Wedding season is fast approaching, and so is the stress of balancing budgets. While love is in the air, so are rising costs, especially for those attending destination weddings this year. According to HomeExchange, accommodation represents on average 35% of the cost of a trip, making it one of the most significant expenses when traveling. With travel and gift-giving already factored in, the added cost of accommodation can quickly turn an invitation into a financial burden.
One practical and increasingly popular solution for this challenge is HomeExchange. By allowing travellers to swap homes instead of booking traditional lodging, the platform removes the cost of accommodation altogether. The annual membership provides access to unlimited home exchanges, full member support, and protection against cancellations, property damage or theft.
With a global network of over 200,000 individuals in 155 countries, HomeExchange allows members to swap homes directly or use GuestPoints to arrange stays around the world.
Popular HomeExchange destinations fit for a queen (or bridal party):
Tuscany, Italy: perfect for destination weddings or honeymoons, with romantic vineyards, historic villas, and stunning countryside views.
Banff, Canada: with turquoise lakes and mountain peaks, this is ideal for nature-loving couples seeking a scenic wedding or adventurous honeymoon.
Cancún, Mexico: sun, sea, and vibrant nightlife make it a top spot for bachelorette parties or laid-back honeymoons, especially with private home swaps through HomeExchange.
