Whether its location is next to majestic mountains, on a tropical island, or in an ancient castle, a destination wedding is magical. You get to choose a place that uniquely represents your love and follow the ceremony with an unforgettable honeymoon. Plus, professional and capable wedding planners take care of all the hard organizational work, and your guests spend a lovely vacation in the chosen destination. What could be better? And to inspire you to pick the location of your dreams, here’s our list of top wedding places to get married. Check it out.

1. Las Vegas

For most people, Las Vegas associates with Elvis-impersonator marriage commissioners and drive-through chapels. But the city in the desert has a lot more to offer. You can find elegant poolsides, trendy restaurants, and gorgeous ballrooms here for any taste and budget. The best rates are available during November and the beginning of December (on Christmas time, the prices spike). That’s also the time when the weather is mostly mild. We wouldn’t recommend planning a wedding in Las Vegas during the summer months, as it gets super hot.

The cool thing about Las Vegas is that while you’re scouting for locations, you can double your preparation money at a gambling table. Try your luck with any amount you’re comfortable with, and you might win enough to upgrade a modest wedding into something more akin to your dreams. And these days, you can even begin your gambling adventure while on the road to Las Vegas. A Book of Ra online casino or other internet gambling sites lets you spin the slot wheels from anywhere you want.

2. San Francisco

Wedding places on the Golden Coast of the USA (California) are full of scenic locations that make them memorable destinations. And the same goes for San Francisco. Firstly, the urban areas themselves are laid-back and picturesque. At the same time, the districts look sophisticated and classy, making them the perfect backdrop for quality wedding photos. Plus, the hills, which you can see everywhere, add a dramatic look to the scenery. And let’s not forget the most spectacular sight of all in San Francisco: the Golden Gate Bridge. You can catch a view of it from pretty much anywhere in the city.

3.  Four Seasons Hotel in Florence

If you’ve ever been to Florence, you know why this charming Italian city, full of beautiful Renaissance architecture, makes the perfect location for a romantic wedding. And there’s even more beauty and romance in the city center in Four Seasons Hotel. It’s right next to the Uffizi Gallery, a prime location for taking breathtaking wedding photos. The hotel has several venues for a wedding. Some of them are larger and can host hundreds of guests. But you can also have an intimate ceremony in a chapel with frescos on the walls.

4. Aman, Venice

Here’s another wedding location in Italy: Aman in Venice. It’s a Grand Canal Hotel in one of the most beautiful palazzos in Venice. The Rococo works of art, frescoed walls, and stylish interiors make every corner of this building a dream for anyone who adores romance.

5. Hay Fields in Catskill State Park

Catskill State Park in Maplecrest, New York, has a storybook-like scenery that’s perfect for a wedding ceremony. It has centuries-old trees, expanses as far as the eye can see, and wild grass that makes you want to take off your shoes and walk barefoot. And yes, you can have the wedding dinner in a rustic (but newly renovated!) barn.

6. Palaces in London – Royal Wedding Places

Believe it or not, but in England, you can have your wedding at a royal palace. It can happen in Kensington Palace, Hampton Court Palace, or even at Buckingham Palace. These impressive venues are all located conveniently near London. So your guests can enjoy the city before heading to the elegant palace with a splendid garden for your wedding. Beware, though: if you’re looking for cheap wedding places, those are not. The price to book Kensington Palace on a Saturday is about $24,000. And that fee doesn’t cover entertainment and food. It grants you a private entrance to Kensington Palace, on-site security, and a wedding planner.

7. New York Public Library

Have you ever been to the New York Public Library? Its marble columns and grand staircases make the venue an excellent spot for a luxurious wedding. The glamour of this stunning and iconic location carries on to all the different event spaces on the premises. You can have a solemn ceremony in one room and continue with a dance party in another.

8. Banff, Canada

 Banff is a resort town with chateau-style hotels that look like castles from fairy tales. The Fairmont Banff Springs, a luxury hotel built in 1888, has dining rooms, lounges, and ballrooms: everything you need for a magical wedding. Plus, the alpine scenery and the surrounding parkland are the perfect backdrops for idyllic wedding pictures.

9. Kapalua, Maui, United States

 Wedding places at the beach in Maui are stunning. All the resorts here make great wedding places on the island. You can take in romantic views of the majestic Kahalawai mountains, take dream-like pictures at waterfalls, or chill at the famous white beaches. And there’s no shortage of fun activities to do. Guests can enjoy whale watching, kayaking, snorkeling, and much more. A wedding place on an island is trendy and romantic.

10. Tuscany, Italy

 Yes, we are in Italy again. This time in Tuscany. Here you have roads lined with cypress trees, renaissance villas next to romantic sunflower fields, and much more. You can have a lavish wedding party on one of the scenic estates or opt for an intimate ceremony in a private villa. Either way, the wedding will be top class.

Conclusion

So this was our list of magical places where you can get married. Each of them has a unique personality, and you can pick the one that seems to represent your love the best. Whether it’s the Italian charm, the otherworldliness of a tropical island, or scenic cityscapes, there’s a perfect wedding venue waiting for everybody.
