Hey there fiancée… if you’re reading the words on this page, odds are you’re newly engaged, amid your wedding planning checklist, or seriously debating if the endless to-do list is worth it all.
While wedding planning can come with a fair share of tasks, meetings, fittings, and more, it’s no wonder that many couples would never consider the thought of doing all of that on top of planning a wedding at a destination they may have never visited before.
But what if we told you that planning an all-inclusive luxury destination wedding is easier?
With a destination wedding, rest easy knowing that while, yes, you may have some prep work to do leading up to The Big Day, it could also come at a fraction of the cost compared to The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise. You’ll be guided by expert wedding planners at Inclusive Collection, part of World of Hyatt.
What does All-Inclusive mean?
With their all-inclusive offerings, guests pay a flat rate per night, per person that include everything needed for a perfect getaway:
- Accommodations
- Gourmet meals
- Top-shelf drink choices
Endless day and nighttime activities include:
- Local spirit tastings
- Dance classes
- Cultural experiences
Who is this Good For?
Most destination wedding venues will be able to accommodate your party regardless of the size of your guest list. If you’re looking to maximize the experience for everyone involved, then we’d recommend a destination wedding for smaller groups (10-100 guests) so that everyone can enjoy the resort’s offerings.
Alternatively, if you’re looking for an easy way to weed out pity invites, the potential travel costs may help make cuts while guestlist planning.
Any Inclusive Collection resort would also make a picture-perfect backdrop for an intimate, yet exquisitely planned elopement. We know, the mere sight of a wedding planning checklist can feel unbearable, and sometimes running away and sharing a coastal ceremony makes the most magical memory.

Are destination weddings in Mexico cheaper than in the US?
To put it shortly, yes. Thanks to currency exchange rates, the American dollar can stretch a bit farther in Mexico than it would in the US when stacking up wedding costs. While there are more details to account for while planning a destination wedding in Mexico, the risk is worth the reward.
Thanks to the variety of wedding packages available at all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, there are plenty of options to choose from that will meet all of your needs. For the absolute best deal, it’s smart to combine the destination wedding location with your honeymoon as an easy way to save on flight purchases and increase your opportunities to save even more by bundling any available wedding and honeymoon packages together.
For the best prices, some destinations have amazing promotions during the “low season” towards the end of summer and the beginning of fall.
Destination weddings in Mexico on average range from $5,000 to $30,000 in cost; however, ceremonies at one of Hyatt’s all-inclusive destinations start at just $999.
