Ideal Places to Choose For Destination Weddings

Posted by IwedPlanner on December 16th, 2014

A destination wedding will certainly become memorable not just for you and your spouse, but your guests as well. Holding your wedding somewhere beautiful and/or exotic can make your big day even more special. Strictly speaking, ‘destination weddings’ are weddings that are held in a location that is at least 100 miles from where the bride currently resides. Among the over two million American couples getting married each year, less than 25 percent decide to throw a destination wedding, so you will truly stand out from the norm if you choose to go this route.

The world literally is your playground when it comes to choosing the ideal wedding destination. Here are some of the most popular wedding locations for tying the knot:

• Mexico: Puerto Vallarta and Cancun are among the resort cities to consider if you want to get married in Mexico. The exciting nightlife, warm weather, and cuisine all add unique and memorable qualities to your destination wedding. And since you’re already there, why not have a beach honeymoon, too?

• Puerto Rico: This Caribbean island does not require you and your guests to have passports if everyone is coming from the US. You will love Puerto Rico's rum and tropical lifestyle.

• Hawaii: The lush backdrop and distinct culture of Hawaii provide something special to your wedding day. As long as you and your future spouse are both American citizens, you do not need a passport or a visa to hold a wedding there.

• Dominican Republic: This is a small Caribbean country on Hispaniola Island and is known as the spot where Christopher Columbus first landed. There are plenty of resorts here. Many of them can provide a suitable wedding package for your budget, making it much easier to plan your big day.

• Aruba: Though small at only 33 miles long, Aruba is quite spectacular. You and your guests will love the beautiful beaches and the hospitality of the locals. Rainfall is very scarce here, so it is not likely to rain on your wedding day.

• Jamaica: This has been a popular holiday destination for decades and has recently become one of the most popular wedding destinations due to its blue waters and colorful culture.

• Virgin Islands: This is within the United States territories, so there is no need for passports to wed here. You and your guests will fall in love with the breathtaking white sand beaches throughout the Islands.
