Best Destination Weddings: Top Locations for Getting Hitched Abroad
TreeHouse Point in Issaquah, WA
If you and your beloved are the type of couple who enjoyed playing in treehouses as kids, and still love taking walks through the woods, tying the knot in a treehouse may be ideal. Located just 30 minutes from Seattle, tucked within a lush forest, here you can read your vows among the soaring trees as the sounds of the river provide nature’s best music.
It’s one of the best treehouse hotels in the world, perfect for a honeymoon too.
Petit St. Vincent, St. Vincent & the Grenadines
Petit St. Vincent is a private island resort spread across 113 acres in the Caribbean, ringed by two miles of picture-perfect sands. The sea is a dazzling array of deep sapphire blue to pale turquoise, and due to the intimacy of the resort, the only sounds you’re likely to hear are the gently lapping waves and the songs of the birds.
As it’s a private island resort, that also means that you, your wedding party and guests will have the beach all to yourself. You can choose your own favorite spot along the stretch of unspoiled sands for the ceremony, and afterwards head out on a sunset sail, toasting to your new life together amid the spectacular surroundings.

Juneau, Alaska
If you two love the great outdoors and the wilderness of Alaska calls to your soul, consider a destination wedding near Juneau, the picturesque capital of the state, nestled between the Gastineau Channel, Mount Roberts and Mount Juneau in its southeast region.
The fact that it can only be reached by boat or plane merely adds to the adventure. Just a short drive from downtown you’ll find Mendenhall Glacier, one of the 38 major glaciers that extend from Juneau Icefield — and you can hold your ceremony right on top of one.
Honeymoons here include the chance to take glacier cruises, enjoy whale watching and lots of other wildlife viewing, hiking and much more.
