Planning Checklist
Plana · Destination Library

Where will yousay I do?

Ninety-one places we’ve studied closely — Tuscan villas, Greek cliffs, Kyoto temples, Tulum cenotes. Every guide covers legal paperwork, venues, seasons, and what guests will actually experience.

223 destinations·Six continents·Legal & budget guidance

A destination wedding is the rare occasion when the place becomes a guest — bring the right one and it does half the work for you.

What to plan for

Four things every destination wedding gets wrong

Each guide answers all four below — but skim these first to know what to look for as you browse.

01 · Legal01

Marriage requirements

Every country handles foreign weddings differently — residency periods, translated documents, witness requirements. Some couples sign the legal paperwork at home and travel for the symbolic ceremony. Each guide tells you which path makes sense.

02 · Timing02

Season and weather

Peak season is not the same everywhere. A Mediterranean July is glorious; a Caribbean July sits in hurricane season. Each guide flags the months locals recommend, the months tourists flood in, and the shoulder weeks where the price drops without the weather doing the same.

03 · Budget03

Realistic pricing

Costs swing wildly by destination. Tuscany differs from Tulum, and both differ from Bali. Each guide gives you ballpark venue rates, catering per-head, and the local vendor scene — so you can compare locations against your number before you fall in love.

04 · Guests04

Travel logistics

Airport proximity, visa requirements, accommodation availability, and round-trip costs all affect attendance — typically 60-80% of invitees on a destination wedding. Plan early, send save-the-dates twelve months out, and pre-block hotel rooms.
