Your Dream Destination Wedding Starts Here: Caribbean, Mexico & Hawaii
Plan the Destination Wedding of Your Dreams
Are you dreaming of saying “I do” with your toes in the sand and the ocean as your backdrop? Destination weddings are more popular than ever—and for good reason. They offer a unique, stress-free way to tie the knot while enjoying an unforgettable vacation with your closest family and friends.
At Travel Leaders, our expert wedding specialists make the planning process seamless by partnering with trusted local vendors and luxurious resorts. Better yet, destination weddings often combine the ceremony and honeymoon in one all-inclusive package—saving time, money, and a whole lot of hassle.
You can also avoid the pressure of a massive guest list. Destination weddings naturally lend themselves to more intimate celebrations, making it easier to invite only your nearest and dearest without the guilt.
Top Destination Wedding Locations
Wondering where to go? The Caribbean, Mexico, and Hawaii consistently top the list for beautiful beach destination weddings. Here’s a closer look at some of the most popular wedding spots and the packages you can expect.
Caribbean Beach Weddings
Antigua
Home to 365 stunning beaches, Antigua offers picture-perfect venues for a romantic beach wedding.
Hermitage Bay: This eco-luxury resort features beachfront suites, a serene couples’ spa, and lush tropical gardens ideal for wedding photos.
Sandals Grande Antigua: Located in vibrant St. John’s, this adults-only resort is known for its fine dining, white-sand beaches, and private pool suites.
Carlisle Bay: Nestled between the ocean and a rainforest, this five-star hotel combines adventure and relaxation. It’s especially popular with nature-loving couples.
Riviera Maya, Mexico Destination Weddings
Mexico’s Riviera Maya is a top destination for affordable, all-inclusive weddings with breathtaking beachfront settings.
Easy flights from major U.S. cities
All-inclusive resorts with onsite wedding planners
Rich cultural attractions like Mayan ruins, cenotes, and Xcaret Park
What’s included in typical Riviera Maya wedding packages?
Packages often feature venue rental, wedding coordination, floral décor, photography, and even entertainment. Some resorts offer perks like spa discounts, group excursions, and cocktail receptions. Many properties allow you to personalize every detail—from the ceremony to the reception menu.
Pro Tip: Be aware of seasonal seaweed (sargassum) along Riviera Maya beaches, especially from April through October. Some couples opt for Mexico’s Pacific Coast—like Cabo San Lucas—for a seaweed-free beach wedding experience with equally luxurious options.
Legal Considerations: Planning a legal ceremony in Mexico can be complex. Many couples choose to marry legally at home and have a symbolic ceremony abroad—with no difference in the celebration experience.
