The trip must be booked with Mariage Sud to qualify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Passion \u2014 $449 + taxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our main planning package: initial consultation, resort selection, reservation of the ceremony date, location and time, assistance selecting a private reception or semi-private dinner, a complete planning meeting before departure, assistance selecting flowers, menus and decorations, and advice regarding photography, hair and makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">L\u2019Intime \u2014 $499 + taxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Designed for a wedding for two: symbolic ceremony, 2 hours of planning consultation, resort selection, reservation of the ceremony, selection of decorations, arches and celebration locations, flower selection, hair, makeup, manicure, pedicure and spa reservations, and photo and video package reservations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pour le Meilleur et pour le Sud \u2014 $529 + taxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All Passion package services, plus two additional one-hour appointments with your specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00c9ternel \u2014 $1,400 + taxes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our highest level of assistance: the services of the Passion and Pour le Meilleur et pour le Sud packages, plus assistance from a member of our team at destination, subject to availability, from the departure airport through the end of your wedding evening, with a bilingual French- and English-speaking team member.

Others want to delegate much more of the process or have someone accompany them at destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tell us about your wedding, your group and the level of assistance you are looking for. We will help you select the package that genuinely fits your wedding and the way you want to plan it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Intimate wedding or large celebration: the budget is yours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A destination wedding can be remarkably simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may choose an intimate wedding for two, celebrate with a small group of family and friends, or organize an entire week of celebrations for a large group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You therefore do not need to know your exact budget before speaking with us. A good place to start is simply to tell us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your approximate budget<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Expected number of guests<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Preferred dates<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Departure city<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Destinations you are considering<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The type of wedding you envision<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can then search for destinations and resorts that genuinely fit your plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why request a quote?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the advertised price of a wedding package only tells part of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A resort advertising a &#8220;free wedding&#8221; may have a higher travel price. Another resort may charge for its wedding package while offering an excellent group rate or significantly more inclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our role is to look at the complete wedding project, not simply the ceremony price. We can compare:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Travel costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wedding package pricing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inclusions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Group benefits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Necessary extras<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Resort conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ceremony options<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Estimated overall cost<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let\u2019s talk about your budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to have every detail of your wedding figured out before contacting us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply tell us what you have in mind, approximately how many people may attend and the budget you would like to respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We can then show you what is realistically possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<section\n  class=\"cta-banner aligndefault\"\n  aria-labelledby=\"cta-banner-title-1\"  >\n\n  \n    \n    <div class=\"cta-banner__inner\">\n      <div class=\"cta-banner__headline\">\n\n                  <h2 class=\"cta-banner__title\" id=\"cta-banner-title-1\">\n                          <span class=\"cta-banner__title-line\">Request your destination wedding quote.<\/span>\n                      <\/h2>\n        \n        \n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n  \n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is no single price for a destination wedding.
