Mexico - just thinking the name calls up images of beautiful beaches and incredible culture. Mexico offers something for everyone wanting to get married abroad. It is great for those wanting the fairytale beach wedding, or those wanting a wedding full of culture, or those just wanting to get away from it all. Mexico fits most every budget and is great for groups. Imagine water so clear, you can see to the bottom from almost anywhere. That is the backdrop to the white sand that your bare feet are standing in. Your dress is flowing in the breeze and your fiancé is across from you in a beach shirt and shorts. You exchange your vows in front of your friends and family. After many incredible pictures, you enter one of the all-inclusive restaurants to have your reception dinner. The food is incredible and the drinks are flowing. Your hotel wedding planner has taken care of everything - all you needed to do was show up. Easy. Simple. Beautiful. If you are planning to go away for a week, why not make it two. You can then have a honeymoon after your wedding. After everyone ventures home, go ahead and switch hotels. This will change up your vacation and give you something new to look forward to. An incredible way to start your lives together.

In Mexico you can choose a destination full of wonderful activities or the relaxation of a beautiful beach. There is the bustling non-stop atmosphere of Cancun or Acapulco or the more laid-back resorts of the Mayan Rivera. Acres of tranquil landscaped gardens, historical colonial cities, costal reefs, hacienda style hotels and miles of swaying beaches are just some of your options in Mexico. With all of its varied attractions, Mexico is definitely unique.

Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular. With sun, sand and surf available, who wouldn’t love to get married in a destination location? Whether it’s in the blue Carribean, historic Mexico or sunny Jamaica, a destination wedding has all the great elements of a wonderful holiday to celebrate your wedding day.

Check out RIU Bambu Hotel in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. With an on-site wedding coordinator, décor and set, flowers, music and so much more included with your package, the only thing you have to worry about is keeping your tan even.

Or you could try RIU Ochos Rios in Jamaica – they include spa packages and breakfast in bed for the bride and groom. In Cabo San Luca, the RIU Palace offers three different wedding day packages and a wide variety of amenities for you and your guests. Cuba is less than a two-hour drive from Havana, and the world-famous Varadero beach stretches over 20 kilometres along a narrow peninsula on the north coast of the island. Amazing sites and fabulous views are a perfect backdrop to your wedding day.

Thinking about Hawaii? The culture adds a little something to the traditional wedding. Each island has its own identity, from the commercial to the small and intimate, each supplying a little something special. Visit Haleakala National Park or Diamondhead Mountian. Both of these locations offer breathtaking views. A wedding in Hawaii can range from a quiet beach ceremony to a lavish resort ballroom.

Looking for something different for your wedding day but don’t want to head to a beach resort? No other city is as unique as Las Vegas. Its skyline includes Paris, Egypt, Rome, New York, Venice and San Francisco, to name a few. You could be married by Elvis or an alien, whatever suits your unique style.

Wherever you choose to go for your destination wedding, make sure to research the local laws and marriage rules carefully. Find out a number of different activities your guests can take part in and leave a list with contact information in their hotel rooms with their gift baskets.
