A destination wedding is a wedding ceremony that takes place away from the couple's hometown, often in a picturesque or exotic location. These weddings typically involve a smaller guest list, as travel can be a barrier for some attendees. Popular destinations include tropical beaches, historic cities, and scenic mountains, allowing couples to create a unique and memorable experience. Planning a destination wedding often requires additional logistics, such as coordinating travel and accommodations for guests. Couples may work with local vendors for services like catering, photography, and floral arrangements. This type of wedding can blend the ceremony with a vacation for both the couple and their guests.
