Here’s Why a U.S. Destination Wedding Might Be Exactly What You’re Looking For
When most people think “destination wedding,” their minds wander to sandy Caribbean shores or romantic European escapes. But here’s a little secret—you don’t have to leave the country to have a wedding that feels like a getaway.
In fact, some of the most stunning, unique, and meaningful weddings I help plan happen right here in the United States.
If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding but prefer to stay closer to home (whether for ease, budget, or simply because you love what the U.S. has to offer), let me tell you—you have incredible options.
Picture This…
🌲 A Twilight-Inspired Wedding in the Pacific Northwest
Imagine saying “I do” surrounded by towering evergreens and moody mist, just like Bella and Edward. Places like Forks, Washington, offer that exact magic—for couples who want a little fantasy mixed with their fairytale.
🏞 A National Park Elopement or Vow Exchange
From the red rocks of Zion to the epic backdrops of Yosemite or the Great Smoky Mountains, National Parks are awe-inspiring places to begin your forever. Perfect for couples who crave nature, adventure, and jaw-dropping views.
🏖 A Beach Wedding Without a Passport
Love the idea of your toes in the sand? Coastal spots in Florida, California, the Carolinas, and even the Gulf Coast offer gorgeous venues—and your guests won’t need to pack a passport to join you.
🏙 A Sophisticated City Wedding in NYC or Chicago
Say your vows with a skyline view, take wedding portraits in iconic spots, and dance the night away in a rooftop venue that captures the energy of your favorite U.S. city.
🎰 A Las Vegas Wedding (But Classy!)
Yes, Vegas weddings can be quick and quirky—but they can also be chic, stylish, and surprisingly romantic. From luxury resorts to desert backdrops, there’s so much more to a Vegas wedding than Elvis chapels (unless that’s your vibe—then we can do that too!).
🌆 A Wedding in a City That Feels Like “You”
Maybe there’s a U.S. city that holds a special place in your heart—where you had your first trip together, where you met, or where your family is from. A wedding there combines meaning, accessibility, and that perfect destination feel.
