The day you become husband and wife is a life-changer and will stay in your memory forever. And of course, you want it to be special. Wedding Venues
For couples willing to take things up an adrenaline-packed notch or two, we hunted down some truly hair-raising options for locations to tie the knot. And, of course, a few softer options for the true romantics out there.
Castaway Bliss
If you really, truly yearn for a private, personal ceremony with just a few select friends and family, why not take off to a deserted island?
Docastaway specializes in arranging weddings in a wide range of locations, but we also think you could do some exploring yourself. We know that there are approximately 6000 tiny Greek islands that are virtually uninhabited, so that should be inspiration enough.
Head to the Mountains
While you may not want to make the 8-day trek to the top of Mt. Everest to get hitched, as a US couple did in 2017, there are plenty of closer and less challenging options to be had that are equally stunning. Wedding Venues
Consider having your wedding photo shoot on Egypt’s own St. Catherine, where, although the ceremony needs to be carried out in a more traditional way beforehand, it can still be your own very special moment, close to the heavens and away from the crowds.
Palatial Splendor
Feel like royalty for a day by tying the knot at one of England’s iconic royal castles. Choose from Kensington Palace, Kew Palace and Hampton Court Palace. Explore further at https://www.hrp.org.uk/hire-a-venue/weddings
Up, Up and Away
Taking off all over the world, hot-air balloons are the new thing for adventure-seeking couples wanting something a little different as a wedding venue.
Luxor is already on the map as a spectacular balloon destination, so what about a pledge of love, stunning aerial views of some of the most beautiful sites dating back to antiquity, and idyllic weather to boot. Could it be dreamier?
Outer Space
Richard Branson has opened up bookings again for space flights with Virgin Galactic. Apparently, at least two couples have already signed up to have their nuptials performed in space. Wedding Venues
Priced at around USD $450,000 a ticket, this is not for the faint-hearted or the budget-minded. Package options include single seats, family groups, groups of friends, or you can even book out the whole flight.
The Most Chilled Wedding Possible
Short of heading for Antarctica, which has already been done by the way, why not consider exchanging vows in an ice cave? One of the most sought-after spots is Langjökull in Iceland. It involves traveling along a glacier to reach the mystical ice cave, but expert local wedding planners are available to take care of all the details.
Become a Part of History
One of London’s best-known landmarks, the Tower of London is better known for its history as a prison for famous figures than as a chic wedding venue. But times are changing. You can now have your nuptials at this astounding location.
To the best of our knowledge, the Crown Jewels are not available for hire, although they are handily on site.
Underwater Bliss
With many sites across the world providing clear turquoise water and a lively marine environment, underwater weddings are becoming all the rage. Generally lasting around 15 minutes, the bride and groom can hand-signal their vows before heading to the surface to party on with beachside celebrations.
The best news is that many couples have already taken advantage of Egypt’s beautiful Red Sea for their wedding venue, so there is no need to travel too far!
Taking the Plunge
New Zealanders are known to be a bit wacky at times, so we shouldn’t be surprised to see that bungy-jumping weddings are becoming a ‘thing’. It goes without saying that all the safety precautions have to be in place, but New Zealand has been in the business for years and boasts some awe-inspiring spots. Wedding Venues
If a local jump is more what you have in mind, check out Bungy Egypt’s Facebook page to learn more. Say your vows on the platform, then 1-2-3 go!
