SANDALS RESORT DESTINATION WEDDING - How much does it cost? Sandals resort All-Inclusive

You want to have a destination wedding? You think it's going to be expensive? I've got a secret. I'm going to have my two daughters do this wedding also. Don't tell them. So the way to save on a destination wedding, I'm going to show you two major resorts, Sandals and Beaches Resorts, all-inclusive, amazing wedding packages. Now, for 2024, they just changed all their wedding packages a couple days ago. So from today forward, these are for weddings for 2024 on. I've got some new wedding packages that are amazing. Now, I kind of mentioned it probably before, I have two daughters, one in high school, one in middle school. So I still have some time, but I'm cheap. I don't want to spend a lot of money on a wedding, but I have taken them to Beaches because Beaches is for families. Sandals is for couples. We have been to a family vacation a couple times at Beaches Resorts, and we've seen a lot of little weddings going on. And I've met with the wedding coordinators, I've met with the resort host, the general manager. We've been a lot of times, and it is phenomenal. And if you look around just your local town and you price out a venue, you price out food, bouquets, flowers, decorations then you look at a Sandals or Beaches wedding, it's amazing what you're going to save. You can just book one of these packages. I'm going to go over what comes with the basics of these packages, what the minimums are, what they cost, and go through the whole thing. Or you can customize. Like I said, when you get to Sandals or before, when you're talking to them, there's a wedding coordinator and they're going to walk you through every possible thing. They're going to be there also when you show up. They're going to go through all the planning with you. So if you want to add a special cake or special other things, a before party, an after party, whatever you want to do, music, whatever, they can add that in. But the basic packages come with a ton of stuff. Okay, so the first package, if you're gonna elope, this is a good one for you. The first package is the Two Lovebirds package. If you're gonna have a small wedding, there is a petite package. It's called the Sweetheart Wedding Package. If you want an intimate wedding, there's the Bliss Wedding Package. And for a grand wedding, we have the Epic Wedding Package. Every wedding package I just mentioned, including the elope, comes with these basic things. So like I said, there's a wedding planner, so there's a wedding planning service that comes with all of these. So they're going to help you before the wedding and then also when you're on property. There is a gift registry and also a website template. Sandals and Beaches is also going to help you with your preparation for your marriage documentation. Again, there's an on-site wedding team who's going to help with the setup and the takedown of everything on the wedding day. Each wedding has a picturesque wedding location There's several to choose from, and we'll go over that later as well. Each wedding package comes with a boutonniere and a bridal bouquet. There are white cushioned Chiavari— Chiavari— Chiavari chairs. You understand, they're really nice chairs. There is a private 1-hour cocktail reception with every package. Every one of these packages comes with a wedding cake. You can upgrade it if you want, but it comes with a white fondant wedding cake. Oh, and it has a floral topper. You get a honeymoon dinner in one of the resort specialty dining restaurants. There is also a honeymoon package that comes with each of these. And then on your anniversary, there is a free one-night stay. And of course, there's requirements. Uh, I will put those in the description of this video. Of all the different details on how to get all these little extras. Okay, so let's get into the details of the first package. I call this the Elope package. Sandals and Beaches is going to call it the Two Lovebirds package. So either one, they will know what you're looking for. So it requires a 3-night minimum stay at the Sandals or Beaches Resort. So the package also comes with a massage over at Red Lane Spa. So it's a massage, a couple massage for for two, and then it also comes with a candlelight dinner as part of the package. So this is the elope package, so it's just the two of you. Do you know what it costs? Do you know what this would cost to get a venue and do this somewhere else? If you've looked around, you know it's $1,300. $1,300, you can elope, go to Sandals or Beaches Resort. Now you're going to pay for your room, There's a bunch of different rooming options, and then you can get this package for just $1,300. Now remember, this comes with all of the other items that I talked about earlier. Then on top of it, you get the couples massage and the candlelight dinner. Okay, you talked about it, you're not going to elope, your parents are going to kill you if you elope, so you got to do a package where you can invite the parents. It's even cheaper, it's $1,000. The Sweetheart Package, $1,000. Look, I found a venue a long time ago. Just the venue cost me a ton more than $1,000. So the Sweetheart Package is for up to 10 people, including the bride and groom. It's for parties that have 1 to 5 rooms over at the Sandals or Beaches Resorts. Uh, it's $1,000 for the package. I know I keep saying that, but it's amazing. It's even free You can get it for free if you stay a certain amount of nights, then they just waive the $1,000. It's complimentary, the $1,000 package, if you stay 7 nights in a club or butler level suite. So all your guests get 15% off the Redline Spa. So what they do is, your wedding coordinators, when they get with you on property, they're going to give you coupons, little certificates to hand out to all your guests, so they get 15% off on any of the spa services. Now, it's important to note that if you want the complimentary package, so you don't have to pay anything. So if you meet the requirements for that, it is for ceremonies that are Monday through Thursday, 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Okay, so let's move on. You're gonna have a bigger party, so we're gonna move you to the Bliss Wedding Package over at Sandals O Beaches for 6 to 10 rooms. So that's up to 20 guests. The package is $2,500. For 11 to 20 rooms, that's up to 40 guests, the package is $3,400. You can also have 21 to 25 rooms, which is up to 50 guests. Your total cost for that package is $3,850. Again, you get the 15% Red Lane Spa discount, so your wedding coordinator at Sandals and Beaches is going to give you those little certificates to hand to everybody in your wedding party. This package also comes with a welcome cocktail party, and you get to celebrate your nuptials with a 2-hour wedding dinner reception.

It includes a welcome cocktail reception, a rehearsal dinner, the wedding day treats and sparkling wine wedding reception dinner. And to keep the party going, the package comes with a 2-hour DJ service. Now again, this package, like all the others, comes with all the other extras that I talked about at the beginning of the video. I'm I'm gonna also list everything in the description. I will list out what comes with every single package and all the prices and how to go ahead and get the best prices on all the room accommodations over at Sandals and Beaches as well. Now this year, Sandals has come up with some really amazing inspirational decor for your wedding. It's more Caribbean themed, it's island specific. So the first one is over in Curaçao, which is a Dutch island over the ABC Islands. Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao, one of Sandals' newest resorts. Now, if you haven't been to Curaçao or Aruba, it's kind of a more— I don't know, it's not as tropical, but it's a little more drier climate, lots of cactus and succulent plants. So they're kind of going off of that theme, the divi divi trees that you see kind of blowing in the wind in Aruba. So they have that kind of theme that you can do for your wedding, highlight kind of the terrain and natural elements of Curaçao. So for the table runner, you're going to see a mixture of textures— cactus, succulents, potted plants. There is a wedding design package exclusive to Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort. It's the Bohemian Rush package. So of course it's inspired by the Bahamas, the vibrant colors, the festival. Also the flamingo is incorporated in the design, which is the national bird of the Bahamas. So just from looking at this photo here, you kind of get the vibe of what that package covers. Now another wedding package exclusive to Sandals Royal Bahamian is the Bahamian Seashells package. And if you've been to the Bahamas, you know fresh conch is kind of a staple of something you have to try when you're there. So that is also incorporated into this package. There is a conch blowing to signal good luck during the ceremony. And of course, if you want, you can opt for the conch. It's either conch or conch. You could probably say both. So if you want, you can, uh, if you want, you can also opt for the conch or conch. I don't know which way you pronounce it. Either way, the conch salad bar, the conch fritters., and just kind of introductions to the island's national dish at the reception. So another new wedding theme for this year, not tied to a specific resort, but kind of gives you this Caribbean vibe and kind of focuses on the ocean and the blues and the greens of the ocean, is the Azure Tides. It's simple, natural surroundings kind of focuses and brings out the blues and the colors of the ocean. It's kind of this minimalistic nature, uh, vibe that is going on with a lot of weddings right now. Another one is the Enchanting Sands. This kind of plays around with pastels and kind of colors, different shades of pink. This is an open-air wedding, uh, surrounded by flowers There's also this open arbor design next to the ceremony that makes it elegant as well as modern. One more wedding design that you could use is the Blissful Beach. Elegant, kind of natural tones, blush colors, soft whites with a little mix of accents of gold. You have this kind of unique triangular ceremonial structure where the wedding takes place right on the beach. So if you're looking for a clean, natural Caribbean kind of palette for the wedding vibe, the Paradise Bloom might be the kind of decor that you're looking for. It's a little modern, it's kind of got a raw beauty to the venue space, so it's kind of going along with the greenery of the lawn, the white flowers., and just bringing in some natural elements to kind of come up with this clean overall color palette. The Sunkissed Skies decor might be perfect. So again, this one has elegant blush pinks and more touches of gold. It's kind of warm and inviting, cozy, intimate atmosphere, kind of romantic as well as dreamy. Just love the flowers for this design package.
