The most sought-after luxury and the biggest draw is the lure of Destination Wedding. And then the question to seek an answer for is – Where?
Why are destination weddings popular?
The recent study and market trends show that most couples wish for a more intimate and memorable wedding, surrounded by their close family and friends, at a place far away from home, to celebrate their special union.
Instead of the old, formal, and traditional weddings in pandals and banquets, they want to spend money on creating experiences and moments. Destination weddings are the perfect canvas to do that. It takes you away from the stress of your city and calls for an intimate celebration in the presence of dear and loved ones with memories that last for a lifetime.
But then, which is the perfect destination location?
