Market Growth Factors

More people want destination weddings as a reason for growth in the global destination wedding industry. The couple weds in exotic locations such as tropical beaches or old castles. The local culture and wedding themes combine in a way that makes sense somewhere else. These trends toward individuality also contributed to demanding unique wedding ceremonies for focusing on personal expression.

The social media sites Instagram and Pinterest fulfill this role as the white pages of the internet where couples can share wedding ideas globally, view beautiful photos and videos, and testimonials of other couples. These sites inspire and raise expectations by making couples want to have a destination wedding, which organically places destinations and venues around the world in the limelight.

Another main factor for the growth of the wedding market is the bundling of wedding packages on an all-inclusive basis. Packages make the planning process simple because they include accommodations, catering, decoration, and event coordination if the venue is located far from the couple's home. Packages are generally cheaper than customary weddings, since couples typically have smaller guest lists. These weddings incur less expense as fewer friends or family are available to participate in pre- and post-wedding activities.
