The popularity of destination weddings has risen dramatically for the past several years because they are often less expensive than traditional weddings. Because many hotels and resorts rely on destination wedding guests to occupy dozens of rooms at a time, hotels and resorts are often willing to work with bridal parties to create all-inclusive deals that are mindful of budgets. And, apart from their affordability, destination weddings allow for unique, intimate affairs that are wonderfully memorable for happy couples and their guests.
