The Best Places For A Destination Wedding

By Ella Hemmings


The day you exchange your wedding vows is sure to be a special moment that you always will cherish. Typically, people are married at a venue close to home, but these days many couples opt to be married at a special location far away. The following locations are some of the best places for a destination wedding.

One of the most popular wedding venues on Earth is the scenic island of Maui. Near-perfect tropical weather, spectacular beaches, lush flora and amazing sunsets are the perfect backdrop for romance. You can opt to be married right on the beach or at a luxury resort, a private plantation, in a historic chapel or even in the midst of a botanical garden.

Another great scenic spot in the United States would be tying the knot in Yosemite National Park. You can be married on a hill overlooking Half Dome or perhaps with Bridalveil Fall as a backdrop. The Ahwahnee Hotel is another popular wedding venue in the park, as well as beautiful Yosemite Chapel. In addition to Yosemite, most National Parks allow weddings, so you just need to choose your favorite park and begin planning.

Another wedding hotspot is Mexico, and this nation offers couples a plethora of beautiful beaches to consider, as well as beach resorts and even unique jungle settings. You can even be married among Mayan ruins. There are popular tourist cities such as Cancun, Acapulco, Cabo San Lucas, Playa del Carmen and many more, but you can also plan a beach wedding in a smaller beach town for a more intimate ceremony.

There is no shortage of great cities and venues in Europe and many are perfect for a wedding. Paris has many beautiful chapels or you could rise above the city and exchange your vows atop the Eiffel Tower. In Italy, Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast are two popular destinations for a romantic wedding. There are also vineyards and wineries in France and in Italy where you can be married. You could even be married in a castle in England, Ireland or Scotland.

The one thing you need to know about destination weddings is that they are quite difficult to plan without a wedding planner. For instance, the Maui wedding planners at Love Maui Weddings can help you with every detail from securing a beach location, finding an officiate, getting flowers, finding a great photographer and much more. They also offer helpful Maui destination wedding packages, and choosing a Maui wedding package can the whole process even easier.
