All Inclusive wedding packages- worth it?

We are considering a destination wedding and like the all inclusive pre- designed wedding packages like at sandals/beaches and hard rock resorts. Can you think of any other resorts in the Caribbean that offers these types of packages (decor for ceremony/reception, linens, flowers, cake, centrepieces, photographer, videographer,etc)?

Are these packages worth it or are they all generally the same throughout all-inclusive resorts?

I would like to get the best value for money in terms of services, wedding packages and

amenities for guest. If we go for a dw I would like to keep costs down for guests and have a resort they'd be excited to go to ( alcohol included, golf, salon for bridal updo and casino)

suggestions!?!?!?!?!

My best advice to you is to not go through an all inclusive package. You will end up paying for things you don't need or want. You also won't have the freedom of picking quality vendors. Just hire a wedding planner and you will save money.

I'm doing it because I don't know vendors in my town. I get major anxiety about finding the right balance between cost and quality, and constantly second guess myself on if I did enough research.
So I found a venue that had everything I needed. They had a package that offered what i needed without a bunch of extras. Sure, some things may not be the BEST balance between price and quality, but I saved myself a huge headache. I have had to pick my photographer, officiant, and makeup person...that solidified my decision lol. I didn't want to meet 5 caterers, florists, yada yada. My venue has about everything I need, and a wonderful coordinator. So for me, well worth it.
