The Most Stunning Destination Wedding Locations Worldwide

Introduction

Couples want their wedding night to be magical and out of this world. But since weddings on the moon are not possible yet, having them on a beach or tropical resort can be a close second. There are plenty of beautiful locations worldwide that can make for a picturesque wedding, making it an event worth remembering. 

Of course, you don’t just want to choose a location because it looks good; the location should also reflect the personalities of the bride and groom. Or better yet, it can be a visual representation of their union. Destination weddings can even help limit the guest list without having that awkward conversation with office friends about why you couldn’t invite them. It also doesn’t hurt that a destination wedding allows the newlyweds to get right into their honeymoon.

The Best places for a destination wedding

A destination wedding can be a visual representation of the bond that the couple shares, or it can just be a visually stunning place that the couple always wanted to visit. Either way, there are plenty of beautiful places that you can choose from for your destination wedding. Some of these incredible places include:

Marrakech, Morocco 🇲🇦

Marrakech is possibly one of the most ancient cities in the world that is soaked in its history and culture. The city is home to a variety of historical landmarks and recreations of old markets that people can also visit. As a venue for a honeymoon, it is one of the best a couple could ask for. 

As for a venue for your actual wedding, you can choose from a range of gardens, courtyards, palaces, and riads. The riads are historic Moroccan houses that have been converted into hotels, but you can still film your wedding videos there with permission from the hotel management. The palaces allow for weddings in a grand hall that exudes royalty. Finally, if you want your venue to highlight the natural beauty of the city, there are plenty of gardens that overlook the city.

Jamaica 🇯🇲

Jamaica is a glamorous tourist destination known for its crystal clear waters and pristine beaches. The country is also very culturally rich, allowing you and your significant other to experience what the people have to offer. Wedding destinations can range from waterfalls and forests to blue beaches and clear skies. Another benefit that not many will mention is that the country is one of the cheapest Caribbean islands for a destination wedding. But there are plenty of luxurious options available, too, such as private estates that include personal chefs and security.

Napa Valley, California 🇺🇸

Napa Valley, California, has become another popular destination wedding location owing to its many vineyards and open fields. Couples can choose from locals for their venue, as the city is home to over 500 vineyards. In fact, this can be a great destination for wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts. 

People can create their dream wedding ceremony and reception in one of the city’s many luscious gardens. Its most popular venues include the Meadowood Napa Valley resort and the V. Sattui Winery. From there, the newlyweds and their families can move on to enjoying the many other attractions in the region, like hiking and hot air balloon rides.

Cozumel, Mexico 🇲🇽

If you’re looking for a more outdoorsy venue for your wedding, it doesn’t get any better than this. Along with being home to some of the cleanest beaches in the Caribbean, it is also home to one of the largest coral reef systems in the world. There are many scuba diving tours that can take couples down to see the unique sea life that exists down there. 

You can also find various reserves with unique wildlife if you’re the explorative type. As for venues to choose from, you can connect with local wedding planners who will guide you through the entire process. Not only do these individuals know the best spots for you to check, but they also have the connections to ensure everything goes by smoothly.

Barcelona, Spain 🇪🇸

Barcelona is a popular tourist destination in Spain with stunning architecture and an incredibly rich history. Its combination of historic architecture and natural beauty gives couples plenty of options to choose from. Of course, one of the most popular destinations in the city is the Casa Batllo, designed by Antoni Gaudi. It is a beautiful modernist building which is a cornerstone of the city’s tourism. The venue also includes an incredible backdrop for all sorts of wedding photos.

The Bahamas 🇧🇸

The Bahamas is a collection of 700 small islands that cater to the needs of any couple looking for the right destination wedding location. If you want a tightly knit ceremony with only your closest people there, you can rent a small island for the day. On the other hand, you could have a massive reception with a stacked guest list at one of their many resorts, like the Baha Mar

After the wedding, you can visit more activity-packed areas like Paradise Island and Nassau. Or you can relax on a small patch of beach and some trees like Harbor Island.

Tuscany, Italy 🇮🇹

Tuscany, Italy, is another popular pick among couples for a wedding destination because of its rich culture. It also features stunning landscapes, rich historical venues, and world-famous cuisine. In fact, the food alone is one of the main attractions in the city. 

The city’s many beautiful locations allow for a wedding ceremony that caters to your specific needs. If you want a more quiet and relaxed ceremony, you can get married to your significant other, surrounded by nothing but the sound of nature. But if you want something a bit more fabulous, you can get that too,  with venues like Villa Cora and Castello di Vincigliata. The rolling hills, along with the many vineyards, also make Tuscany a great place to explore after the ceremony.
