This blog will provide an overview of everything you should consider including in your wedding package. From catering and entertainment to décor and photography, we’ll explain everything. So read on for all the details!

1. Venue Rental

Choosing the perfect wedding venue is a vital decision you’ll make for your big day. You want to ensure that the space will accommodate all of your guests, provide a beautiful backdrop for photos, and fit with the theme of your wedding.

Finding a venue that offers packages so that all your needs are taken care of in one fell swoop is also essential.

When shopping around for the perfect wedding venue, ask questions and compare packages until you find one that meets your needs.

2. Catering

Regarding catering, you want to ensure your wedding package includes everything necessary for a delicious meal. Depending on the size of your wedding, you may need to hire a professional caterer or provide the food yourself.

If you hire a professional, check their portfolio and references before making a final decision.

When considering what types of food to serve, consider your guest’s dietary restrictions and any special requests. Additionally, it is essential to discuss beverage options with your caterer. Will they be providing beer, wine, or liquor? If so, make sure they know any legal requirements regarding alcohol service.

3. Flowers

When it comes to wedding flowers, you have a lot of choices, from the bridal bouquet and boutonnieres to the centrepieces. Flowers are always an essential part of the decor at any wedding.

Before you decide on a flower arrangement, ask your florist what’s available in your area, what’s in season, and how much it will cost. You can even choose faux flowers if you prefer a more sustainable option. Be sure to add extra petals or garlands for the aisle and around the ceremony area and petals for the bride and groom’s exit.

4. Decorations

In wedding decorations, the possibilities are endless. You can go minimalistic with a few elegant pieces or go all out with a themed extravaganza. Whatever your style and budget, there are plenty of options to make your day unique. Consider lighting as a critical feature for a destination wedding. It is inexpensive and has an incredible wow quality when setting up a reception around a pool or the beach.

When planning your decorations, start by creating a list of the items you need, such as chair covers and sashes, tablecloths and runners, centrepieces, ceiling décor, aisle décor, wall décor, lighting, and flower arrangements. Once you have your list, begin shopping for decorations that fit your theme and budget. Destination weddings keep décor very simple. Ceremony times are pretty short, so there is no need to go all out with flower décor during your destination wedding ceremony. However, a simple bow on every third chair brings in some colour. You are making for simplistic beauty.

Consider renting from a local vendor or purchasing pre-made packages from retailers to save money on decorations. This will help you cut costs without sacrificing quality. No matter what decorations you choose, make sure that they create a cohesive look that ties into the overall theme of your wedding. Then, with the right embellishments, you can create an atmosphere that will make your wedding a memorable event for years to come.

5. Music

Music is integral to any wedding, setting the tone and creating a unique atmosphere for your guests. Your wedding package should include a music selection to suit all tastes, from classical to contemporary and everything in between. Whether you are opting for a live band or a DJ, ensure that your chosen supplier has the right equipment and enough expertise to keep the music flowing throughout the day and night. You can bring your music and rent an on-property iPod if you like. That is very popular these days at destination weddings.

For added ambience, why ask your wedding package provider to include special touches such as a string quartet during the ceremony, background music during the meal, and uplifting tunes for the evening reception?

If you’re going for a classic traditional wedding, consider hiring a harpist or bagpiper to provide music that will be remembered by all who attend. Alternatively, if you’re looking for something more contemporary, work with your wedding package provider to hire a live DJ who can play all the latest songs. Or how about a mariachi band? That is a truly original way to get your Mexican destination wedding off to the best start!

6. Photography

Finding a reliable photographer is an essential part of any wedding package. Your wedding photographs will be something you look back on to cherish for years to come. So it is vital to hire a photographer with a style that speaks to you and captures all the critical moments of your special day. There are so many local and fantastic wedding photographers in Mexico to choose from. Always consider a photographer that knows the resort you are getting married at well. It does make a difference!

Look for professionals who specialize in wedding photography, and make sure to ask for sample portfolios. Also, ask about pricing and packages, as some photographers offer full-day coverage while others charge by the hour.

7. Videography

For many couples, capturing their wedding day on video is essential. As part of your wedding package, you’ll need to hire a professional videographer. Many local and amazingly talented photographers work for hand and hand with local videographers. This can not only create savings for you. But by working together, they can help bring your wedding to life.

You’ll want someone experienced in filming and editing weddings. So you can trust that the final product will capture the beauty and emotion of your big day.

Before you book your videographer, ensure you know what services they provide and what is included in the package. For example, do they offer multiple camera angles or just one? Will they shoot all day or just the ceremony and speeches? What kind of editing services do they offer? You’ll also want to review the videographer’s portfolio and ensure that their style matches your vision for your wedding video.

8. Wedding Cake

The wedding cake is among the most critical elements of any wedding package. The right cake can add a unique and memorable touch to your big day. So it’s vital to ensure you have the perfect cake for your special occasion. The all-inclusive resorts have many cake options—so many colours and styles. Consider your surroundings when choosing a cake style and colour. For example, blue sand beaches make for lovely cake add on’s.

When selecting a cake for your wedding, consider the flavour, design, and size. Ask your baker about options for customizable features such as icing, decorations, and toppers. If your budget allows, you may opt for more than one cake in different sizes and flavours to please all of your guests.

9. Invitations

Invitations are a critical part of any wedding package. They give your guests the first impression of the wedding and let them know when and where it’s taking place. In addition, they should include all the details about the wedding, from the couple’s names to the date, time, and location.

10. Thank You Cards

Thank you cards are great for appreciation to your wedding guests for being a part of your special day. They are also an excellent way to keep the memories of your wedding alive long after it’s over. Remember to include thank you cards when considering what to include in your wedding package!
