Wedding Packages at Princess Family Club Bavaro (What They Typically Include)
Most all-inclusive destination weddings run through a set of package tiers (often with names like Weddings in Paradise, Eternal Love, and Beyond Memorable) that can be customized with upgrades for décor, florals, private events, and additional guests.

- Symbolic ceremony setup (venue + seating + basic décor)
- Wedding cake + sparkling wine toast
- Bouquet + boutonniere (often included in entry packages)

- Décor: statement arch/florals, aisle styling, lounge furniture
- Food: plated dinner vs. buffet, upgraded menu/wine packages

Princess Family Club Bavaro Wedding Costs: What Actually Changes the Total Price
Destination wedding totals vary widely because they're driven by guest count, private event choices, and upgrades for food, bar, décor, and entertainment. Here are the biggest levers that impact cost the most:
The biggest cost drivers
- Guest count (more people usually means larger private events + more food/beverage)
- Reception style (plated vs. buffet, upgraded menus, specialty bars)
- Venue choice (beach vs. garden vs. gazebo changes setup needs)
- Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
- Entertainment (DJ, dance floor, performers, late-night add-ons)
Smart "value" moves
- Spend on ceremony focal points (arch + aisle) and keep table décor simpler
- Pick one "hero moment" venue: Beach Venue for classic vows or Gazebo Venue for structured photos
- Use the Garden Venue for natural shade if your ceremony is earlier in the day
