Following high-profile destination weddings like Dua Lipa and Callum Turner’s recent celebration in Sicily, an increasing number of couples are exploring affordable options for hosting nuptials abroad. Several travel operators and cruise lines now offer comprehensive wedding packages designed to simplify planning and reduce costs for couples seeking to combine their ceremony with a honeymoon in exotic locations.

Tropical Sky, a prominent provider, organizes weddings in destinations such as the Maldives, Seychelles, and Thailand. Their packages aim to streamline arrangements by bundling the wedding and honeymoon into a single experience. Depending on the resort, guests may receive added perks including complimentary wedding cakes and room upgrades. For example, couples booking a seven-night all-inclusive stay at the 4-star Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa in St Lucia by June 30 can access savings of up to £1,800 per person, along with free wedding services. Group bookings between five and nine rooms are eligible for a 10% discount. Prices start around £1,849 per person, based on occupancy for up to four guests.

TUI, recognized as the top provider for weddings and honeymoons at the British Travel Awards last year, offers events at over 200 venues across 18 warm-weather destinations. Their portfolio includes castles, yachts, and luxury hotels, with Cyprus’s Sensatori Atlantica Aphrodite Hills among the most popular venues. Wedding packages at this location typically start at £4,439 and include a dedicated wedding coordinator, ceremony setup, bridal bouquet and buttonhole, wedding cake and celebratory drinks, photographic options, reception arrangements, legal guidance, and accommodations.

For couples interested in maritime ceremonies, Princess Cruises provides wedding packages aboard its ships, accommodating the couple and up to two guests starting at £2,606. The package features a captain-led ceremony, fresh flowers, wedding cake, sparkling wine toast, photography, a romantic breakfast, gifts, and a keepsake certificate. For larger groups of up to 18 guests, packages begin at £4,842 and include additional elements such as live music and cocktails. These services are offered in addition to the standard cruise fare. Among the itineraries, the seven-day Western Caribbean cruise aboard Star Princess departs Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in February and includes stops in Honduras, Belize, and Mexico, with fares beginning at £649 per person.

Jet2 also offers a range of wedding packages, starting with a Classic option from £1,650 covering ceremony planning, legal documentation assistance, and floral arrangements. The Deluxe package, priced from £2,299, adds hair and makeup services and flowers for two guests. Their Ultimate package, starting at £4,250, includes a private reception venue, a three-course meal, and a DJ. Wedding destinations encompass Cyprus, Zante, Crete, and Rhodes. A weeklong bed-and-breakfast stay at the 4-star Venus Hotel and Suites in Zante, including flights from Newcastle, is available from £759 per person for departures in May 2027.

These packages present cost-effective alternatives to traditional weddings, which can frequently exceed £20,000 domestically, by combining ceremony, accommodation, and travel in carefully coordinated offerings.
