After years of being stuck at home, we are all itching to get out and start exploring again. One option many are pursuing is a destination wedding. It is a three-for-one trip – a celebration of your nuptials, getting out and seeing the world again, and a vacation!

By definition, a destination wedding is when your wedding does not take place in your current home location/area. A destination does not always mean international! So, how to begin? First, consider any places that have special meaning to you as a couple. Where did you meet? Where did you take your first big vacation together? When do you plan on getting married? Once you start answering these questions, some locations might come right off the table.

Also, consider the local customs, traditions, scenery, and other things that may appeal to you about a particular location and lean into it! This is one of the many charms of a destination wedding and can make bringing together your big day more manageable. Frequently destination weddings are smaller – both intentionally and by circumstance. Selecting an all-inclusive wedding package can allow you to put other time and resources into a celebration closer to home.

Wedding planning is overwhelming, and the idea of planning a destination wedding may feel even more so. But many venues offer detailed wedding packages, where all you need to do is make your payment and show up. As you explore your location and venue options, be sure to dig into everything that may be available. Trying to figure out the best vendors can be challenging at home, so finding a venue and wedding coordinator that you can trust with the connections to the best local people and things you need for your big day is a must. In addition to the fun parts of a wedding, there are also a lot of legal logistics to consider, even more so when you are abroad. Many wedding packages, such as marriage licenses and other legal documents, build in these needs. For weddings in places where you may not speak the language, having a trusted partner to help you navigate even the most basic of communication will be imperative.

Hearing the term “destination wedding” might make you start seeing dollar signs. The term “all-inclusive” may have even more dollar signs, but you will find that in the end, you will save money, reduce stress, and truly enjoy your day. And in reality, choosing that all-inclusive option may give you the option to focus on what really matters to you. Enjoying the feeling of marital bliss.

Now that you committed to a destination wedding, here are the top places to consider:

Italy

Italy has something for everyone, from its rich history, scenic locales, and beautiful architecture. You can go traditional or rustic, on hillsides or beaches. As you consider your options, also explore other activities to do in the area that will appeal to you and your guests. And you cannot forget the food and wine! Enjoy your favorite Italian red steps from where it is grown. Or delight in the freshest pasta and noshes made as they have been for centuries. Italy is one of the top destination weddings locales. The unparalleled choices, from the Northern Slopes of the Italian Alps and Lake Como, where you can be joined where snow-capped mountains touch crystal clear water, to the magical canals of Venice, where the serenades of the gondoliers touch the soul.

Many people think the Dominican Republic is only a honeymoon destination. True, it is. The Dominican Republic is the perfect place for a winter escape. With stunning beaches and beautiful scenery, there is something for everyone. But for budget-minded couples, the Dominican Republic offers a way to combine your wedding and your honeymoon. Since most resorts offer full amenities for your guests, it becomes a hands-off vacation after they finish celebrating you! Most venues include onsite or nearby lodging and transportation to local sites, making the Dominican Republic a more straightforward yet exciting option. If you and your guests are more active, there are many outdoor activities that you can incorporate into your celebrations.

Typically all without having to leave their large resorts. They can even plan activities for your guests, such as swimming with dolphins or snorkeling.

France

France is another destination with something for everyone. You can find the perfect setting for your big day. It offers options from beautiful beaches to charming chateaus. Classic scenes will provide a timeless backdrop to your wedding photos for years to come. After your wedding, you and your guests can easily explore other parts of France or Europe to make your time away a true European adventure. The all inclusive wedding package France truly gets to the high point of luxury. While Italy offers charm and stunning scenery, France offers luxury and indulgence. You and your guests will be pampered and stuffed with some of the most beautiful wedding venues and many of the world’s greatest chefs.

EventRoostr knows that the idea of an all-inclusive in France is a bit American but is working hard to bring you the options to make your dream destination wedding a reality.

Hawaii
