Dream Wedding Venues

As you start to plan your perfect wedding day, one of the first things to think about is your wedding venue. Whether you want to throw a luxurious wedding day in Ireland or jump on a plane and have a stunning destination wedding, take a look at some of our favourite standout venues from around the world.

An Underwater Wedding at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island

If you want a dream destination wedding then how about getting married underwater in the Maldives? At Conrad Maldives Rangali Island couples can say ‘I do’ in the spectacular underwater restaurant — a glass dome surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and tropical fish.

The ceremony begins when the bride is carried to the restaurant in a traditional hammock in a procession. If the couple choose to make a grand entrance, the resort can arrange traditional Maldivian drummers to accompany the bride. The ceremony, conducted in English, can be tailored to include speeches or personalised vows by the couple and includes Maldivian touches such as a garland of flowers to unite the couple as well as the international wedding traditions of cake cutting and a celebratory glass of champagne. After taking their vows, couples board a traditional wooden sailing boat and cruise into the sunset for a romantic journey as husband and wife.

Those preferring to say ‘I do’ on land can choose from two beachfront ceremonies: the Chapel of Love Ceremony, which is set in an elegant thatched roof pavilion on the edge of the lagoon ablaze with banners, or the White Sands Wedding, which takes place barefoot on the silky soft white sands overlooking the ocean, complete with an ‘aisle’ of palm leaves.
