Gay Wedding Abroad

You’ve asked your partner to marry you. Now what? Will it be tranquil beach waters splashing beside you in Mexico as you say “I do”? Or the chime of church bells in a gothic cathedral in Europe when you proclaim your union? Deciding where and how to plan a gay wedding abroad is everything. Having the internet at your fingertips makes browsing destinations and generating ideas easier. You’ll soon discover the possibilities are endless.

If the thought of warm, white beach sand sprinkled with an aisle of tropical flowers piques your interest, then a beach wedding is for you. Before making any financial commitments, it’s important to do your homework.

First and foremost, find out what the local laws are regarding same-sex marriage. Many beautiful and popular destinations do not recognize it.

If you’re considering a wedding in a warmer climate, Mexico, particularly Cancun or the Mayan Riviera, is an excellent choice. In the state of Quintana Roo, same-sex marriage is legal and widely accepted. Before booking a hotel, we recommend consulting our LGBTQ+ travel experts, as many accommodations offer special rates and packages for lesbian and gay weddings.

Combine Your Honeymoon!

A destination wedding is also a wonderful way to combine your gay wedding ceremony and honeymoon. Resorts are eager to host your wedding and be your honeymoon destination, while others may invite a large group.

Plan Your Gay Wedding Guest List

When planning your wedding, remember that some people may be unable to attend due to work or financial constraints. If you decide to do a destination wedding, having a family celebration upon return would be a wonderful way to include the family members who could not attend. Most Canadian tour operators have promotions for gay weddings. Sometimes, you can hold up to 40 seats for 120 days with just a $300 deposit. This will allow you time to send your invitations and have your guests RSVP.

Create Your Wedding Website

A great way to keep your guests informed about your gay wedding is to create a wedding website. Your site can give your guests something to look forward to when your date is far into the future. It will also allow some guests to give you a wedding gift through an online registration system. This is great for any couple who has everything yet could use extra funds for their magical destination wedding.
