The Globe’s Finest Wedding Venues

Across countries, there are a few places where luxury feels intimate, where the extraordinary is standard, and where every detail is crafted to elevate life and your celebration. That’s why we have curated a selection of destinations where luxury borders on the creation of an unforgettable experience.

From the mystical landscapes of Scotland to the serene beauty of Japan, discover where your love will be etched into settings filled with magic and timeless elegance.

Scotland: The Mystic Elegance of Castles

For romantic souls and lovers of legends, Scotland offers an unparalleled setting for a wedding. Imagine exchanging your vows beneath the painted ceilings of a castle nestled in the heart of the Highlands, surrounded by a misty and majestic landscape.

These historic venues exude an atmosphere that is both intimate and grand, where every stone seems to tell a story. The sound of bagpipes, the wind over emerald hills, and the timeless elegance of a royal wedding will transform your union into a true masterpiece. Madonna and Guy Ritchie’s wedding at Skibo Castle in Scotland in 2000 remains an iconic example.

Caribbean: The Exclusivity of a Private Island

Surrender to the turquoise waters and flawless beaches of a private Caribbean island, time stands still, and every sunset is a unique spectacle painted in vibrant hues of orange and pink.

Imagine a wedding ceremony at the edge of the world, barefoot on soft white sand, serenaded by the gentle whisper of the waves, and celebrated under a canopy of stars.

A wedding on a private island offers serenity, intimacy, and wonder, creating a precious memory in a beautifully preserved paradise. The Parrot Cay Resort in the Turks and Caicos, an exclusive retreat where Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner celebrated their wedding in 2005, serves as a perfect example of such an enchanting destination.

Hawaii: The Sophisticated Paradise

For festivities that transcends the extraordinary, Hawaii stands as the epitome of luxury and beauty. On these volcanic islands, nature itself conspires to provide a setting of unparalleled splendor.

Offer your guests the privilege of a private yacht cruise to a secluded beach, where a dazzling fireworks display awaits them. In Hawaii, your union becomes timeless.

For a truly unforgettable experience, venues like the Haiku Mill in Maui offer an enchanting blend of lush tropical beauty and historic charm, providing the perfect backdrop for a wedding steeped in elegance and romance.

India: The Royal Luxury of a Palace

For a wedding straight out of the Arabian Nights, India opens the doors to its majestic palaces. Imagine an opulent setting where every detail—from intricate frescoes to gilded accents—reflects a sophisticated and harmonious way of life. Beneath grand arches, in the heart of blooming gardens, exchange your vows in an enchanting atmosphere of unrivalled splendor.

A wedding in an Indian palace is love elevated by spirituality and history. The extravagant wedding of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur remains etched in memory as an iconic celebration of grandeur and romance.

Tuscany: The Refined Charm of Italian Vineyards

In the heart of Tuscany’s gentle hills, say “I do” surrounded by centuries-old vineyards and olive groves. The golden light washing over the landscape, the delicate fragrances of nature, and the Italian art of living make this destination a haven for lovers seeking timeless and epicurean luxury.

Imagine, for example, an intimate ceremony followed by a starlit dinner accompanied by the finest local wines. Tuscany promises a wedding filled with charm, refinement, and naturality. The renowned chef Jamie Oliver and his childhood sweetheart, Juliette ‘Jools’ Norton, tied the knot in Tuscany at the picturesque Villa Le Fontanelle near Florence, surrounded by the region’s timeless beauty.

Luxe Wedding Destinations in Provence: The Refined Rusticity of Southern France

Provence, with its rolling lavender fields and unmistakable stone farmhouses, embodies elegant rustic charm. Here, every wedding immerses guests in an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity.

Imagine a ceremony in an ancient chapel or under the open sky, surrounded by cypress trees, vineyards and natural elegance, perfect for those seeking simple yet refined luxury. It was here, in the heart of the village of Les Baux-de-Provence, that Jean Reno married Zofia Borucka in 2006—a union that remains strong to this day. A good sign, don’t you think?

Polynesia: The Ultimate Luxury of Bora Bora

For a wedding in paradise, Bora Bora is unmatched. Its crystal-clear lagoons, white sandy beaches, and overwater bungalows install an idyllic setting to celebrate your union. Every detail exudes exclusivity and refined quality. Exchange your vows with the ocean as your witness, and let the Polynesian enchantment transform your ceremony into something extraordinary. Nicole Kidman and Alyssa Milano both chose the St. Regis Bora Bora Resort for their honeymoons.

South Africa: The Adventure of a Safari Lodge

For those with a spirit of adventure, a wedding at a South African safari lodge offers an incredible experience. Surrounded by majestic wildlife, with the distant roar of lions and breathtaking sunsets, your union becomes a powerful and unique journey.

It’s a blend of untamed nature and luxury that delivers an incomparable celebration, much like the iconic Bosjes Chapel with its stunning architecture.

New York: The Glamour of a Historic Hotel

For a wedding that blends glamour and modernity, New York offers iconic venues such as its historic Plaza Hotel or The Pierre. In the heart of the city that never sleeps, you’re surrounded by history, culture and the greatest movie sets, except that today, you’re the star. With its mix of classic elegance and contemporary energy, New York is the perfect destination for discerning couples—just like Kate Winslet, who chose the Big Apple in 2012 to marry Ned RocknRoll, the nephew of Richard Branson.

Japan: The Zen Luxury of a Traditional Ryokan

For a wedding filled with tranquility, intimacy and spirituality, a Japanese ryokan provides the perfect setting. These traditional inns, surrounded by serene zen gardens and quiet mountains, offer a peaceful atmosphere for your union. Imagine an intimate ceremony in a tatami room, followed by a kaiseki feast, celebrating both love and harmony. If you’re visiting the country, be sure to explore the High-Rise Ryokan Hoshinoya in Tokyo.

The Art of Provençal Weddings: Where Heritage Meets Refinement

In Provence, your wedding becomes a work of art where the extraordinary subtly blends with the timeless. In this southern gem bathed in golden light, every moment is imbued with a singular aura. Intimate venues, such as a bastide nestled in the heart of vineyards or a secret clearing in the Provençal woods, transform into enchanting backdrops for your special day. Your celebration takes on the allure of an artistic performance, enhanced by talented creators. A renowned chef skillfully reinvents the flavors of the terroir, while a fashion designer turns your gown into a unique masterpiece and a scenographer transforms the space into a poetic composition.

Your guests, captivated by this multisensory experience, are transported into a dreamlike world that transcends the ordinary. Every detail is carefully crafted to awaken the senses and evoke wonder.

In Provence, your union becomes the epitome of intangible luxury, a harmony of precious emotions that will forever mark the memories. In the heart of this land that magnifies authenticity, you don’t just say yes; you inscribe your story into the legend of Provence with refinement and poetry.
