Honeymoon Prices...

How much are you all planning to spend on your honeymoon? I need an average cost. Thanks!

Re: Honeymoon Prices...

  • We spent $2500 with airfare. We are going to Couples Tower Isles in Jamaica. Everything is included, but we might do 1 more tour while we are there. We will be there for 6 days.

  • This is a very subjective question.  It will vary based on where you go, for how long, what is included, etc.  You should plan to spend what you can comfortably afford.  We had a smaller wedding so we could have a nicer HM.  In the end we spent about $8K.
  • so far ours is looking to be a little over 5k. were staying at bucuti in aruba
  • We're looking at about $4k for the Dominican Republic
  • We spent 6k.  We are going to Kona Village in Hawaii on the big island.  We used miles for air.  Kona is psuedo all inclusive with all meals and luau's!GL!!
  • We used airmiles for our airfare to our wedding destination (which is in Hawai'i, so comparable to a HM), are paying 300 per night for our 2 bedroom condo, spent about 900$ on a car for almost 3 weeks... then you add in cost of living and playing and I'd say we're at about 6000-8000$ (for 2 weeks).
  • This is very subjective.   I spent over $16k.  But I stayed at a 5 star lodge in South Africa, then up to Amsterdam and Paris.  Airfare alone cost $4k. From what I've seen on this board most people seem to spend between $3-5k.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated. 
  • we are spending just over $5k for airfare and 7 days to Sandals Grande in St Lucia.  We wanted to do a super nice room so we splurged on that piece of it.  Its all-inclusive.

  • we are still looking right now we still have 8 months left til the edding but we are going to try and spend about 2000
  • $5,000 - 14 Night HM in Hawaii (2 islands). This includes airfare from Buffalo, NY, hotel/condo, car rental and inter-island flights.We expect to spend another $2,000 on excursions, food and drinks!It's not the most expensive HM, but it's not cheap for us either. It is a splurge - we will never be able to do this again!
  • we spent about $3200 for an all inclusive, adults only, airfare included, week long honeymoon in Mexico.
  • we are spending around 3,500 for an adult only all inclusive in cancun, six night, in a swim up suite. good luck with your search!
  • We didn't skimp on anything on our honeymoon and ended up spending about $3500.  This seemed like a ton of money to us, but it sounds like it's on the mid/lower end of things for most brides.  We spent 7 nights in St. Martin, btw.  We stayed in the nicest hotel on the French side of the island, rented a car and ate amazing meals every day.  It was the low season, though, so that helped us (the hotel was half the price and we got the 7th night free).
  • We originally budgeted $5000. We ended up only spending $3000 for an AI in Riviera Maya, Mexico.

  • Our HM is costing a little over $14k...but that's for 12 nights in Fiji at an all-inclusive (the only thing we'll be spending money on down there is the spa and souveneirs) with a private beach and private infinity edge pool on a cliff =))...airfare and insurance are both included in that price also.  It really depends on where you go, what time of year u go..and how close to the HM you book.  Airfare goes up and down every single day.

  • we spent over $6k at sandals st. lucia and i now feel a bit ripped off.  St. Lucia was my first time out of teh country so i had nothing to compare it to in terms of pricing etc.  we just got back form costa rica for 10 days - stayed at 3 hotels, ate amazing food, did awesome excursions all for $4k.  The $6k at Sandals ONLY covered airfare, hotel, and room - but excursions etc. were additional.
  • Probably somewhere around $14k for our wedding ceremony (we're eloping)/honeymoon in Fiji.  This includes airfare, transfers, 12 nights at two different 5 star resorts, meals.  Haven't booked yet because that number freaks me out a little, but we're doing a simple at home reception afterwards so we're spending less than a traditional Chicago wedding and a honeymoon would cost us.

  • Thank you all so much for your input! We have a lot ot think about and research! I am hoping to stay in a budget of $5000 - one week minimum - something all inclusive and gorgeous!
  • Have you thought about doing a cruise? I'm looking into a Mediterranean cruise that is for 12 days and will only be about $3,500 including airfair. All meals are included and the only things you have to pay for are booze/excursions/souvenirs. Now a days cruises go EVERYWHERE! Just a suggestion if you're looking to stay on budget!
  • Thanks! We will def have to think about that.
