Featured Destinations

The most sought-after in the collection.

From the shores of Lake Como to the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, Italy remains the world's most sought-after destination for luxury weddings. Villa gardens, lakeside palazzi, Sicilian estates, Venetian piano nobile rooms. No other country concentrates this level of beauty, history, and hospitality in a single geography.

Castle estates, Cotswold manor houses, Highland lochs, and Cornish cliff-tops. Britain offers the widest range of wedding venue character of any country in Europe. The finest properties combine centuries of architectural history with a standard of hospitality that is entirely contemporary.

Provencal chateaux, Loire Valley estates, and the refined grandeur of the French countryside have drawn couples from across the world for generations. France rewards those who plan carefully: the venues at the top of the market are among the most beautiful in existence.

Whitewashed clifftop chapels, Aegean light, and a warmth of place that every other Mediterranean destination tries to imitate. Greece has been the backdrop for significant weddings for three thousand years. The best of the modern luxury venues have learned to honour that.

Atlantic manor estates, the vine terraces of the Douro Valley, and the warm stone of the Alentejo plains. Portugal offers exceptional value at the top end of the market and a hospitality culture that is genuinely warm rather than merely professional.

Andalusian fincas, Balearic coastlines, and the great paradores of Castile. Spain is a country of dramatic contrasts: from intimate whitewashed cortijos in the hills above Granada to vast seaside estates on the Costa Brava.

From the Burj Khalifa to a private island wildlife reserve, the UAE offers the widest range of luxury wedding environments of any single country. Downtown Dubai, the Palm Jumeirah, the Hajar Mountains of Ras Al Khaimah, and the desert outside the city: nine distinct destinations within two hours of a single airport.

Clifftop resort above Lake Lucerne, the Matterhorn, Badrutt's Palace, the UNESCO Lavaux vineyards. Switzerland concentrates more immediately recognisable luxury imagery per square kilometre than any other country in Europe. The train network, the food, and the light at altitude make it one of the most complete destination wedding countries in the world.

La Mamounia, the Royal Mansour, Kasbah du Toubkal above Imlil, sand dunes at Erg Chebbi. Morocco offers a depth of visual contrast that no other North African destination approaches: medina riads, Atlas Mountain kasbahs, Atlantic coast ramparts, and Saharan luxury camps within a single country.

The old city of Dubrovnik enclosed by its walls, Hvar harbour at dusk, the Zlatni Rat beach on Brac, Istrian hill towns above the Adriatic. Croatia is the fastest-rising luxury destination in Europe, and the best venues are booking three years ahead.

Amangalla in Galle Fort, Ceylon Tea Trails across five historic bungalows in the hill country, clifftop suites above the Indian Ocean. Sri Lanka is one of the most under-represented destination wedding countries in the world relative to the quality of its venues.

The Four Seasons at Sayan above the Ayung River gorge, the BVLGARI Resort at Uluwatu, Mandapa in the jungle above Ubud. Bali has more internationally recognised luxury wedding venues per square kilometre than any island in the world.

Palais Coburg in Vienna, Schloss Leopoldskron in Salzburg, the Kempinski in the Tyrol, Schloss Fuschl on the Salzkammergut lakes. Austria is the most underestimated luxury destination in central Europe: imperial grandeur, precision hospitality, and landscape of the highest order.

Aman Sveti Stefan on its own island, Palazzo Radomiri on the Bay of Kotor, Regent Porto Montenegro at Europe's finest superyacht marina. Montenegro has more luxury hotel infrastructure per kilometre of coastline than anywhere in the Mediterranean, and it remains genuinely undiscovered.

The Xara Palace within the walls of Mdina, Ta'Cenc above the Gozitan cliffs, Palazzo Parisio in Naxxar. Malta is unique: a sovereign island nation of extraordinary historical density, three hours from London, with legal marriage available at historic palaces and baroque chapels that cannot be replicated anywhere else.

The vineyard estates of Napa Valley, oceanfront mansions in the Hamptons, the cliffs above the Pacific at Big Sur, and the grand ballrooms of The Plaza and The Breakers. America's luxury wedding landscape spans from Charleston's antebellum plantation houses to Maui's lava coast, from Aspen's wildflower meadows to Sedona's red rock formations. No other country offers this range of landscape, climate, and venue character within a single destination.
