Serenity At Coconut Bay Wedding Costs: What Actually Changes the Total Price
Because the resort is all-inclusive, your total wedding cost is shaped mainly by guest count, the ceremony and dinner upgrades you choose, and how many nights your group stays. Here are the biggest levers.
The biggest cost drivers
- Guest count (more guests mean more rooms, meals, and private dining seats)
- Room category (Plunge Pool Butler Suite, Premium Plunge Pool Butler Suite, or Grande Plunge Pool Butler Suite)
- Catamaran ceremony add-ons such as florals, styling, and timing
- Private dining upgrades at The Greathouse, including menus, wine pairings, and décor
- Photography, hair and makeup, and spa services
Smart "value" moves
- Use the all-inclusive plan to your advantage and skip extra food and drink budgeting for included meals
- Put your décor budget into the catamaran ceremony, where a few florals go a long way
- Host the main celebration at The Greathouse and keep the rest of the schedule relaxed
- Pick a room category that suits your group size instead of upgrading for guests who won't use it
- Plan a welcome toast for your closest guests rather than a full second formal event
