8 Reasons to Choose an All-Inclusive Carribean Wedding
Often a once in a lifetime opportunity, choosing to take your loved ones to the far flung isles of the Caribbean can be a real crowd pleaser and an unforgettable experience for all involved. From the pure paradise landscape and endless amounts of delicious food and beverages, to the dreamy weather and abundance of fun amenities and experiences, there’s plenty of reasons why an all-inclusive wedding in the Caribbean could be the perfect choice for you.
On the off-chance you need any more convincing, we’ve listed 8 key things that make them particularly special and unique.
1. Built-in holiday for you and your loved ones
It’s not very often, if at all, that you get to go away on a once-in-a-lifetime trip with your nearest and dearest, so a wedding provides the perfect opportunity to host both a beautifully memorable milestone and a truly spectacular family memory, that will be talked about for years to come.
2. Wedding packages are often complimentary
One major plus about hosting a wedding at an all-inclusive resort is that the wedding packages are often complimentary, especially if you book through a travel agent like Kenwood Travel who are able to secure exclusive deals. This means you just need to think about where you want to go and cost per person, without having to factor in all the various wedding add-ons that are known to get a bit out of control.
3. Easier to stick to a set budget
We all know that having a wedding budget is one thing, but managing to stick to it is an entirely different challenge. By choosing an all-inclusive resort, you simply do all your research based on a final price per head, with everything from the wedding to the extended stay covered. For those new to the all-inclusive game, you can typically expect for the below elements of your stay to be included within the price:
Accommodation
All alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink, with often top shelf spirits included
Food across all their restaurants and cafes
Water sports and on-land sports
Day and evening entertainment
Access to all facilities including pools, fitness centres and spa
This really helps to ensure you don’t go over budget, whilst still providing your guests with a truly indulgent wedding experience.
4. Stress-free wedding packages
Most all-inclusive resorts will provide simply one or a set of wedding packages for you to choose from, keeping the endless and sometimes stressful decisions to a minimum whilst also creating a beautifully memorable wedding day for you both. The packages usually include your ceremony, floral arrangements and perhaps a cake or musical accompaniment, but can be further built on and tailored to your exact requirements.
5. Resorts often have prime vantage points on the beach
With a large number of luxury all-inclusive hotels having access to their very own private beaches, it means you can have the coastal wedding you always dreamed of with minimal fuss or stress. By occupying large sections of beach due to the size of the property, they have plenty of beach locations nestled away to ensure you can have a private ceremony away from curious eyes.
6. Plenty of venues to host your wedding events within
Home to an absolute abundance of beautiful restaurants, bars, lounges and al fresco dining spots, you can keep the events around your wedding unique and varied. From a rehearsal dinner in their fine dining restaurant to a beach side barbecue the day after the wedding, you can have fun coming up with the celebrations without the stress of how much it might cost (spoiler alert: it’s free!)
7. Very good value for money
One of the real selling points of both a destination wedding and an all-inclusive resort is just how much bang you get for your buck. With weddings abroad often being significantly cheaper than the UK, the additional benefit of choosing an essentially unlimited package for a set price really puts your mind at ease, whilst also making you feel that it’s a real treat for you and your guests too.
8. Expert in-house wedding planners
Most all-inclusive resorts will come with their own in-house wedding planner, brimming with experience and expertise on how to make your wedding day truly special. They’ll likely already have their handpicked suppliers for the various elements of the day, so it’s just a case of letting them know what you fancy and leaving them to coordinate everything to perfection.
Whether you're picturing exchanging vows on a beachfront against the soundtrack of ocean waves or an intimate ceremony in a gently lit gazebo, Kenwood Travel’s dedicated team of experts will ensure your special day is everything you’ve been dreaming of.
