After having my own wedding ceremony in Africa, I wondered where the best other wedding destinations were around the world. So here are a few of what the tour operators say are the best and most popular places to get married:
Vegas, Las Vegas weddings have always been much sought after and the reasons are pretty obvious. The cainos are amazing, the hotels world class and L.A. and San Francisco are only hours away by car through the deserts and mountains of Nevada and California. Not only this but the night life surrounding you in this city will make for a fantastic night out on your honeymoon. The Vegas wedding has everything, it’s a must for those looking for an exciting honeymoon and yet it is also relatively cheap. Many foreign hotels that are able to host your wedding also able to offer a complete wedding package!
the beautiful island of St Lucia. If you wanted your ceremony held in the Caribbean then this is the island for you. If you’re looking for everything to be sorted out for you then the St Lucia Holidays package can be personalised to include; clergyman or magistrate; government fees; wedding coordinator; decorated garden or wedding site; witnesses, bridal bouquet and matching buttonhole, wedding cake and even a bottle of bubbly. This is by far the most beautiful of the Caribbean islands, but it does happen to be the most expensive place to get married second only to Antigua.
If, like me, you would like to have a wedding in Kenya, Pinewood Village is the place to go. You’ll have the Indian Ocean lapping onto the stunning white beach whilst chanting Maasai warriors escort the bride-to-be through floral archways to the wedding dais next to the Kenyan shore, a wedding held at the four-star Pinewood Village is exclusive and personal because no other weddings will be taking place on the same day. The Wedding package from the Pinewood also includes massages for the bride and groom to be, a manicure and pedicure for her, a decorated beach area including a bridal archway, cocktails for guests and sparkling wine for the newlyweds. There is an option where you can have your reception at the Peponi Beach Restaurant but sparkling wine on ice in your room, all wedding expences including registration, a registrar, certificates and even an escort by Maasai warriors are included in the price.
Any of these holidays are fantastic but I would personally recommend the Kenya wedding.
