1. A Chateau in France
This is one of my favorite destination wedding locations of all time. If the Better Half and I could afford it (and if very important members of our families weren’t very afraid of flying), I’m positive we would do this. There are lots of chateaux in France that invite wedding parties; it’s the perfect kind of place for a ceremony and a honeymoon. Get one near the region or city you prefer, and see if you can also arrange some nearby activities for the guests to enjoy!
It's all about the vibes, really! Think breathtaking views, unique architecture, and that magical atmosphere that makes you feel like you're in a dream. A stunning location adds that extra sprinkle of magic to your big day!
It's all about what speaks to your heart! Do you love the beach, mountains, or historic cities? Consider your personal style, your guests' travel ease, and your budget. Trust me, your perfect spot is out there waiting for you!
Not necessarily! It really depends on the location and what you're planning. Some places offer all-inclusive packages that can actually save you money. Plus, you'll get a wedding and a honeymoon in one go. Such a win-win!
Oh, where do I start? Less traditional and more personal. It's an adventure for you and your guests. Plus, the scenery is often unbeatable, and it cuts down your guest list to those who truly want to celebrate with you.
Absolutely! Many destination venues can cater to large parties. Just remember that travel logistics will be different for more guests, and it might limit who can attend. But hey, those who make it will be part of an unforgettable experience!
2. A Scottish Castle
If you’d like to get married in a castle somewhere else, however, definitely put Scotland in the running. Go to Edinburgh or, if your family is from Scotland, get married in the town or village in which your ancestors lived. Either way, the countryside will steal your breath away, and everything you see will leave you unquestionably charmed and feeling the country’s magic.

Lately it has seen an influx of celebrities, but that’s not the reason to consider it.
