Whether the recession is biting and you need to rein in your spending, or you’re one of the lucky ones with pots of cash to splash on your big day, we have a range of packages to make your wedding special.
Your big day needn’t suffer just because of the credit crunch. There are plenty of glamorous options that won’t break the bank. The picturesque island of Rhodes is the perfect location for a sun kissed ceremony and we can offer a wedding package for just £299, where you can say “I do” in front of a white-washed Greek chapel by the crystal clear sea of St Paul’s Bay.
Legend has it that Aphrodite, the goddess of love, arose from the sea off the southwest coast of Cyprus, and the island’s mix of sandy beaches, dramatic mountains and fascinating history makes it the perfect location for romance. Seven nights at the four-star Hotel Laura Beach in Paphos costs £595 per person all inclusive and a civil wedding costs £399. This can take place in the hotel gardens, with cake, sparkling wine and a massage included.
Those who love bright lights and a little bit of kitsch can make like Joan Collins, Judy Garland or the late, great Paul Newman and get hitched at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, where weddings start at £205. They can even arrange for Elvis (or at least a man who looks like him) to make a guest appearance. We can also offer the bride and groom seven nights at the four-star Luxor and flights from Heathrow for £728 each. While in Vegas, the happy couple will be able to give the roulette wheel a whirl or visit the Grand Canyon.
If you play your cards right, you might not have to pay anything for your wedding at all – providing, of course, you spend enough on your honeymoon. Couples who spend 13 nights or more in a beachfront Cabana at the Long Bay Beach Resort on Tortola, the largest of the British Virgin Islands, get a wedding ceremony thrown in. You can feel the sand between your toes as you say your vows by getting wed on the beach, or say “I do” on a terrace overlooking the pristine coast. The resort is set in a 52-acre estate, so you’ll have plenty of privacy. 14 nights at Long Bay from £1961 per person, including flights, transfers and the wedding.
Singing diva Mariah Carey married TV actor Nick Cannon in the Bahamas after a whirlwind one-month romance. They tied the knot on the seven-mile long Windermere Island, which sits off the mainland of Eleuthera. Golf legend Greg Norman and tennis star Chris Evert also wed on the islands in a sunset ceremony. Swim with the Dolphins on Paradise Island or off Nassau and Grand Bahama Island or recharge your batteries on the sleepy and secluded Out Islands, of which there are over 300. Snorkelers will love its fish-rich clear waters while divers can explore the wreck sites off the coasts of San Salvador.
RnB star Beyonce Knowles exchanged vows with rapper Jay-Z at his apartment in the Big Apple in April. New York wows tourists with its top shopping and lively nightlife plus top sights such as the shimmering Chrysler Building and the Statue of Liberty. There are a huge number of wedding venues to choose from. Think Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, the iconic Grand Central Terminal or 55 floors up in the Empire State Building.
