Travel InformationSay ‘I do’ with a same-sex wedding
We’ve got the perfect venue, whether you’re planning a legal or symbolic ceremony.
Rings at the ready
So, you and your partner have your hearts set on making things official abroad. You’re planning a same-sex wedding at a hotel or a local venue, and you want it to be everything you’ve ever dreamed of. That’s where we come in…
When you and your partner get married with TUI, you can walk down the aisle on a palm-peppered beach, at the top of a Medieval castle or in a historic town hall. Both legal and symbolic ceremonies are on the cards, and you’ll have our experts’ help every step of the way. What’s not to love?
What to expect from a same-sex wedding
Destinations near and far
Get married in places like Italy, Croatia and Cyprus to channel Euro summer. Or push the boat out and pick somewhere like Mauritius or Thailand for your big day. They’re all on the cards, along with a handful of Spanish and Greek islands.
Lots of venues to choose from
If you want to have everything all in one place, you can host your wedding at a hotel. Our venues have the likes of sandy shores, pine-peppered gardens and sea-view terraces. Otherwise, choose from the likes of a waterfront castle and a town hall built on Roman remains.
A range of ceremony types
Opt for a legal ceremony, and you can celebrate your love and sign on the dotted line all in the same day. Don’t want the legal stuff to burst your just-married bubble? Stick with a symbolic ceremony and sort all that out when you’re in the UK.

Venues to say ‘I do’ at
Here’s our venue highlights reel – take a look, and see which ones take your fancy.
Malcesine Castle, Italy
Have a wedding fit for a fairy tale at Malcesine Castle. It’s perched on a cliffside overlooking Lake Garda, where you’ll see boats bobbing along the turquoise-coloured water. And it offers legal ceremonies.
Atlantica Imperial Resort, Rhodes
Look out to the Aegean Sea when you get married at this beachfront hotel, which also boasts lagoon-style pools. Legal ceremonies are held on a water-facing terrace, right on the shortbread-coloured shores or inside a windmill that gives off Mamma Mia vibes.

Riu Palace Riviera Maya, Mexico
Get that toes-in-the-sand feeling while you waltz down the aisle at this palm-peppered hotel. Have your legal ceremony here, and you can make things official on the beach. Or save the sand for post-wedding suntanning and tie the knot under a gazebo.

The Communal Palace, Pula Town Hall, Croatia
Say ‘I do’ just steps away from Pula’s famous colosseum when you pick the Communal Palace or Pula Town Hall for your ceremony venue. It’s right in the city centre, and hosts legal weddings.
Princess Inspire, Tenerife
Have your symbolic ceremony at this whitewashed hotel on the Costa Adeje coast. You’ll exchange vows up on the terrace, or inside the window-walled solarium facing the turquoise-tiled pool – it’s one of three outdoor swimming spots here.

Riu Turquoise, Mauritius
You’ll look like you’re stood on icing sugar when you have your just-married photoshoot at this glitzy hotel. It offers symbolic ceremonies on the white-sand beach, and a string of dining spots done up in jewel tones for meals during your downtime.

Apsara Beachfront Resort and Villa, Thailand
Weddings are geared towards nature-lovers at this modern hotel. Have your symbolic ceremony down on the sand, or swap the sound of the waves for trees blowing in the breeze by saying ‘I do’ in the pine tree garden or on the manicured lawns.

Zafiro Palace Alcudia
This neutral-themed hotel with a pair of pools offers two outdoor venues suitable for symbolic ceremonies. One’s a garden, and the other’s a terrace – and they’re both totally private. It doesn’t get more romantic than that…

Pernera Beach Hotel, Cyprus
When you get married here, you’ll have a symbolic ceremony in a dedicated wedding pavilion. And because there’s just a patch of lawn separating the hotel from the beach, you can have the sand and sea in the background of your wedding snaps.
