A Tropical Destination Wedding in Aruba
ByYou should consider planning a destination wedding in Aruba if you've always dreamed of being married on a breathtakingly beautiful tropical beach. It doesn't even have to break the bank, especially if you're planning your wedding from May-November. This is off peak season for Aruba, and your destination wedding will cost substantially less across the board.
During the off season you can find great deals on everything from flowers, catering, and hotels-- to complete wedding packages. Do a little online airline research for discounted airfares, and you've saved money in the major services that constitute the most costly parts of your wedding. Most hotels and resorts in Aruba offer off peak destination wedding packages because it gives them a chance to fill up their empty hotel rooms.
One of the reasons destination weddings have gained popularity so quickly is they make wedding planning so easy. Many hotels have wedding planners and coordinators on staff. They know the local trade, and can help you choose just the right details from the best local photographers, florists, caterers, and even music or DJ's. Most hotels even have complete wedding packages where the staff takes care of all the details. This can be a tremendous relief for the wedding couple, because the task of juggling the schedules of the wedding location, the reception, the photographer, and the music is all handled by someone else. This so stress free it is almost like having a point and click wedding.
Another option for a small intimate beach wedding is renting a luxury villa with a private beach.
Your wedding party and guests can all stay at the villa. The ceremony will be held on the beach that is part of your package. Many of these properties will even have a staff capable of helping you to make all your arrangements. They can also offer invaluable advice on where to buy dresses or other items you wouldn't want to risk traveling with.
I know what you're thinking...I don't want to honeymoon with our parents staying with us!!
Frankly I agree with you. You don't have to though. Typically, you can move to another villa or cottage for your private time. Your guests can even remain in the original villa for a few more days and have their own affordable tropical vacation.
If you're thinking, that doesn't sound very affordable to me. Let's think about it moment. If you research the two options: a traditional wedding in your area with all the trappings, then transportation to your honeymoon destination, and finally the honeymoon itself-you may be pleasantly surprised. Often, the destination wedding is around the same cost as a traditional one. Typically the bride and groom are responsible for the accommodations for all your wedding guests, but your guests pay their own airfare.
You can get surprisingly good deals at all inclusive resorts where all the food and drinks are included. Remember, you are taking advantage of the off season pricing, and the resort or other property's desire to fill their accommodations, They would rather sell a package of rooms at a discount than have them sit empty. You really can have a tropical honeymoon on a budget if you plan a destination wedding in Aruba.
