Trying to plan a Catholic destination wedding that meets all the requirements of a stateside Catholic Ceremony? Let this be your guide. The answer is yes – you can plan the perfect Catholic wedding that meets ALL requirements of the Catholic Church. Thankfully, our team here at LovinAway has planned Catholic weddings all over Mexico, the Caribbean and Hawaii and have some insight of making it all happen.
Let’s start with destination. The most common locations for a Catholic destination wedding will be found in Riviera Maya, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, and the lush islands of Hawaii. It’s best to look at where the majority of your guests will depart from to really see what’s the best option for a destination to invite all of your friends and family to! Looking for a grand chapel that overlooks the vast Pacific – we’ve got you! Perhaps maybe a quaint overwater chapel that is the ideal size for small gatherings – I know just the one!
Next, is the cost. One of the biggest benefits of having a destination wedding is the cost! We’ve planned numerous destination weddings where the cost for about 60 guests with a full ceremony and reception can be under $5,000! The biggest savings really comes from the reception. At many all-inclusive resorts, you will find tons of group benefits for your reception that really bring down the cost of a full dinner reception with open bar.
When it comes to picking out the perfect destination for you to say your “I dos”, our team at LovinAway recommend picking a destination and resort that has a Catholic Chapel right on-site. This is ideal because you’ll have your ceremony, cocktail party, reception, all within walking distance of your hotel room! Best of all, there’s no added cost of getting transportation to another chapel in town.
