Frequently Asked Questions by Destination Wedding Couples.

1. How much does a destination wedding cost?

Most couples spend $5,000–$25,000 total depending on guest count, décor, private events, and wedding package. Some Couples with small wedding groups may spend less, and larger weddings with private receptions may invest more.

2. Can we get a complimentary wedding?

Yes. Many Resorts offer a complimentary wedding package when the couple books a certain number of room nights or rooms in their group block. Your destination wedding specialist will help determine eligibility.

3. How many guests can attend a Secrets wedding?

Anywhere from 2 guests to 200+. Each resort has unique venues that can accommodate intimate or large events.

4. Can we customize our décor?

Absolutely. Floral arches, custom aisle runners, lighting, dance floors, LED displays, sand ceremonies, and themed décor can be added.

5. Are outside vendors allowed?

Some resorts allow outside photographers, DJs, or décor specialists for a fee. Your wedding specialist will confirm availability and costs.

 6. Is a legal wedding possible?

Yes—civil, symbolic, or religious ceremonies are available. Legal weddings may require additional paperwork.

8. What is the best time of year to get married?

November–June offers the best weather. Summer and fall are still beautiful but can have seasonal rain.

  • Choose the right resort for your wedding style and budget
  • Lock in your wedding date early
