Creating Unforgettable Memories…and a Vacation!

A destination wedding is more than just a ceremony; it's a unique experience that can turn into a multi-day celebration. From tropical beaches to picturesque castles and rustic vineyards, the choice of venue can be a reflection of the couple's personality and shared dreams. Guests are not just attending a wedding; they're embarking on an adventure. The memories created in such breathtaking locations often last a lifetime, making the event truly unforgettable for everyone involved.

Allowing the the wedding day to seamlessly flow into a full weekend of events, you can take your guests on a full wedding weekend experience and allow them to enjoy it alongside you! Wedicity duo and perfect pair, Allie and Joe tied the knot at Botanica in Oceanside, California! Extending their wedding weekend to include a wedding workout class to kick off the weekend, welcome party with beach views and up-leveled cuisine, a wedding ceremony in a remote tropical paradise with a natural spring bed waterfall, followed by a hidden reception venue gem tucked behind the palms and ending the night at local Hello Betty with a full take-over of the restaurant and a after-hours DJ! The next day was the perfect post-wedding pool party at the Seabird Resort and Spa for a day-party vibe!

Intimate Affair

For some, one of the most significant draws of a destination wedding is the ability to keep the guest list small and intimate. Attending a destination wedding requires more effort in terms of travel and accommodation, only the closest friends and family tend to make the journey. This results in a more personal and meaningful experience, where the couple can spend quality time with each guest but also being able to prioritize the moments and details that matter to them most!

Wedicity couple, Chris and Alexis decided to wed with a small group of just immediate family in the vineyards of Beringer Estate in St. Helena, California. They chose to elevate some of the small details with high personalization and add onto the wedding day with a few additional days of family time to get the most out of their time in Wine Country! A perk of on an intimate wedding is the ability to maximize the budget and to be able to choose the details that matter most and to allocate a bit more to those line items!

Combining Wedding and Honeymoon

Destination weddings often merge the wedding and honeymoon into one seamless experience. After saying "I do," couples can immediately transition into their honeymoon phase without the need for further travel. This saves time and effort but also allows newlyweds to start their married life with relaxation, romance, and adventure, all in the same place where they exchanged vows.

One of our Wedicity couples, Josephine and Cameron were married at the Grand Wailea in Maui, Hawaii. By extending the event to include a celestial welcome party including a star-gazing with an astronomer, pool party (complete with a lei-making class), Chinese Tea Ceremony, “Western” Wedding Ceremony, Reception, and Post-Wedding Brunch they were able to truly spend time with each of their guests throughout the wedding weekend! Once their guests departed the island, the couple stayed a few days in Maui to calmly kick off their honeymoon before deciding to island skip for the rest of their Honeymoon! A perfect combination of combing their wedding plans with an elongated stay to kick-start an adventurous life together!

Destination weddings can transform the way couples celebrate their love and commitment. They provide a unique opportunity to merge the joy of marriage with the thrill of adventure, creating unforgettable memories in breathtaking locations. These weddings allow couples to write their own love stories against some of the most stunning backdrops the world has to offer and Wedicity is here to help you plan and produce these big moments which become your fondest memories!
