Top 10 Destination Wedding Resorts Overview
If you’re going to the chapel and you’re going to get married, it’s a prime time to take a look at our list of Top 10 Destination Wedding Resorts. From intimate island gatherings on a white sand beach to a whopping extravaganza in a ballroom overlooking the beautiful snow-covered Rockies, we can help you find the perfect place to say “I do.” Get hitched in Hill Country or zoom your bride or groom to Eureka Springs to say your vows at a venue with a view. And if tying the knot suddenly makes you or your partner tongue-tied, don’t fret; the resorts and hotels featured on this list are amazing romantic destinations for the non-betrothed, too!
Trois Estate At Enchanted Rock - Fredericksburg, Texas
Hand-built to reflect the ancient architecture of a Santa Fe-style adobe village and the romantic ambiance of a seaside Tuscan village, Trois Estate breaks the mold when it comes to romantic rendezvous. Here, you and yours can exchange vows in a small, candlelit cathedral decorated only by a small cluster of age-old wooden pews and antique marble fireplace. Don’t fret if your family can’t fit in the 50-person church, however, because Trois Estate’s Old World courtyard and event hall can hold groups up to 300. The rooftop veranda and wine bar is yet another wedding venue option at this European-style estate, and once you see the gorgeous panoramic views of the surrounding Hill Country and the pink-hued Enchanted Rock rising from the landscape off in the distance, you won’t want to be anywhere else!

Dunton Hot Springs Resort and Spa - Dolores, Colorado
What sounds more glorious than marrying your loved one in an open-air chapel next to a vibrant waterfall with the San Juan Mountains as a backdrop? Having your cherished friends and family there to celebrate with you, of course! With 11 cabins and one 10-person house tucked gently into the mountainside, there’s plenty of room for groups of less than 50. It will be hard to leave this historic site, strewn with 1800s structures – cabins, the saloon and the dance hall – restored to their former beauty. And you’ll surely miss the iron and manganese-rich hot springs, known for its healing powers! If you decide that this Colorado jewel is honeymoon-worthy (and you will), try the Honeymoon and Anniversary Celebration package and stay in the Well House with its very own private indoor hot spring and cold plunge!
The Resort at Glade Springs - Daniels, West Virginia
Just because this resort offers smoothly-powdered slopes for skiing, top-ranking golf courses and rip-roaring whitewater rafting trips down the New and Gauley Rivers doesn’t mean you can’t have a relaxing, laidback time at Glade Springs if you want. But we guarantee once you see all the outdoor pursuits you can partake in year round, you’ll want to stay for longer than the serene ceremony. And your friends and family will surely agree! But more about that ceremony – a pristinely-manicured lawn surrounded by the rolling West Virginia terrain will be the setting for your nuptials. And with a handful of indoor reception options, you’ll definitely find the right fit for your group!

Mountain Lodge at Telluride - Telluride, Colorado
Intimacy, beauty, luxury – what more could you ask for when planning your wedding? That’s why this Colorado resort is a perfect nuptial destination. While the space is limited to around 60 people in The View – Mountain Lodge’s elegantly-rustic restaurant with to-die-for views of the San Juan Mountains – your cozy winter ceremony and reception will be well worth trimming the guest list. Or, if you must invite all your second, third and fourth cousins, a summertime ceremony on the manicured lawn in the clean mountain air is a great alternative! Don’t worry about finding your relatives a place to stay for the wedding, either! Mountain Lodge’s diverse accommodations include luxe guestrooms, suites, condos and cabins richly decorated in a Western motif and ready for your big day!

ME Cancun - Cancun
From the moment you step into ME Cancun, you’ll forget what life was like outside this luxe temple of art, design, music and incredible cuisine. While the resort offers both set and customized packages that allow you to choose where you can have your ceremony, we can hardly believe you’d pick anywhere besides the beyond-beautiful oceanfront terrace overlooking the turquoise gulf waters. From there, it’s on to cocktail parties, dinner and dancing within the walls of the resort or under the vibrant stars. Lucky for you newlyweds, The Rise Package allows you an intimate first morning as an official married couple with breakfast in bed and special recovery cocktails while your guests are gathered at the onsite SALT Restaurant for brunch.
