In such situations, a destination wedding can also be a way to save money. While a wedding in a large city like New York would often start around $40,000, a destination wedding in Mexico will often fall between $5,000 and $8,000.
Wedding planner Sasha Souza says that although couples having a destination wedding are likely to invite fewer people, they generally put more effort into entertaining the whole wedding party--creating a more memorable experience. "Everyone has been to a luxury hotel but a destination wedding is something special," explains Souza.
