From lush gardens to beautiful gazebos, there are plenty of destination wedding venues that are not on the beach. As a destination wedding travel agent when I meet with my couples one of the first things we discuss is the importance of location. I ask my couples to share with me their wedding day vision and wedding week experience. From there I find the perfect all inclusive resort that will bring your destination wedding vision to life!
Beach Wedding Ceremony Alternatives
1. Gazebos
If you are dreaming of a beach wedding ceremony but don’t want to worry about the sand then a gazebo wedding ceremony is perfect for you! Many resorts offer beautiful beachfront gazebos that have hard surfaces and overlook the ocean. Imagine saying “I Do” overlooking the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea without the hassle of sand in your toes.
2. Rooftop Terraces
A number of my favorite all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean have rooftop terraces on their properties. These unique destination wedding ceremony locations are a great alternative to a beach wedding ceremony as you still get breathtaking views of not only the beach and ocean but potentially the jungle and maybe even some Mayan ruins, it is quite literally views for days!
3. Gardens
If you are looking for a more intimate and private beach wedding ceremony alternative consider a garden wedding ceremony. These locations on the resort property are often smaller and a great option for more intimate weddings. The gardens are most commonly tucked away somewhere quiet and peaceful and usually offer the perfect tropical backdrop thanks to the local flora and fauna.
4. Piers
Want to get married near the water while still avoiding the sand!? Consider a pier wedding ceremony! This unique destination wedding ceremony location is the perfect hybrid between beach and resort. You get all the benefits of getting married near the beach while overlooking the crystal azure blue waters with one of the most epic wedding ceremony aisles ever- all eyes will certainly be on you!
5. Chapels
For some, it is important to have a religious wedding ceremony at their destination wedding venue, that’s where chapels come in handy. From open-air chapels to even tropical architecture chapels I can help you find the perfect religious wedding ceremony location.
6. Pool Decks
An all-time favorite of my couples is getting married poolside. This beach wedding ceremony alternative will still give your guests the sought-after destination wedding vibe while providing a unique ambiance. As a bonus consider an evening or sunset ceremony and surround yourself with the warm glow from the pool deck.
If none of these beach wedding ceremony alternatives tickle your fancy let me know as I have some very unique destination wedding ceremony locations that are up my sleeve! From modern arches overlooking lush tropical landscaping to cobblestone stairs and even natural cenotes! As a destination wedding travel agent I want to help you find the perfect destination wedding venue!
