How much it ACTUALLY costs for a destination wedding in Mexico | Guadalajara, Jalisco

I breakdown our wedding costs, everything from the venue to the photographers to my wedding dress and everything in between! We got married in a small town outside of Guadalajara in Jalisco Mexico. Planning a destination wedding while living in California was a challenge but totally worth it. Watch to see what our total cost was and if we actually saved money by having our wedding in Mexico!

DISCLAIMER Weddings are very personal, especially wedding budgets! No, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to have a great wedding :) If you keep your guest list small and the decor minimal you can have a beautiful day for less than the average wedding cost. If you do decide you want a huge wedding with a big party, Mexico might be a great option!!

I made this video to help others who are in the wedding planning process especially if you’re planning to host something in Mexico. Hopefully these transparent numbers helps you get an idea of how much you’d pay for each wedding expense. Leave any additional questions in the comments and let me know how much you spent on your own wedding!

I am also looking to do my wedding in a town outside Guadalajara this was SO helpful!

[@moodymarilyn]

Glad it was useful! Good luck on your wedding ❤️

[@elenarewd9299]

So wild! 250 guests for around $30,000 is a good deal! I’m spending around $40,000 for 60 guests in Washington DC and still not getting everything I want 😩

[@moodymarilyn]

Yes weddings here in the states are crazy expensive for what you can get🥲 but I bet your day will be beautiful regardless

[@mraquel510]

That’s a lot less than what I had imagined!! It was such a beautiful wedding!!

[@moodymarilyn]

Same! And I’m so grateful it was less than I imagined for a big wedding 😂
