Royalton Grenada 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

- Reception style (plated vs. buffet, upgraded menus, specialty bars)
- Venue choice (beach/garden vs. terrace vs. ballroom changes setup and AV needs)
- Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
- Entertainment (DJ, steel drum band, dance floor, performers)
Smart "value" moves
- Spend on ceremony focal points (Beach Gazebo arch + aisle) and keep table décor simpler
- Pick one "hero moment" venue: Beach Gazebo for iconic vows or Ocean Terrace for sunset photos
- Use natural island elements (tropical florals, driftwood, palm fronds) to keep décor budgets down
- Choose a venue that already matches your vibe so you don't overpay on décor
