DESTINATION WEDDING IN EUROPE
Choosing Europe as the destination for your micro wedding (or big wedding) is a decision that comes with numerous advantages, but three standout reasons to consider are:
Timeless Romance and Diverse Settings
Europe boasts an unparalleled treasure chest of romantic settings, from the historic charm of Venetian gondolas to fairytale castles in France and the breathtaking island idylls of Greece. Each country offers a unique ambiance, providing couples with the opportunity to customize their wedding experience based on their unique preferences. Whether you envision a classic, traditional ceremony or a more modern, more chic affair, Europe’s diversity of landscapes, cultures and architecture can accommodate every style of wedding.
Rich History and Culture
Getting married in Europe allows you to enjoy the rich history and culture that permeate the continent. Famous cathedrals, ancient ruins, and centuries-old castles can serve as magnificent backdrops for your ceremony, creating a sense of timeless elegance. Your wedding becomes not just a celebration of your love but also a journey through the cultural tapestry of your chosen European destination. This blend of history and romance creates a magical and unforgettable atmosphere.
Gastronomic Delights and Culinary Experiences
Europe is renowned for its exquisite and varied cuisine, and a destination wedding provides the perfect opportunity to indulge in the gastronomic delights of the region. Whether it’s a French wine and cheese reception, an Italian feast, or a Spanish tapas banquet, the culinary traditions of Europe will elevate your wedding festivities. The emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients, combined with the artistry of European chefs, will create a memorable dining experience for you and your guests.
Family and friends
Probably you think about to find the good reasons to give to have your relatives and families with you. We prepared a list of arguments to think about and to present to them, here.
DESTINATION WEDDING PACKAGE
Let us create your tailor-made Europe Destination Wedding
Do you dream of a destination wedding in Europe? Whether your ideal is an elegant, chic, boho, whimsical, princely, fantasy, or glamorous affair, the perfect backdrop for your ceremony is waiting for you in one of our 9 European countries.
Imagine saying ‘I do’ on a majestic cliff overlooking the Mediterranean and then enjoying the luxury and relaxed atmosphere of any gorgeous city or island, each one with its own unique flair and aesthetic. If you are art or history lovers, you could exchange your vows in front of iconic buildings such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Coliseum in Rome, or Sintra’s palace in Portugal. And if you want to feel regal and princely, the chic, jaw-dropping architecture or lush romantic gardens of cities like Barcelona, Florence, or Dubrovnik will make you feel like royals from another time.
We have carefully curated the finest destinations and designed five unique wedding packages for each location, catering to all you need for a successful destination wedding in Europe. But this is just the start! Once you choose your desired package, we will customize the entire experience to beautifully express your love story and create everlasting memories. We can add as many extras as you can envision, or find more exclusive private venues, for an extra fee.
Large scale vs micro wedding or small wedding
A micro wedding retains the essence of a traditional wedding but on a much smaller scale. Key elements like the venue, guest list, wedding party, and catering are all more intimate, creating a more personal and meaningful experience. What truly sets a micro wedding apart is its intentional departure from the grandeur of a large-scale celebration, focusing instead on quality over quantity. With our packages and the help fo your coordinator, organize your Micro Wedding as a small celebration with big love. By embracing the beauty of smaller celebrations, micro weddings offer a chance for couples to create meaningful, stylish, and unforgettable experiences tailored to their love story.
