In this video I break down every single thing I would tell a bride planning a destination wedding. During the planning process, I searched the internet ~high and low~ for a video with real, honest tips on planning a destination wedding, which I struggled to find. I wanted to know the juicy details like the cost of their wedding compared to a wedding in the states, how many people they had attend, the legal marriage part, how to pick a resort when you haven’t been there before, etc. Our final cost was around $18.5k, but we got $3.5k back because of how many people we had attend. So around $15k and we got so much with that cost that we wouldn’t have gotten in the states because of how much more expensive it is. Also, WE GOT MARRIED IN A COURTHOUSE! We haven’t shared that with the public until this video, so y’all are special LOL. If you have any questions regarding destination weddings, comment below and I will answer them for you.

Great video & very informative! we will be celebrating our 25 year Anniversary with a Vow Renewal in Mexico this fall and this really helped! Thank you!
What would you recommend for accommodations for your pet while you're away with all your friends and family?
Awesome advice. Thank you!! <3
Oooommmmggggggg thank you!
This was so helpful! I'm planning my wedding destination at this resort! I'm excited! I also contacted your agent! Hopefully I get a response from Kim. Do they have wedding packages? Are the wedding packages price includes food and open bar?
Loved your video! Just booked our wedding at Dreams Vista Cancun for next year! Were you able to get 80% of guest stay at your resort to get the package? I’m scared people will book somewhere else and won’t meet it.
Thank God my fiancé will be flying me in every time I’m a high maintenance bride and we’re having a destination wedding 🫣 I’ve been to Mexico multiple times it’s deff pretty safe as well 🤍. Another tip , do an rsvp first and then if they don’t rsvp they don’t get a seat so you don’t pay for people that do not show up
But what did it cost ? And what are you paying for the venue is the food free since it’s all inclusive?
i am booking secrets with the beyond memorable package.. did you have a 3 hour reception? it sounds so short. I am wonder if i can opt out of the 2 hour rehearsal dinner and use those 2 hours towards my reception instead. do you have any advice on this? thank you!
The most informative video! Question about the photographer does your planner give you options??
You look so much like Jesse James decker!! But thanks for all these tips they were so helpful!!
thank you sooo much I am in the middle of trying to decide if I want a destination wedding or a California wedding (where I live) it's so hard to pick but your video realllly helped me!! it's nervous planning a destination wedding if that's what I choose LOL
Does the guest count include children?
Thanks sooooo much for

This was so helpful thank you for sharing!! What a stunning wedding 🥰 is the total cost you listed including the videographer, hair & makeup etc?
Hiiii Hallie, I’m starting to plan my destination wedding and I’d like to have an idea of how much aprox your guest ended up paying?? And how much is the package that you chose?
This was such a good video. Thank you! And congratulations ❤
The most helpful video ever ❤
Did you do any extra dinners/parties other than the actual ceremony at the resort? Was there an additional cost to that?
This is literally exactly what we booked then family ruined the entire thing and we cancelled💔
my boyfriends dad probaly wont come he already said he doesn't want to and said he doesn't want to have to deal with getting a passport or risk getting stuck in the country. its italy
Thank you for the awesome video! Roughly how much did each guest have to pay for the stay?
Hi @Hallie Walls did you have a wedding website ?
How much did your guests pay for their rooms?
Hi! What would you say was the main difference between Paola and JourneysInc? I’m trying to decide if I should book a wedding planner.
Thank you so much for this in depth review!!
Can anyone tell me where you found your wedding photographer/videographer? Did you hire locally or take someone? Struggling to find one.
I am in awe at how exact your vibe is to mine! YESSS SO GLAD THE ALGORITHM BROUGHT ME HERE! lol
How was the ocean? Beautiful clear blue or seaweedy?
