My fiancee really wants to have a destination wedding. I have been looking into this some and see some good points. The invitees are spread all over the country so almost everybody will have to fly anyways. Therefore there is really no location in the US which is all that convenient. I have also seen that wedding reception prices seem to be as low or lower than I would expect in Chicago or even the suburbs.
One thing that really concerns me is the airfare and hotel cost. You can fly to Chicago from almost everywhere for $200. I'm thinking that will not be true anywhere in the caribbean or hawaii. Also most likely many of those flights will involve connections.
So, I'm thinking of places that will have reasonable priced flights, reasonable convenience and nice beaches. So far I think the leading candidate in Cancun. A lot of flights. However I am still seeing that booking now for dec. yields 400-500 fares from most of the US. even IAH was 425. I think that we are asking people for a lot at those prices. I guess SJU might be another option, but for some reason it does not appeal to me all that much.
