How Common are Destination Weddings?

Recent statistics show that Destination weddings account for over 16% of all weddings and that more than half of the wedding couples pay for the wedding themselves.  The weddings couples that have Destination weddings, on average, are about 5 years older than the average couple getting married.

These are incredibly memorable events and average about 50 attendees.  These are memories that all participate in and are generally more relaxing and less stressful.  But these events do have many moving parts and most rely on professional travel consultants to make and manage the arrangements.

With weather being a key factor in selecting your Destination wedding location, you can see why the top locations last year were Las Vegas, Hawaii, U.S. Virgin Islands, Jamaica, Bahamas, Mexico and Florida.
