Destination Wedding

It's absolutely possible to get married for $10k considering the only actual requirements are a license and officiant. Everything else is icing.

But whether you and your future spouse can have the wedding you both want for that price depends on way too many factors to determine without more information. When making your decision, just remember that destination weddings tend to cost the couple less because the guests are bearing more of the financial burden.

View Quoted Comment Maggie is spot on with destination weddings costing the couple less and guests more. When considering, you might also want to think about if your VIPs are financially and physically able to travel, unless you're okay with some not attending.

You definitely can use 10k and it be enough for the wedding. Would you be paying for your guests rooms or will it be at their own expense?

View Quoted Comment Thank you Shirley and Maggie for replying back! We have already mentioned the destination wedding idea to our close friends who are onboard. We also have 7 kids between the two of us, so they will definitely be coming! And probably his ex wife, too. I'm fine with making up our own music list and renting a mic and speaker system. And I have someone who can take pictures. The brunt of the cost would be catering, drinks and, of course, the venue and setting up places for family and friends to stay. We were thinking of either Sanibel/Captiva or going abroad.

View Quoted Comment If you get married in the off-season, you could really be in a good position. 10k is plenty

View Quoted Comment It'd prob be at their own expense since they'd prob be staying for a mini vacation themselves. If we could fit the wedding night stay into the budget, we would def do that!

Well if you aren't paying for your guest than it is definitely doable!
