Great Places To Have A Destination Wedding
Hawaii is a popular place for a destination wedding, but if you want something a bit different, you might want to consider a Hawaiian island instead. Hawaii has four main islands, including Maui, Oahu, and Kauai. Each island has a different vibe and character, and they all offer unique experiences for your wedding. Kauai, the Garden Isle, is considered the least developed of the four. Here, life moves at a slower pace. For example, the southern coast of Kauai is perpetually sunny, while Mount Waialeale is the wettest place on earth. The tropical island has endless opportunities for outdoor activities, from surfing to hiking. You can even book a helicopter tour of the island's lush landscape.
Santorini
The best time of year to hold your wedding in Santorini is between May and September. The summers can be hot but they are also windy, so you may want to plan your wedding for the evening to see the sun set. Regardless of your choice, the sun can be a beautiful backdrop for your wedding ceremony and reception. If you are planning a beach wedding, you will want to book a Santorini beach wedding, and you'll find that late May and June are the best months for this type of event.
Cozumel
The stunning Mexican island of Cozumel is the perfect location for your destination wedding. Couples can choose between a casual beach wedding or a grand evening gala. The island offers gorgeous scenery, great beach access, and world-class snorkeling and diving. To legally marry in Cozumel, you must have a valid passport. You will also need to obtain the original birth certificates of both parties. They must also be translated by an authorized translator. Death and divorce decrees may also be needed. For more information, you should contact a Certified Destination Wedding Specialist.
Mexico's Riviera Maya
If you are planning a wedding abroad, the best time to plan it is during the off-season. This will allow you to enjoy the warm weather throughout the year, but it also means that there will be more people around and higher prices. If you are planning a destination wedding in Mexico, however, you should plan it between December and April. During these months, the weather will be warm enough to hold a destination wedding, but you will still be able to enjoy the beaches and other aspects of this beautiful city.
The Dominican Republic
If you're looking for a tropical wedding that's a bit different from what you're used to, consider a wedding in the Dominican Republic. The Caribbean is one of the most romantic places in the world, so you're bound to fall in love with this tropical paradise. There are plenty of stunning venues in the Dominican Republic to choose from, and you can easily find a beach that matches your wedding style. Located on a cliffside overlooking the ocean, the Villa Costa Norte is the perfect place to get married. The venue is secluded, making it ideal for couples looking for an intimate setting.
Aspen
If you are planning a mountain retreat, a destination wedding in Aspen is the perfect option. This mountain town is known for its spectacular beauty, with few clouds and warm temperatures on a daily basis. It also has a plethora of shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. The Aspen Art Museum hosts rotating exhibitions of contemporary art and offers unparalleled views from the rooftop deck. The art museum was designed by a Pritzker Award-winning architect and is surrounded by woven wood-like materials.
New Orleans
If you want your destination wedding to be unique and special, consider holding it in New Orleans. The city is home to a diverse collection of hotels and venues. Many of these are located within walking distance of the venue, and you won't have to worry about transportation. New Orleans is also a convenient location for your guests, with a renovated airport. Plus, Uber makes it easy to get around without renting a car or dealing with public transportation.
