Destination Guides For The Best Wedding Locations in the World

Ask any couple, and they’ll tell you that choosing a destination wedding location is not only the first important decision you’ll make – it’s also the most stressful.

Everyone’s different, so it’s impossible to single out just one place as the absolute best destination for weddings. But there is a spot out there that is perfect for YOU. And I’ll help you find it.

You might be dreaming of a barefoot ceremony on a white-sand beach, or perhaps you just want the ocean view without ever having to set foot in the sand. Maybe you want something completely out of the ordinary like waterfalls, mountains or even an erupting volcano as your backdrop. Do you want all-inclusive luxury or a rustic setting?

To help get you started, I’ve compiled guides to some of the most popular wedding destinations around the world. When you click on one the wedding destination guides below, you’ll find information such as marriage requirement, planning advice, real weddings, featured vendors and more!

These guides have a nice mix of everything. Some of these you’ve heard of and some you’ve probably never considered. Choose a destination below to get started on your journey!
