Top 10 Destination Wedding Locations

Many people have dreamt of a fairytale wedding in an exotic locale, but there are many different ideas of what this means. That’s why we’ve broken down the top destination wedding spots by their appeal.

Tropical

Tropical weddings are what most people think of when they imagine a destination wedding. Bright sun, sparkling beaches, and lush vegetation all make a gorgeous backdrop to your special day.

Cancun, Mexico

As our neighbor to the south, Mexico is the number one pick for destination weddings. With its resorts carved out of the jungle, Cancun has wonderful options that will let you get the perfect look and feel of a tropical destination. And it’s all available for a reasonable cost. For your Cancun honeymoon, you can stay on the beach or strike off into the jungle in search of Mayan ruins. Other possible destinations in Mexico include Puerto Vallarta and Cozumel.

Hawaii

Hawaii has so many options for a gorgeous destination, and it’s still in the United States. If you want the traditional resort wedding, Oahu is great. For more upscale resorts, Maui is for you. For lush jungles, consider Kauai, and for rugged, untamed beauty, the Big Island of Hawaii itself. No matter what your taste, you can find a piece of it here.

Aruba

Aruba is a beautiful island, but it’s got another benefit as a tropical destination: it’s outside the hurricane belt and it’s very dry, so the weather is very reliable. Tired of trying to guess Colorado’s risky weather? I can tell you the forecast for tomorrow in Aruba: sunny and warm.

Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is a great destination wedding spot because you can pick from beautiful beaches, colonial fortresses, or jungle as the backdrop for your wedding. People speak English and are friendly to Americans—after all, many want to become one someday.

Cultural

If you’re looking for a more intellectual wedding destination, where there’s food not just for the eye but for the mind as well, then you’re looking for a cultural destination. The beauty here is at least partly manmade, and it includes a lot of things to do as well as see.

Paris

Paris is synonymous with love, and it’s one of the most popular destination wedding spots in the world. The city looks the part of a sublime getaway where a person can find an endless love, and your guests won’t want for ways to occupy their time with sightseeing.

New York

The cultural heart of America, New York offers many grand visual spectacles and beautiful spots for your wedding. And the city is full of many things to do, from visiting the beautiful and awesome public library to seeing a ballet.

Florence

In the heart of Italy’s sunny Tuscany, Florence is a great destination for art and architecture lovers. With some of the most beautiful art galleries and grandest cathedrals in the world (not to mention some of the best gelato), Florence is a great draw for art lovers. And if you want to move out into the countryside, there are many Tuscan villas that can be rented for a wedding at a reasonable price.

Fun

If you’re looking for a lighthearted wedding experience, there are many great places you can go for your wedding.

Las Vegas

Although Vegas is associated with the drive-through wedding chapels, it’s actually a place that knows how to do weddings right, too. With casinos and resorts to match any wedding theme you want (though, sadly, the Star Trek wedding chapel has closed), you can just let yourself sink into the fantasy world that Las Vegas creates.

Disneyland or Disneyworld

Speaking of fantasy worlds, why not get married at Disneyland or Disneyworld? Both offer fantastic wedding venues hosted by some of your favorite characters. And they let you and your wedding party show how truly young at heart you are. Get married, then take a ride on Space Mountain (or even Splash Mountain) in your wedding dress.

Cruise

Who said your destination wedding has to be in a single destination? A cruise is a moveable party that can take you to many tropical destinations so you can enjoy a different one every day. And with so many activities to engage you and your guests, this is a wonderful choice for fun.

On the other hand, these all make great honeymoon destinations. If you are looking for a Denver wedding venue before jetting off to your honeymoon location, please contact Stonebrook Manor today for a tour of our Victorian manor and grounds.
