The Grand Canyon is a bucket-list destination for many – and guess what?! You can actually get married there, too! With eight stunning outdoor ceremony sites across the North and South Rim, plus a handful of charming park lodges, this natural wonder doubles as a jaw-dropping wedding venue. A local officiant will lead the ceremony, surrounded by one of the most iconic landscapes on earth. Pro tip: only one wedding is allowed per location per day, so the National Park Service strongly recommends kicking off the planning (and permit process) at least a year in advance.
Oh, Myyyykonos! This Greek island is already a dream come true for couples – but it’s also a seriously stylish spot to tie the knot. Take the chic Grecotel Lolita boutique hotel, for example. It even features its own charming wedding chapel, glowing in that signature Cycladic white that competes with the bride’s dress for brilliance. Sun, sea, and stunning "I do" vibes? Yes, please.

By the ocean but far from your typical beach wedding: welcome to paradise at Rosewood Las Ventanas al Paraíso!

Time to dive in – literally! In Mauritius, couples can actually exchange their vows underwater.

The details are carefully planned in advance, of course. These one-of-a-kind underwater weddings often take place off the coast of Grand Baie, with guests watching the magic unfold from a cozy little submarine.
