With January being one of our busiest months for meeting new couples we thought we’d answer some of our most frequently asked questions to help our new brides and grooms find their way. One questions w’ere frequently asked is if we offer ‘ all inclusive wedding packages for weddings abroad?’
Although our answer is YES, all inclusive in the sense of a wedding package is different to what you’d expect with an ‘all inclusive holiday’ that you’d book with a travel agent.
I’ve given an example below of one of our all inclusive wedding packages and will explain in more detail how these work and how they can be tailored to make sure your wedding is unique to you.
An all inclusive wedding package essentially means you have all you need, so in this way, it is similar to an all inclusive holiday package.
However because we specialise in weddings our all inclusive wedding packages will differ depending on what each venue offers. For example some venues offer all inclusive drinks packages and others only a cash bar option.
Our all inclusive wedding packages include everything you’d need as a minimum for your wedding day; so this is,
- any administration
- local wedding legal fees
- your on the day planning team
- transfers too/from the venue where compulsory or necessary
- your ceremony and venue hire fees
- set up of the ceremony and reception which will differ as each venue is different(by this we mean flowers/gazebo etc).
- Bride and groom flowers
- Wedding cake
- Photographer.
- Drinks packages only if compulsory
- Wedding dinner
- Live entertainment or a DJ.
Some venues include lots of extras in their hire fees but availability of these can change depending on the time of year and season so we only include those that are standard and will appear at every wedding so to not mislead.
Tailoring your wedding day
We provide our All Inclusive Wedding Packages to give you an idea of what a wedding will cost at each venue, they are by no means set in stone and in almost all cases are tailored by each couple. Certain aspects of each package cannot be removed, again these differ for each venue so we’ll advise on an individual basis.
We suggest using these packages as a starting point to create your unique and very personal wedding day with the help and experience of our wedding team.
This could be flowers, decor, menu, drinks, entertainment, the list is endless. For any extras to the packages we’ll provide prices and quotes before a decision is made, so you’re in full control of your budget at all times.
The Aim.
Our aim is for you to have an amazing wedding, that will create memories to cherish forevermore, but also a wedding that you can afford and will be pleasure to plan.
We have sample all inclusive packages for all of our venues, so if your looking for the perfect venue and you’re at the research stage then contact us for ideas, from there we can work with you towards finding your perfect venue and creating your dream wedding day.
