How to Choose a Perfect Location For a Destination Wedding

Destination Weddings Are Becoming Increasingly Popular

Destination weddings now represent 25% of the wedding market according to wedding planners and travel experts. That said, how do you choose the perfect location for your destination wedding?

Are Hometown Weddings Tradition of the Past?

It’s not so much of a big deal anymore to have the typical hometown church wedding. We are finding that engaged couples more and more are choosing to say their “I Do’s” away from their home bases in a destination location that has meaning to them or has their dream wedding venue.

What is a Destination Wedding Exactly?

Destination weddings are weddings that are hosted away from the couple’s hometown or surrounding hometown areas. This usually requires travel for the couple, wedding party and wedding guests. Usually the wedding takes place in a picturesque location, a city that is familiar to the couple in some way, or even a place where the couple found their ideal wedding venue that they envisioned for their big day online. While the majority of the destination weddings are domestic, some are in a different country.

Consider the Aesthetic

As you are searching for the perfect wedding location, there are several things to consider. Is the aesthetic of the wedding venue appealing to you and your fiancé? Is there anything that you do not love about this venue or the location itself? Are you looking for a modern barn style venue, a hotel or resort, a little chapel in the woods, a scenic mountain venue, or are you looking for more of a casual beach wedding ceremony? Think of how formal that you may want the wedding style to be, then that should direct you to the type of venue that you are searching for.
