How to Choose the Perfect Venue for Your Destination Wedding

Your ultimate guide to saying “I do” in paradise — with confidence

Planning a destination wedding is a dream come true — but when it comes to choosing your venue, the number of options can quickly go from exciting to overwhelming.

Do you imagine saying your vows on a soft white-sand beach with waves as your soundtrack? Or are you picturing an intimate garden ceremony surrounded by tropical blooms? Maybe a sleek rooftop terrace or a romantic oceanfront chapel feels more like you.

Each type of venue comes with its own unique magic — and its own set of considerations. That’s why I’m kicking off a brand-new blog series all about wedding venues at destination resorts. Whether you’re still dreaming or already narrowing down your options, this series is here to help you explore the pros and cons of each style and discover what truly suits your vision.

What You’ll Learn in This Series

Over the coming months, I’ll be sharing detailed insights into the most popular venue types offered at all-inclusive resorts across Mexico, the Caribbean, and beyond. Topics will include:

• Beach Weddings: Natural beauty meets breezy vibes

• Garden Venues: Lush, private, and romantic

• Sky Terraces & Rooftops: Modern elegance with a view

• Chapels & Sacred Spaces: Symbolic or spiritual, indoors or open-air

• Private vs. Semi-Private Options: Understanding your level of exclusivity

• Evening Ceremonies & Receptions: How lighting, timing, and ambience matter

Along the way, I’ll also be highlighting some of my top resort partners — including luxurious properties from the Hyatt Inclusive Collection, stylish Hard Rock resorts, romantic escapes with Sandals & Beaches, and stunning Royalton venues, just to name a few.

These aren’t just beautiful settings — they’re places I know well, trust completely, and recommend to my couples because they deliver memorable experiences time and time again.

Why the Venue Matters More Than You Think

Your ceremony and reception venue set the tone for your entire wedding day — the vibe, the view, the privacy, and even the logistics. Choosing the right one is more than just picking a pretty backdrop. It’s about:

• Making your guests feel comfortable and included

• Creating effortless photo opportunities

• Ensuring your day flows smoothly

• Reflecting your personalities and story as a couple

By the end of this series, you’ll feel more confident about what you want, what to look out for, and how to ask the right questions.
