Most Unique Destinations for Weddings

Do you want a destination wedding but not the kind where the name of the resort is on the bottom of the pool?  Here are some unique choices for destination weddings (and tell them a.muse sent you).  Of course, this is just a flavor.  I have many, many more destinations that I've either personally been to, or can vouch for.  If you are planning a destination wedding, drop me a line and I'd be happy to help!


The Inn at Palmetto Bluff in Bluffton, South Carolina

In the beautiful South Carolina low country, near Savanna and Hilton Head Island, the Inn at Palmetto Bluff has gourmet catering and award winning accommodations in a sumptuous location.  They have a darling chapel on the premises, bicycles to ride and take photos with, marshmallow roasting at night, a lovely pool, even a private yacht charter that can accomodate 28 guests for a little party the night before.  I recommend taking in the award winning spa for the ladies and canoeing for the guys on the day of the wedding.  Hand fans out to your guests, encourage hats, and have a charming southern wedding.  A very unique and luxurious setting!  Take a little scroll through their wedding slide shows here.

The Canouan Resort at Carenage Bay, The Grenadines

If a beach wedding with white sand beaches on a remote island that is more your speed, try the Island of Canouan, which means Island of Turtles.  Belonging to St. Vincent, Canouan is only 3.5 miles by 1.25 miles.  Also with a chapel onsite for your ceremony (if you choose not to have it right on the beach), the romance begins there, the 19th century church that brought stone by stone from England.  With ocean front pool suites to provide the bride and groom with some privacy, spectacular golf resorts for the men, and an over water spa for the girls, your guests would NEVER forget this wedding!  Watch a youtube slideshow of images here.

Four Seasons Hotel in Istanbul at the Bosporus, Turkey

Were you thinking of something more exotic?  Did you know that Istanbul is the wedding capitol of the world?  There are so many Istanbul hotels to choose from, but with a spa inspired by the public baths of ancient Rome, the Four Seasons on the Bosporus has a unique couples hammam experience.  Schedule a tour of the romantic city for your guests, and skip to your honeymoon in the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts visiting the beautiful town of Kas or the Greek Islands (or both).  An exotic experience for sure!
