Destination weddings have almost become the new normal.

It is not uncommon for a couple to consider this option after getting engaged, and it's a great one to consider!

If your clients enjoy traveling, a destination wedding could mean having the wedding of their dreams. There may be a location in mind that they both love, or maybe they like the idea of reciting their vows somewhere new. No matter what the circumstances are, a destination wedding can benefit your clients in many different ways.

Couples Resorts offers a number of different wedding packages at each of their four resorts in Jamaica-one of which might be the perfect fit for your clients.

Vacation with Your Loved Ones

Think of your last vacation. Now think of your last vacation with all of your closest friends and family with you.

Having a destination wedding allows for your clients to be on vacation with all their loved ones at the same time. They are not only in an exciting destination, but they have their favorite people there to share the moment with.

Save Money

Having a destination wedding can save your clients money. In most cases, it is cheaper than having a standard wedding at home. You don't have to waste time adding up the costs of meals, decorations, cake and so on-most destination wedding locations have a packaged deal for everything needed at a reasonable cost.

Wedding and Honeymoon in One

No need to plan two trips. Your clients can choose to either stay at the resort after their guests leave or move to another location.

For example, if they are getting married at Couples Swept Away, they can jump over to Couples Negril or even head to Ocho Rios to stay at either Couples Tower Isle or Couples Sans Souci for the honeymoon.

Longer Celebration

Typical weddings are only a one-day celebration, and after a morning of getting glamorous, the bride and groom are really only with their guests for part of a day. Having a destination wedding allows for your clients to spend a few days celebrating this special time.

Whether it's a four-day trip or a seven-day trip, your clients can celebrate with one day at the pool, one day on a group excursion and one day at the spa day all in one trip! The photographer will not only have photos of your clients walking down the aisle but of all the moments spent with friends and family throughout the week.

More Intimate

A destination wedding is perfect for couples who prefer a smaller, more intimate ceremony and celebration. Also, it's a great way to narrow down the guest list.

If your clients are overwhelmed with everyone they feel they need to invite, having a destination wedding is a perfect way to allow them to trim down who they are inviting and share the moment with just a handful of loved ones.


In addition to your clients having the wedding of their dreams, you'll have some extra change in your pocket. For every 10 rooms booked at Couples Resorts, you'll receive a $500 Visa Gift Card. For only five rooms, you will still receive a $250 reward.
