I just got engaged and am having a hard time deciding between a “traditional/local” wedding in Milwaukee or a destination wedding (we are thinking Punta Cana or Jamaica). Has anyone had, considered or attended a destination wedding and is willing to offer some advice? One of our main considerations is cost - we estimate a Milwaukee wedding for about 200 people would cost about 20K whereas a destination wedding would cost about 6K. We do realize only a small number of our friends/family would attend if it were destination. My friends/family keep telling me that it is your day you should do what you want. Any thoughts/opinions would be great.
