Destination weddings are often less expensive than traditional weddings due to their smaller size. In addition, you are already in the destination where you plan to spend your honeymoon, and many resorts offer special complimentary weddings or affordable wedding packages. You will also spend a lot less by choosing an all-inclusive resort where much of the food and beverage expense is part of the lodging costs that will be assumed by their guests.
