Need-to-Know Wedding Wisdom

🎒 What’s Included?: Most all-inclusive wedding packages cover everything from setup to celebrant, flowers, dinner, music, and cake. Ask your resort if photography, videography, or hair & makeup are included or add-ons.
💸 Cost: Packages start around $3,000 and can go well beyond $10,000+ depending on how “extra” you want to go. Remember, you’re combining a wedding and honeymoon.
