When it comes to destination weddings, there are a plethora of options to choose from, each with their own unique charm and character. As I love traveling, destination weddings are always the dream job. Especially anywhere in Italy. I have put together 5 of the most popular destination wedding venues for those planning to tie the knot in 2024/2025.
Italy – For couples looking to add a touch of romance and old-world charm to their special day, Italy is a top choice. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the picturesque canals of Venice, there is no shortage of breathtaking backdrops in this country. Popular Italian wedding venues include villas and palaces, as well as picturesque outdoor locations like gardens and vineyards. A firm favourite on my list of destination wedding venues is La Pescaia Resort Tuscany. It’s beautiful. A 19th century farm villa, privately secluded venue between Siena and Rome. It is surrounded by over six thousand ancient olive groves, glorious forests and hidden paths ideal for romantic strolls or horse riding. Minimum of 3 nights booking, has a beautiful pool and sleeps 36. You can get some details here https://www.pescaiaresort.com/weddings
Destination wedding venues in Las Vegas
For those looking for something a little more offbeat and unique, Las Vegas is a great option. When I was in Las Vegas I saw numerous couples on their way to and from the chapels that line the Las Vegas strip. This city is known for its over-the-top wedding chapels, which range from traditional to themed. Some chapels even offer Elvis impersonators to perform the ceremony! If you fancy some escapism and just want some rock and roll vibes for the big day, you could have a look at the wedding packages from The Little Vegas Chapel, who, of course, do Elvis weddings. It’s been voted the best wedding Chapel in Las Vegas and has some pretty good reviews on trip advisor. Packages start at around $350. https://www.thelittlevegaschapel.com/wedding-packages/elvis-weddings/
Hawaii – For a tropical paradise wedding, Hawaii is a top choice. With its lush rainforests, white sand beaches, and beautiful sunsets, Hawaii offers a dreamy and romantic setting for a wedding. Popular wedding venues in Hawaii include beachfront resorts, outdoor gardens, and historical sites. A beautiful venue to look at is Haiku Gardens. There is a maximum of 175 guests here but the views are stunning. https://www.haikugardens.com/weddings

When choosing a destination wedding venue, it’s important to keep in mind your own personal style and preferences, as well as the number of guests you plan to invite. The legal side is also important to remember, there will be different rules and regulations to those we have at home. Be sure to check these when planning your destination wedding 2024/2025. Regardless of where you choose, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you and your guests will never forget.
