In 2024,&nbsp;nearly one-in-five couples opted to hold their nuptials at a distant locale, according to The Knot\u2019s 2025 Real Weddings Study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKids are getting married later, and they have their own ideas about how they want to do that,\u201d says Angie O\u2019Leary, head of Wealth Strategies and Solutions at RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. \u201cMany of them are choosing destination weddings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/wedding-finances-how-to-pay-for-your-childs-big-day\">parents who plan to pay for their child\u2019s big day<\/a>, it\u2019s important to include that goal in your wealth planning, says Cyndy Ranzau, a wealth strategist at RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWeddings of any type can be costly, but destination weddings have the potential to be even more so,\u201d she says. \u201cParents need a plan for how they\u2019ll finance these events, so they don\u2019t jeopardize their own retirement savings goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cost-considerations-for-destination-weddings\">Cost considerations for destination weddings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to The Knot, the average international destination wedding cost $41,000 in 2024, compared to $32,000 for a hometown wedding. Factors like location and season can impact cost, but a major reason for the larger price tag is that the logistics of a destination wedding are typically more complex than those of a local event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, a traditional marriage celebration might include a rehearsal dinner for the immediate family, followed by the ceremony and a reception held somewhere like a country club, Ranzau says. There are usually only a few events, and the whole thing starts and ends within a couple of days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But for a destination wedding, people will likely want, or need, to stay at the distant location for a longer period because of the travel involved. That, in turn, could mean you need to provide more entertainment options for guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re now possibly paying for four or five events,\u201d Ranzau says. \u201cAnd, when people are traveling a long way, they\u2019ll expect to be included in most, if not all, of them.\u201d That can mean paying for every guest to attend the rehearsal dinner, plus hosting a welcome cocktail party, the after-ceremony reception, and a brunch the next morning. Calculating the actual cost of a destination wedding requires pricing each event separately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the costs of the actual wedding events, it\u2019s also important to factor in the cost of travel\u2014both financial and otherwise\u2014when planning a destination wedding. For example, some guests may not be able to take time away from work. Or, they just may not be able to afford the travel or accommodations associated with the wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour child will have to accept that some people won\u2019t have the means to come to their destination wedding,\u201d Ranzau says. \u201cBut if you have close relatives who you want to come, and they aren\u2019t able to afford the trip, then do you feel responsible for getting them there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, parents may end up paying for some guests to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-pay-for-a-destination-wedding\">How to pay for a destination wedding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to O\u2019Leary, there are two places parents should never take money from to fund their child\u2019s wedding\u2014their home and assets intended to pay for retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA child\u2019s wedding is a major expense that needs to be built into the parents\u2019 overall wealth plan, just like&nbsp;paying for college,\u201d O\u2019Leary says. And even for high-net-worth individuals who can easily afford the costs, specific financing choices still need to be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those with after-tax cash income may be able to cover the cost out of their current resources. However, sometimes available cash comes in larger chunks rather than a steady stream. For example, a profit share or bonus may be paid just once a year. \u201cMaybe you would rather not liquidate assets today, but you know you have money coming in a few months,\u201d says Fred Rose, head of Banking and Lending at RBC Wealth Management\u2013U.S. \u201cThat\u2019s where you may want to consider a securities-based loan, where you borrow against the value of your portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A temporary loan of this type would give you access to cash immediately for wedding expenses and allow your long-term capital to remain invested without interruption. It\u2019s a sort of have-your-wedding-cake-and-eat-it-too scenario that can be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-us\/insights\/five-steps-to-personal-wealth-planning\">mapped out in your wealth plan<\/a> ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A destination wedding is sure to create lasting memories, but these events present special financial considerations, even for high-net-worth individuals. When it comes to paying for a child\u2019s destination wedding, having a plan for these additional factors can help make sure the day goes off without a hitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was updated in May 2025.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Luxury destination weddings can create lasting memories, but they also present unique planning challenges, especially when it comes to finances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":8978,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"rbcwm_post_date":"","editor_notices":[],"rbc_url_alias":"","rbcwm_featured_desktop_image_position":"","rbcwm_featured_mobile_image_position":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[380,164,381],"rbcwm_content_owner":[],"rbcwm_need":[466,462,463],"rbcwm_segment":[460],"rbcwm_solution":[465],"rbcwm_topic":[464],"rbcwm_channel":[],"rbcwm_format":[],"class_list":["post-3565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wealth-planning","tag-destination-wedding","tag-wealth-planning","tag-wedding-costs","rbcwm_need-grow","rbcwm_need-live","rbcwm_need-protect","rbcwm_segment-individuals-and-families","rbcwm_solution-wealth-planning","rbcwm_topic-your-wealth"],"acf":{"rbcwm_subtitle":"Luxury destination weddings can create lasting memories, but they also present unique planning challenges, especially when it comes to finances.","rbcwm_post_author":"","rbcwm_custom_breadcrumb_text":"","rbcwm_custom_breadcrumb_link_url":"","rbcwm_disclaimers":{"add_disclosures":"","perspective_disclaimer":"","expandable":"","omit_from_pages":[],"disclaimer_footnote":"Securities-based loans involve special risks and are not suitable for everyone.
