How to Plan a Honeymoon to Los Angeles on a Budget

If you are staying within the United States for your honeymoon, Los Angeles can be a terrific honeymoon destination. With beaches, resorts, shopping and Hollywood attractions, there is plenty to do in Los Angeles. Though it can be expensive, it is not impossible to plan a honeymoon to Los Angeles on a budget.

Things You'll Need

• Flexibility
• Airline and hotel reservations

Instructions

1. Call Southwest Vacations at [phone]. Southwest Vacations teams up with local hotels and attractions to offer a package price on vacations in Los Angeles. Southwest Vacations can set up your hotel, airfare and tickets to places like Disneyland and Universal Studios. If you are flexible about your dates, it will be easy to find nice hotel accommodations when honeymooning on a budget.

2. Stay 3 or 4 days. If you stay in Los Angeles for just a few days and avoid the weekend hotel rates, you will save a lot of money on your honeymoon. Arrive Sunday through Thursday, and it will be much easier to stick to your honeymoon budget.

3. Locate free events. Visit the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the Hollywood sign, Santa Monica beach and several other places in the Los Angeles area that do not charge admission. Also, look for gallery openings and free concerts, which are plentiful in Los Angeles.

4. Consider using a honeymoon registry. Wedding Solutions is one of the many places where you can register for a Los Angeles honeymoon. The company contracts with certain hotels in the area and you can have your friends and family contribute to the honeymoon packages rather than buying wedding gifts.

5. Look for promo codes. Airlines and rental car companies offer promotional codes, which give you considerable discounts. Also mention any affiliations you belong to when booking your trip. AAA members, Diners Club members and even Wal-Mart shoppers can receive discounted rates.

Tips & Warnings

• Be flexible. Let the travel agent or booking company locate the lowest available rates. If you need to switch planes two times or leave at 5:00 a.m., be flexible to doing that in order to receive substantial savings.

• Do not book your honeymoon near any major holidays when hotel and airline rates are astronomical.
