8 All Inclusive Destination Weddings and Packages Under $5K

You don’t need a five-figure budget for a destination wedding. Based on real data from our couples, the average destination wedding costs $9,850, but couples who target the right resorts and packages can have a beautiful celebration for a fraction of that.

Some of the best all inclusive resorts in Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Jamaica offer wedding packages that come in well under $5,000, and several are completely free when you meet minimum room night requirements.

We’ve selected 8 all inclusive destination weddings and packages under $5,000, ranging from complimentary packages covering 60 guests down to deposit-only options at $1,100. Each one is at a resort that our Certified Destination Wedding Specialists recommend.

Destination Wedding Packages Under $5K FAQs

Can you really have a destination wedding for under $5,000?

Yes. Several all inclusive resorts offer complimentary wedding packages when you meet minimum room night requirements, and paid packages at affordable resorts start as low as $1,100-$1,399. Even the most comprehensive package on this list (The Eternal Love package at Dreams Onyx comes with photography, video, live music, and private reception) comes in at $4,099. Couples who qualify for a free package can have a beautiful wedding for the cost of a photographer and a few personal touches.

What’s the difference between a free package and a paid package under $5K?

Free packages cover ceremony essentials: venue, basic decor, cake, champagne, bouquet, and coordinator. Paid packages under $5K add upgrades like private receptions, professional photography, live music, rehearsal dinners, and spa treatments. The choice depends on your priorities and whether the essentials are enough or you want a more complete, full-service experience.

Each resort has its own requirements, typically based on minimum room nights booked. Common thresholds range from 5 rooms for 3 nights to 15 rooms for 7 nights.
