Best Places To Get Married Abroad!

Planning your dream wedding and looking for the perfect destination to say ‘I Do’ with your other half? Weddings abroad are a fantastic way to mark the special occasion and make it an unforgettable day for everyone.

What are you waiting for?! Check out these best places to get married abroad:

 

Ibiza

Despite having a world-renowned reputation as a party island, Ibiza wedding holidays offer  some beautiful locations, perfect for tying the knot. If you are hoping for a beach holiday destination with a climate that is just right, then the island is a great place to consider. Blessings usually take place by the beach, in the early evening, when temperatures turn from hot to balmy.

 

Weddings abroad can sometimes be a bit of an obstacle for family members, particularly those who aren’t huge fans of flying. Choosing an Ibiza wedding venue as your ‘I Do’ destination means a shorter flight and hopefully a longer guestlist!

 

As with all international weddings, you must consider local laws when planning your nuptials. UK couples who are not residents and are not of the Catholic faith will need to perform the legalities of a civil ceremony in the UK whilst a blessing ceremony can be performed afterwards in Ibiza.

Cyprus

Cyprus has a fantastic reputation for package holidays and is a great destination for getting married abroad and saying those all important words to your other half. Discover why a Cyprus wedding package is the perfect choice for you and your loved one.

 

Cyprus has a rich romantic history – according to legend, the island is the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love. Roman general, Mark Antony, is also said to have skipped the jewellery and presented the island to Cleopatra as a token of his love and affection.

 

The country offers white-sand beaches and luxury hotels, at an affordable cost – and you can be there in around five hours. On the days you’re not tying the knot, you can enjoy exploring Cyprus’ countryside, or stroll hand-in-hand along part of the 800-kilometre-long coastline.

 

Make sure you check local laws and regulations before travelling to ensure you have everything you need!

St Lucia

St Lucia is a front runner for honeymoons, so why not book a St Lucia wedding too! It is the perfect blend of yin and yang – black and white sand beaches, a bustling north and a go-slow south. And with the majestic Twin Pitons in view from all over the island, there’s no better place to start your life as a two.

 

St Lucia lends itself well to getting married in the great outdoors. You can say those two words by the Caribbean Sea, or in the heart of a tropical rainforest. The quiet bays on the west coast are a wedding photographer’s dream – ivory sands merge into thick jungle-covered hillside. 

 

When you’re not vowing your promises to each other, days can be spent snorkelling in clear waters, showering under beach waterfalls or enjoying ocean-view massages in a 5-star hotel. Away from the shoreline, you can find a burst of adventure, with everything from rainforest hikes and aerial tram rides to scuba diving.
