What to expect from a beach wedding
Year-round destinations
There’s no need to book your big day and cross your fingers for sunshine with our year-round destinations.

Your ceremony, your way
Fancy doing the legal bit in the UK and having a symbolic ceremony or a ceremony on the beach? Or, how about doing the full shebang on the sands by having a legal ceremony? Both are on the cards, plus vow renewals and same-sex ceremonies, too.
