple task. There are several crucial factors to take into account before jetting off to a foreign country to wed your sweetheart. What therefore accounts for the increased cost of destination weddings?
What affects a destination wedding’s price?
The same fundamental parts of a local wedding also apply to destination weddings. Invitations, a dress, rings, a location, caterer, a florist, music, a photographer, cake, and an officiant are all necessary. The expenses that will increase in price are travel, lodging, group activities, extras, and a full-service destination wedding planner.
A destination wedding’s overall cost varies. Location, the number of days, the number of events, the rate of exchange between the US dollar and EUR, the season, the number of guests, and other factors all affect prices. However, the standard baseline estimate for a destination wedding is 25.000,00€ on average for 70 guests.
With all the other wedding details coming in at an equally lower cost, it makes perfect sense to book a destination wedding in a stunning location like Lake Bled.
For easier planning your dreamy destination wedding – hire a planner! I know you probably expected that, but it’s true. If you’re planning a destination celebration, you’re going to need feet on the ground before you arrive, finalizing all of the last-minute details so you and your guests can arrive stress-free. This way, instead of spending hours on phone calls trying to overcome a language barrier or making executive decisions from miles away, you have an expert taking care of it all for you. However, if a planner isn’t in your budget, look for a venue with a strong on-site coordinator.
