Romance in Paradise: Best Destinations for Destination Weddings

Your wedding day should be more than just an event — it should be an experience. Imagine saying “I do” with the turquoise Caribbean Sea glistening behind you, or exchanging vows on a cliffside in Italy as the sun melts into the Mediterranean.

At Travel With McNellis, we help couples turn these dreams into seamless, unforgettable celebrations. From resort coordination and guest travel to post-wedding honeymoons, our team takes care of every detail — so you can focus on love, not logistics.

Here’s a look at four of the world’s most romantic destinations for your dream wedding abroad, and how we make it effortless from start to finish.

1. The Caribbean – Sun, Sand, and “I Do”

With its crystal-clear waters and all-inclusive luxury, the Caribbean is the ultimate playground for destination weddings. Whether you choose St. Lucia, Jamaica, or the Dominican Republic, you’ll find stunning beachfront resorts that make wedding planning simple and elegant.

Why We Love It:

• Resorts like Sandals, Beaches, and Secrets offer full-service wedding packages — from décor to dinner.

• Most islands don’t require residency periods for marriage licenses, making it easy to say “I do” on arrival.

• Guests can enjoy snorkeling, catamaran cruises, and island adventures before and after the big day.

How McNellis Helps: We coordinate group bookings, room blocks, and airport transfers — ensuring your loved ones arrive on time and stress-free. Plus, we’ll guide you through resort wedding packages to find the perfect fit for your vision and budget.

2. Mexico – Culture, Color, and Coastal Charm

From the Riviera Maya’s white-sand beaches to Cabo San Lucas’ dramatic cliffs, Mexico offers endless backdrops for romance.

Why We Love It:

• World-class resorts with customizable wedding packages.

• Warm hospitality and expert local planners who know every detail.

• Endless entertainment — from tequila tastings to cenote adventures.

How McNellis Helps: We partner with top resorts like Hyatt Ziva, Dreams, and Excellence to create stress-free experiences for couples and guests alike. We handle flights, ground transport, excursions, and group coordination, leaving you to simply enjoy your celebration.

3. Hawaii – Love in the Heart of the Pacific

For couples who want a romantic escape without leaving the U.S., Hawaii offers tropical beauty, cultural depth, and effortless travel.

Why We Love It:

• Dramatic ocean views, waterfalls, and sunset backdrops on islands like Maui, Oahu, and Kauai.

• No passport required for U.S. citizens.

• World-class resorts and photographers who specialize in island weddings.

How McNellis Helps: We’ll find the perfect island for your theme — from laid-back beach ceremonies to luxury resort venues. Our advisors can arrange travel for both the couple and their guests, plus honeymoon extensions so your celebration flows seamlessly into your first adventure as newlyweds.

4. Italy – Romance, Elegance, and Timeless Beauty

If you’ve ever dreamed of a fairytale wedding surrounded by vineyards or overlooking the Amalfi Coast, Italy is pure magic.

Why We Love It:

• Historic villas, seaside terraces, and wine-country estates.

• Exquisite cuisine and local charm — your guests will never forget it.

• Ideal for smaller, intimate celebrations with an emphasis on atmosphere and elegance.

How McNellis Helps: We’ll handle every international detail — from legal requirements and venue coordination to arranging private transfers and luxury accommodations for your guests. Whether it’s Tuscany, Lake Como, or Positano, we make destination wedding planning effortless and enchanting.
