At PlayaDelCarmen.Com we make sure couples get the best possible value for their wedding budget.
I’m happy to share our insights and tips with you.
You’ll find out how much you should expect to pay for your wedding and how you can get great bang for your buck.
How much does an average wedding cost in Mexico?
An average destination wedding in Mexico costs around $8,000.
This compares well with the average cost of a wedding in the US which is $33,000.
It’s also worth remembering that this is an average cost so your wedding may cost considerably less or more depending on details such as how many guests you have and what type of celebration you want.
Want to make the most of your wedding budget?
I have some tips to share that might help.
- Check for FREE wedding offers if you’re booking a large number of rooms at the resort.
- Make the most of package deals and perks that are available at many resorts such as room upgrades and a private beach dinner.
- Think carefully about vendors for your wedding. Resorts normally have a list of recommended vendors and costs are often included in wedding packages or are less than you would normally expect to pay. If you want to hire your own vendor from outside of this list you may have to pay a high vendor fee of around $700-$800.
Finally…
You should choose a local wedding planning service to help you plan your celebrations.
That’s where we come in.
