Wedding Packages at Tropical Deluxe Princess (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.

  • Wedding cake + sparkling wine toast
  • Bouquet + boutonniere (often included in entry packages)
  • Private events can be added (cocktail hour, reception, rehearsal dinner)

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