If you’ve searched online to figure out how much a South Asian destination wedding in Mexico or the Caribbean might cost, you’ve probably noticed that the numbers vary—a lot. One source might quote $30,000, while another suggests $100,000 or more. So, what gives? Why do the estimates differ so much, and what really influences the final price of your wedding? Let’s break it down so you can understand what goes into your total investment—and how to get the most value from it.
What Impacts Your Wedding Cost?
Every couple’s wedding vision looks different, which means pricing will always vary. The range you see online typically depends on several key elements such as:
- The guest count
- How elaborate you’d like your events to be
- Your chosen destination and resort
- The venues you select within that property
- The dates you’re considering (peak season vs. off-peak)
- The vendors you hire (planner, photographer, decorator, mehndi artist, DJ, etc.)
- Your décor and design style
- The menus and special extras you include
All of these details combine to shape your overall cost. But there’s one factor that has the biggest influence on how much you’ll actually spend—and how much you can save.
The Most Overlooked Factor: Who You Work With
The planner or travel professional you hire can make a world of difference in both your experience and your budget. Why? Because experienced experts have established partnerships with resorts and vendors—and those relationships often unlock exclusive perks, upgrades, and savings that you wouldn’t be able to access on your own.
