Frequently Asked Questions
Your guests can choose to stay at a different property. However, they will have to pay a day pass fee to come on the property for your wedding and they will often restrict the amount of time they can spend at the property. Fees are determined by the resort.
While it is possible, it is rare that the room block rates are not the best price. If your destination wedding is booked through a room block, we have a contract that not only provides a great rate to all of your guests, but guarantees the room booked or something better. This isn’t always the case with third-party travel websites!
Yes. We are able to assist with booking airfare from around the country for you and your entire destination wedding group.
If you have a room block, the cancellation penalties will be located within the contract. Your LovinAway advisor will be on top of your room block to make sure any unused rooms are released before incurring a penalty. If you do a flexible group rate (live rate), then it is subject to resort penalties at the time of cancellation. Cancellation fees for the wedding itself can vary from resort and venue.
Not necessarily! While the more traditional route is to book a room block for your destination wedding group, we also offer flexible rates which is a great option for couples looking for less of a commitment. Learn the differences between booking a room block vs a flexible group.
We handle all of the travel plans associated with your big day for you and your wedding guests. We will connect you with the on-site wedding coordinator to handle the rest of the details, from check-in to flowers, hair and makeup appointments and more.
We do not charge fees for Caribbean and Mexico destinations. However, for destinations like Europe we do charge a planning fee which will later be applied to your reservation if you book with us. If you decide to do a room block, most resorts do require a deposit of $100 per room, which will be applied to your reservation.
Destination Weddings are either a legal ceremony or a symbolic ceremony.
Symbolic destination weddings are the most common because it’s the easiest way to tie the knot abroad and allows you to make it as personal as possible. The caveat is that a symbolic wedding is not considered legally binding.
A legal ceremony is just that – legally binding. There are different requirements depending on the destination that you choose. It is definitely trickier than a symbolic ceremony, but not impossible! Your travel expert will help with all of the necessary requirements if you wish to have a legal ceremony in destination.
We recommend you start planning around 12 months prior but have worked with couples further out as well. For popular hotels and venues, the earlier the better. Just note that most flights won’t be available if you are looking at least a year out.
Not at all! A major benefit of working with LovinAway is that you don’t have to pay up front. Your travel advisor will provide you with payment deadlines along the way, but you won’t have to pay in full up front (unless you’re booking a last-minute wedding).
The price of a destination wedding can vary based on a number of factors, including where you want to go, how many guests you will have, what sort of accommodations you are looking for and much more. For the most part, the average destination wedding is under $10,000.
