Destination With About 40-50 Guests With Budget Of 7K. Is This Doable?

[Vjohana]

I just got engaged and I have no idea where to begin. I am open to all places, not just Mexico. However I'm under a pretty tight budget under $10k. Ideally $7k. Is it doable? For an all inclusive ?

Welcome and congrats!

 

Is your budget of $7k for wedding alone or for your trip as well? For wedding alone that's very doable if your guest list isn't extensive. Ie 100 people.

 

Finding the resort is the hardest part and a travel agent will be your best friend. They will help narrow down location and resort based on pricing, your wants list, and wedding packages. Also can get you a group rate and sometimes hotel perks!

 

Good luck

Hi All,

 

Last Saturday, I was engaged to the man of my dreams and I couldn't be any happier. Out situation is tough because we have a large family, not much money to spend, and we are in a long distance relationship so we opted for a Destination wedding. I do not really know where to begin and have been trying to do some research on my own. 

 

Here are some details:

- We want to get married end of July/ August 2016 (tight deadline).

- We are thinking of having about 40 - 50 guests.

- We really want an all inclusive resort. 

- We are thinking Mexico but are open to ideas

 

Is a $7K budget really doable? This would include our wedding packages, resort, and travel. We would have the guests pay for their travel and resort costs and would ideally love to find something affordable for the, We are young and inlove and unfortunately not rich.

 

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

$7k is a little tight when you take out your travel costs but it is not impossible because there are some resorts that offer "free" weddings and private events if you have a certain # of rooms/nights booked through a group block.

 

Also, we have a promo running where we give back up to $1000 back to the bride and groom for airfare.  So if you take advantage of the different promotions out there it is doable.

I would start by getting a,Travel agent they could really help deciding where you want to go.

Thanks! Does anyone have a good recommendation for a travel agent? I have been working with a local one but I am getting the feeling they are not very experienced in DW.

@@Vjohana where are you located? I have a great TA that I'm working with who is just outside of Toronto. All of our correspondence is via email and phone. She really has been the best decision I've made in planning our wedding. Let me know if you'd like me to give you her contact info.
