How much (roughly) does a destination wedding cost?

4 Nov, 2009  Wedding Cost

I am thinking of having a destination wedding….it can be Vegas or somewhere in the Caribbean. How much would a destination wedding cost for about 30 people?

A destination wedding can fit almost any budget.

I’m having my destination wedding in the Florida Keys with about 50-60 guests. We’re using a private estate as the wedding location and it will provide lodging for 25 of us. If I were to cut my guest list to 30, I would only save a few thousand dollars (food and booze) and my total budget is no more than $20,000.

I do think I could have pulled off a destination wedding for $10,000. I could also easily spend $50,000. Its really all a matter of what you have to spend. I know someone who had a wedding in Mexico with 20 people and only spent $6,000 total. I know someone else who had a wedding in the Outer Banks of NC and spent $40,000.

    i looked at a wedding in cyprus for close friends and family (20-30) and we were given £5000 all in

    i would say that vegas and the carribean would be more, but my friends got married in jamaica last year and that cost them close to 7k, that was including hotel for stay, ceremony and small beach reception, flights and paying for all friends and family, so not bad really!

    It all depends on what you are expecting. If you are only paying for a ceremony, and reception and of course your flights and hotel stay than you can do it for around $15,000 or less. If you are picking up the tab for anything other than what pertains to the ceremony and reception, it’ll cost alot more.
