Secrets Mirabel 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:

- Reception style (plated vs. buffet, upgraded menus, specialty bars)
- Venue choice (terrace/pool vs. ballroom changes setup and AV needs)
- Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
- Entertainment (DJ, live music, dance floor, late-night add-ons)
Smart "value" moves
- Spend on ceremony focal points (arch + aisle) and keep table décor simpler
- Pick one "hero moment" venue: Sky Bar for rooftop sunset or Beach for classic beachfront vows
- Use the Nizuc Foyer for a polished welcome cocktail instead of a full second formal event
- Choose a venue that already matches your vibe so you don't overpay on décor
- Use ambient lighting (candles/lanterns/uplighting) to elevate reception photos at lower cost
