5 Swoon Worthy Places for Destination Weddings

One of the most special trips to plan are destination weddings. For so many brides the idea of having their wedding in a beautiful place away from home sounds like a dream but can easily become overwhelmed with planning it all. I truly believe that everyone should have the wedding of their dreams so much that I plan destination weddings, including bachelor/bachelorette parties for free.

I know, it sounds bananas. There’s no hidden fees or loopholes.

So, that being said, where do you want to marry your best friend?

Here are my best places for destination weddings. If you’re dream spot isn’t on this list, don’t worry we can still plan it all (down to every nitty gritty detail that’s stressing you out!)

It’s time to vacay like royalty in the amazing city of London. One of the best parts of traveling here is that there is so much to see and do. One of my favorites is always jumping on the London Eye. Getting to see a full view of the city from above never gets old.

Group Trip to Rome Northcutt Travel Agency with Shayla Norhcutt

Rome

The foodie in me goes wild when we take group trips to Rome. Pizza, gelato, pasta…it’s everything you’ve dreamed it to be and more. Something fun that my friends and I have done before was taking the electric bike tour. It was not only incredible but it left us with so many fun and hilarious memories of riding around the town.

Group+Trip+to+Peru+Northcutt+Travel+Agency+with+Shayla+Northcutt

Peru

Visiting Peru is like finding a secret treasure that people don’t talk about nearly as much as it deserves. Exploring Machu Picchu with my friends was one of the most amazing experiences. If you do decide to go, be sure to purchase your Machu Picchu tickets in advance as they have a daily person limit to get in.

Group Surfing Trip to Hawaii Northcutt Travel Agency with Shayla Northcutt

Thailand

Thailand is the hidden gem you never knew you had to see. Not only is this trip one of the most affordable trips to take (letting you live like royalty!), it’s also one of the most beautiful places filled with the kindest locals. Railay is one of the most beautiful and serene beaches that you won’t want to leave off of your itinerary.
