  • Appetizer station with a section of three options 
  • Food display with a choice of cuisine options

Are the wedding events interchangeable?

Some of our couples ask if they can mix up the events slightly. They usually ask if, for example, they can add the “credit” of the welcome cocktail party to the wedding reception for an extended reception event. The answer will depend on your chosen specific resort and working with your wedding designer on your overall plan.

The overall cost of your destination wedding depends on the number of guests you have and the day of the week that you select for your destination wedding. 

Additionally, in the past, the Beyond Memorable package was standard across all Dreams, Secrets, and Breathless resorts, but moving forward, resorts are starting to customize their offering further. 

Note that this pricing is subject to change but can at least give you an estimate for planning your destination wedding. 

For 50- 79 guests

  • $10,900 – Monday – Wednesday
  • $11,199 – Thursday – Sunday

For 80-100 guests

  • $14,499 – Monday – Wednesday

What are the terms of the Beyond Memorable package?

The critical thing to remember about the Beyond Memorable wedding package is to purchase it at least one year before your wedding date. 

It may seem like a long time, but we recommend you plan a year in advance to give you time to get it right and take any stress out of the wedding planning process.
