We’ve rounded up a handful of the most popular venues across the globe for a destination castle wedding! ✨

Starting out as a long-distance couple, Adriana an Starting out as a long-distance couple, Adriana and Chris made travel their preferred way to meet. That’s why, when they began planning their wedding, jet-setting seemed the best way to celebrate their union. The Caribbean, a destination the couple was familiar with from past vacations (the first vacation they ever took as a couple was to several islands there), seemed the best option. 

An Anguilla destination wedding, specifically, won them over for its combination of amazing food and gorgeous, quiet beaches.

With the perfect short-term rental home secured on With the perfect short-term rental home secured on North Carolina's Outer Banks, Madison and Robyn felt confident in their decision to have a destination wedding near Robyn's original hometown. 

Because Robyn is a corporate event planner, the couple initially intended to spearhead the logistics themselves and simply lean on a coordinator for day-of support. However, they quickly realized they were a bit in over their heads...

“It was about three to four months before we realized how wrong we were, and thankfully, Ashley was able to step up and help,” Robyn says, “Looking back, our biggest regret was not having hired her as our full-time planner from Day One.”

Tips for Saving Your Wedding Guests From Soaring A Tips for Saving Your Wedding Guests From Soaring Airfare 💵✈️

For before you’ve selected your location and date:
✨ Target High-Volume Hubs
As a general rule, the more airlines that service an airport, the more deals you can score on flights, so consider saying “I do” in locations with consistent routes and multiple carriers.

✨ Assess where the bulk of your guest list resides
While the weather may not always be ideal during a destination’s shoulder season (the period between a destination’s peak season and off-season), pricing is often at its best. This is what many travel professionals would call the “sweet spot” where flight costs and resort rates drop simultaneously. 

✨ Map Out the Guest Footprint First
Long before picking a resort, it is wise to consider where the bulk of your guest list resides and how far they’d have to go.

✨ Extend the Planning Runway
One of the single most powerful actions a couple can take is securing their date 12 to 18 months in advance. A longer planning period for guests means a better window to track flight fares, increasing the chances of scoring a good deal.
