Article courtesy of AA Vacations (Claire Varrelmann, 972.830.2896)

Half a million couples will celebrate a destination wedding this year while 55 percent of couples have considered eloping because wedding plans have gotten out of hand! A four-day wedding weekend can cost less than a meal and reception for 150-200 people at a luxury hotel in New York.

Popular Places for Destination Weddings are...

Some of the leading destinations for weddings are:

  • Las Vegas, 100,000 weddings performed annually
  • Hawaii, 20,000 weddings performed annually
  • U.S. Virgin Islands, 5,100 weddings performed annually
  • Jamaica, 5,000 weddings performed annually
  • Bahamas, 4,000 weddings performed annually
  • More locally in the New York, Conneticut, and New Jersey area the most popular place for destination weddings is the New Jersey Shore.

    The proper destination etiquette of a wedding generally calls for invited guests to pay their own airfare, while the bride and groom pick up the tab for the lodging, food, and beverages at an all-inclusive resort - but couples can now find alternatives to offer their guests discounts on hotels and flights.

    Destination Wedding Tips

    Below are some tips and resources that are sure to help couples plan a great destination wedding:

  • Remember to ask for hotel discounts for you and your guests - many times hotels will give discounts when you reserve a block of rooms at a time.
  • Look for generous wedding packages - American Airlines Vacations has developed a unique wedding travel package that offers up to 10 percent off published air fares, plus complimentary wedding invitations inserts to inform out-of-town guests of the discount. These special discounts are available when 10 or more out-of-town guests travel to a wedding. For more information try the Web site www.AAvacations.com
  • For Brides Only: American Airlines offers a special wedding service desk (800) 545-8193.
  • American Airline's Web site, AA.com, offers special wedding packages to Vegas, including photography, music for the service, a wedding coordinator and flowers.

  • Use flight status notification via voice or text messaging so loved ones have an easier time picking you up from the airport.
  • Make sure you know the legalities if you are planning a destination, especially if it out of the country.
  • If you plan on having a destination wedding honeymoon vacation, try to visit the destination once to finalize any details and to help you anticipate any potential problems.
