Feeling like a getaway for you and all of your guests? Check out our picks for some amazing locations that will make for the dreamiest backdrop for your wedding. Here are some reasons we think a destination wedding is a great idea:

  • It's the best idea for those who want to start their honeymoon vibes somewhat earlier. Yes, the stress of the wedding will linger, but what better way to relax than to see waves crashing in Hawaii or lights flashing on the Eiffel Tower?
  • Your guests will love an excuse to visit somewhere new and take time off of their hectic lives and schedules and celebrate something fun.
  • Might save you some money. Depending on the venue and number of guests, your destination wedding might save you from paying for guests who would normally have made it to a local wedding venue. Not that you won't miss them, but often times a destination wedding limits the number of guests attending, thus making everything more intimate and thus cost-effective.
  • Extends 1 day into a few. You prep for a year and it all ends in one day. The destination wedding makes the whole experience last longer. From the rehearsal dinner to a few more nights with friends and family allows you the feeling of a 3-day wedding extravaganza.
