Destination Wedding Guides

Top Destinations for All-Inclusive Destination Weddings

You know you want a destination wedding, but you may not know where it should happen yet. That is normal - and this is the right place to start.

Each destination has a different feel. Some are easier for guests to reach. Some offer stronger resort value, better sunset views, more luxury, more adventure, or a better fit for family-friendly groups.

Easiest Guest Travel

Mexico

Cancun + Riviera Maya

Best for easy flights, strong resort variety, guest value, and all-inclusive wedding groups with a mix of budgets and travel styles.

Best For

  • Guest value
  • Resort variety
  • Adults-only or family-friendly options

Keep in Mind

Most mainland resorts face east, so this region is usually better known for sunrise over the water than true sunset-over-the-ocean ceremonies.

Pacific Sunset Energy

Mexico

Puerto Vallarta

Best for couples who want Pacific sunsets, local charm, vibrant destination energy, LGBTQ+ friendly culture, and a stronger sense of place beyond the resort.

Best For

  • Sunset wedding moments
  • LGBTQ+ destination energy
  • Culture, charm, and nightlife

Keep in Mind

Resort options can feel different from the Caribbean side of Mexico, so this is a better fit for couples who want destination personality, not just resort convenience.

Luxury Desert Coast

Mexico

Los Cabos

Best for luxury resort experiences, dramatic desert-meets-ocean scenery, elevated design, and couples who want a modern wedding weekend with a little edge.

Best For

  • Luxury weddings
  • Desert + ocean scenery
  • Sunset-forward celebrations

Keep in Mind

Los Cabos often leans more premium, so it can be a stronger fit when guest budget allows for a more elevated resort experience.

Classic All-Inclusive

Dominican Republic

Punta Cana

Best for classic Caribbean beach energy, large all-inclusive resorts, guest-friendly pricing, and groups that want an easy resort-forward wedding experience.

Best For

  • Classic beach weddings
  • Guest-friendly resort pricing
  • Larger wedding groups

Keep in Mind

Punta Cana has many resort options, so resort selection matters. The best fit depends heavily on beach quality, service consistency, food, and group logistics.

Island Soul + Culture

Caribbean

Jamaica

Best for couples who want island energy, music, culture, warm hospitality, romantic beaches, and an all-inclusive wedding with personality.

Best For

  • Island romance
  • Culture and personality
  • Couples-only or family-friendly resorts

Keep in Mind

The area matters. Montego Bay, Negril, and Ocho Rios all feel different, so the right match depends on the beach, transfer time, and guest experience you want.

Nature + Adventure

Central America

Costa Rica

Best for couples who want nature, adventure, scenery, wildlife, and a wedding experience that feels more experiential than a traditional resort-only beach wedding.

Best For

  • Adventure-focused guests
  • Nature and scenery
  • More experiential wedding weekends

Keep in Mind

Costa Rica can be incredible, but it usually requires more intentional planning around guest travel, resort style, transportation, and the overall itinerary.
