One of the most significant changes in the wedding industry in the last 10 years is the emergence of destination weddings. This is a phenomenon where a couple contracts a wedding company to look for a wedding destination based on their set of requirements and preferences.

Fortunately for you, after reading this post, you may not require a wedding expert to look for your wedding destination. I have highlighted the 5 top wedding destinations in the world.

1. Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts in Aruba

Aruba is a Dutch Caribbean Island that is located in the Lesser Antilles. Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts is Aruba's most preferred wedding destination. It is an adult’s only beachside resort where you can literally skinny dip in the warm Caribbean waters. Of course if you cannot afford this resort, there is Renaissance Aruba Resort with lovely little private island for weddings and Aruba Marriott & Stellaris Casino.

2. Radisson Blu in St. Maarten

This is another tropical wedding destination in the Caribbean. St. Maarten is half French, half Dutch Island in the Caribbean Sea. Radisson Blu is a private resort that comes complete with a private beach. You can have your wedding and honeymoon in this destination.

3. Grand Hotel in Florence, Italy

Grand Hotel is an 18th century palace that is nestled along River Arno in the heart of Florence. The scenic backdrop of the river will add the 'wow' factor to your wedding video and photographs. You can contract the hotel to cater for the wedding.

4. Le Château d'Esclimont, France

Is your dream to have a wedding like royalty? Well, there is no better place than the Le Château d'Esclimont that is located about 45 minutes outside palace on a 150-acre estate. While at it, why not also spend a few days of your honeymoon in the estate? You can fish, ride horses, hike and get gourmet meals prepared for you.

5. Couples Resorts

You have an option of selecting between Ocho Rios and Negril if you opt to have your wedding at these resorts. I would go with Ocho Rios due to the active entertainment scene in the area. The beaches are also awe-inspiring with their turquoise, crystal clear waters.

Of course there are hundreds of places you can have your wedding - depending on your tastes. The intention of this blog is to show you that you do not need a wedding expert to get the perfect setting for your wedding.
