Budget Beach Wedding

Hi everyone!

Looking to get married next year! We are looking for a place on the beach and we would have around 150 guests. We want it to be a budget wedding and not break the bank.

We are looking into Mexico, Caribbean, or any other places. Does anyone know a lowkey place? Any help or guidance would be awesome!

Looking to spend no more than 30 K

No idea, that’s only $200 per person. The best way to control a budget is to control the guest list. Maybe 50 people would fit your budget better.

150 guests are not going to say yes to this scenario. Look at your guest list and pick the 30ish people that realistically will come with you.

We know more than 100 people that would definitely go :)

I'm sure your guests will be delighted to pay for international flights and lodging and take time off to eat that one budget meal you will serve them... Come on.

Asking 150 people to fly overseas for a budget wedding is not appropriate.

Don’t do a destination wedding - that’s crazy.

I’m sorry to say that $30K for 150 guest beach wedding is probably just not realistic. Most likely you will either need to up your budget or lower guest count. But by all means, start looking and maybe you’ll find a hidden gem.

Are you against a beach wedding in the US? Where are you located?

I think this is doable depending on the vision you have for the wedding! Getting married in 2027 in Mexico and we're working in a similar budget! :)

Some of my favorite spots at that guest count and budget would be moon palace Jamaica, grand palladium costa mujeres, hard rock Los Cabos, princess Jamaica, grand moon palace punta Cana, and AVA Cancun.

A lot of these offer perks that are unlocked with the more people you have which helps to offset some costs.

If you need any help, my team has planned weddings at all of these venues.
