What destinations do you specialize in for destination weddings?

We specialize in all-inclusive destination weddings in three primary regions: Mexico (Riviera Maya, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, Playa del Carmen, Tulum), the Dominican Republic (primarily Punta Cana), and Jamaica (Montego Bay and Negril). We work with leading resort brands including Dreams, Secrets, Riu, Palace Resorts, Hard Rock, Hyatt Ziva and Zilara, Paradisus, and Barcelo.

What is included in an all-inclusive destination wedding package?

All-inclusive destination wedding packages typically include a ceremony venue (beach, gazebo, or chapel), an officiant, a bridal bouquet and boutonniere, a wedding cake, and a sparkling wine toast — often at no charge when a minimum number of guest rooms are booked under a group contract. Enhanced packages add upgraded decor and florals, a cocktail reception, a private dinner, and entertainment. Our agents help you compare packages across resorts and understand exactly what each includes and what is an add-on.

How do I start planning my destination wedding with VFL?

Getting started is simple and completely free. Fill out our online inquiry form at https://www.vfldestinationweddings.com/destination-wedding-planning or call us at 1-800-200-2423 (Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5:30 PM Pacific Time) to schedule a free consultation. We will help you narrow down destinations and resorts, understand your package options, and outline a planning timeline — all before you commit to anything.

Are there group discounts or special rates for wedding guests?

Yes. Group room contracts at all-inclusive resorts come with significant perks. When a minimum number of rooms are booked — typically 10 rooms for 3 or more nights — resorts unlock complimentary rooms for the couple, room upgrade certificates, resort credit, and preferred guest rates. We manage the entire group room block process: setting up the contract, sending booking instructions to your guests, and tracking your group nights to make sure you receive every perk you are entitled to.

What do my guests need to know about travel and accommodations?

We prepare clear travel instructions for your guests covering how to book their resort room under your group contract, flight options from major US cities, airport transfer arrangements, and what to expect at an all-inclusive resort. Guests book their rooms directly through us or through a booking link we provide, and we are available to answer their questions along the way.

How much does a destination wedding cost?

The cost of a destination wedding varies based on destination, resort, and guest count. For small ceremonies of 10 to 20 guests using a complimentary resort package, costs can start under $5,000. For 20 to 40 guests with an upgraded package and reception dinner, expect $5,000 to $15,000. For 40 to 75 guests with full reception and entertainment, costs typically range from $15,000 to $30,000 or more. Many resorts offer a complimentary base ceremony package when a minimum number of guest rooms are booked, meaning the wedding ceremony itself can cost $0 in package fees. Guest accommodations, typically $150 to $350 per night all-inclusive, are usually the largest budget item.

Can I have a destination wedding for under $10,000?

Yes — and it is more achievable than most couples expect. Many all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Dominican Republic offer complimentary ceremony packages when a minimum number of guest rooms are booked. For a small wedding of 10 to 30 guests, the ceremony itself can cost nothing in package fees, with guests covering their own all-inclusive room rate. See our guide to destination weddings under $10,000 at https://www.vfldestinationweddings.com/Travel/Destination-Weddings/destination-weddings-under-10000.

Do I need a destination wedding planner or a travel agent?

A destination wedding travel agent handles all travel logistics: resort selection, group room contracts, guest booking support, and travel coordination. An on-site resort wedding coordinator — included at most all-inclusive resorts — handles ceremony details: decor, florals, menu, timeline, and vendor coordination. Together they cover everything, and using a travel agent costs you nothing extra. For most all-inclusive weddings of 10 to 60 guests, the travel agent and resort coordinator combination is all you need.
