Destination weddings continue to be popular for many reasons—an exotic locale, an intimate guest list, a lower all-in cost for the couple, just to name a few. The world is literally your oyster, whether you dream of a beach wedding in an exotic locale during frigid winter months, a seaside wedding in a small town or a celebration in your native country. Couples are inviting their guests to join them for the honeymoon before the wedding! The idea of friends and family gathering from around the world to celebrate at your favorite destination to celebrate your union is romantic and captivating.

A new twist on destination weddings is to invite immediate family and close friends to join you on location prior to the “Big Day.”  Pre-wedding activities include organized day outings, themed informal receptions and formal dinners. Global flavors abound at these destination One World Weddings™, from the indigenous food and décor, to the adventure of meeting new people and seeing new places. Whether you choose a locale that you are familiar with, or an entirely new destination, your wedding planner can help you contact local vendors and people who will be available to assist you once you arrive.

Spending a week together in an exotic locale for your wedding is a great way to share a vacation, to allow your guests to bond and to make sure your wedding is a memorable event. Remember to keep in mind the travel budgets of your guests, peak and off-peak rates, and Mother Nature!
