What Does a Luxury All-Inclusive Wedding in New Smyrna Beach Actually Cost?

Let’s talk honestly.

If you’re planning a New Smyrna Beach wedding, one of the first questions you’re quietly asking is:

“How much is this actually going to cost?”

Florida weddings range widely — and Pinterest doesn’t exactly prepare you for the real numbers.

So today, we’re breaking it down clearly. No fluff. No vague “contact for pricing.” Just real insight into what a luxury all-inclusive wedding in New Smyrna Beach truly looks like.

The Average Cost of a Florida Wedding

In 2026, most Florida weddings fall somewhere between:

$30,000 – $60,000+

Luxury coastal weddings often exceed that.

Why?

Because once you add:

  • Venue

  • Catering

  • Bar

  • Photographer

  • Videographer

  • Florals

  • DJ or band

  • Rentals

  • Cake

  • Planner

  • Hair & makeup

  • Service staff

  • Taxes & service fees

The numbers build quickly.

And that’s before you add custom installations, statement florals, upgraded rentals, or specialty cocktails.

What Couples Don’t Realize About “DIY” Weddings

Many couples initially consider booking a venue and hiring vendors separately.

On the surface, it can seem more affordable.

But here’s what often gets overlooked:

  • Delivery fees for every vendor

  • Multiple rental companies

  • Setup and teardown labor

  • Coordination gaps

  • Overtime fees

  • Service charges stacked individually

The hidden costs add up fast — and so does the stress.

This is why many couples are now searching specifically for an all-inclusive wedding venue in Florida.

What Is an All-Inclusive Wedding in New Smyrna Beach?

A true all-inclusive wedding package typically includes:

  • Venue rental

  • Catering

  • Bar service

  • Coordination

  • Tables, chairs, and basic rentals

  • Setup and teardown

  • Staffing

  • Timeline management

Instead of managing 12 vendors, you’re working with a cohesive team.

That alignment creates smoother timelines, better communication, and an elevated guest experience.

Luxury doesn’t just mean beautiful décor.

Luxury means ease.

Breaking Down a Luxury Wedding Investment in New Smyrna Beach

Let’s walk through realistic numbers for a 150-guest wedding in New Smyrna Beach:

Venue Rental: $7,000 – $10,000
Catering: $70–$100 per guest ($10,500 – $15,000)
Bar Service: $3,000 – $6,000
Photography: $3,000 – $6,000
Florals: $3,000 – $8,000
Entertainment: $1,200 – $4,000
Planner or Coordinator: $1,500 – $5,000

You can quickly see how weddings land in the $40,000+ range.

And this is why couples begin looking for smarter structure — not just cheaper vendors.

So What Does a Luxury All-Inclusive Wedding at The Grand 721 Cost?

At The Grand 721, couples typically invest between:

Mid-$20,000s to low-$40,000s, depending on guest count and customizations.

And here’s what that often includes:

  • Historic 1916 venue rental

  • Full ceremony and reception space

  • Catering

  • Bar service

  • Month-of coordination

  • Tables, chairs, and layout design

  • Setup and breakdown

  • Professional staff onsite all day

  • Private bridal suite access

  • Groom’s lounge

  • White-glove service touches

From first mimosas in the bridal suite to a quiet pour of whiskey before the ceremony — the experience is intentional.

It’s not just a building rental.

It’s a fully orchestrated celebration.

Why All-Inclusive Often Saves Money

When couples compare apples to apples, they often discover:

Bundled services reduce:

  • Rental duplication

  • Vendor miscommunication

  • Overtime fees

  • Timeline mistakes

  • Design inconsistencies

You’re not paying for separate teams to figure it out.

You’re investing in one aligned vision.

And that alignment protects your peace.

Is It Worth It?

That depends on what you value.

If you want:

  • Seamless flow

  • Historic architecture

  • Climate-controlled comfort

  • Downtown walkability

  • Experienced staff

  • A curated guest experience

Then yes — it’s worth it.

Your wedding day happens once.

You shouldn’t spend it fielding vendor calls or worrying about logistics.

You should be present.
