destination weddings

Destination weddings are hot. Sometimes called “weddingmoons” (wedding and honeymoon at the same site), couples are choosing to marry outside of their hometown. From the bride and groom “eloping” alone together to the growing popularity of an elaborate island wedding with family and friends, couples are choosing destination weddings to get hitched.

Destination weddings are ideal for the couple who wants to get away alone or with just a few close friends and family members. Weddingmoons are also a smart, trendy solution for the bride and groom who want both a spectacular wedding and a lavish honeymoon, but must opt for only one or the other. The style of a destination wedding ranges from formal resort receptions to casual celebrations on the beach. Easier to coordinate, less expensive, and much more intimate, destination weddings allow couples to stay relaxed, focus on each other, and able to enjoy their guests.
