Planning a wedding is always about choices, but few choices feel as defining as where you say “I do.” For couples looking beyond their hometown, a destination wedding offers not just a venue, but an entire experience — an atmosphere that frames the start of married life in unforgettable ways.

At Andrew Roby Events, we’re seeing couples in 2026 lean into destinations that combine luxury, culture, and natural beauty. Whether it’s a lakeside villa, a sun-soaked island, or a European city steeped in history, these locations promise more than beautiful photos — they promise memories that will live forever.

Here are our top five picks for luxury destination wedding locations in 2026.


1. Lake Como, Italy

It’s hard to talk about destination weddings without mentioning Lake Como. Known for its iconic villas, sweeping alpine views, and timeless romance, this Italian jewel remains a top choice for couples who want glamour wrapped in history. A lakeside ceremony followed by dinner under the stars feels cinematic, and the luxury accommodations nearby ensure every guest feels like royalty.

2. Amalfi Coast, Italy

The Amalfi Coast offers a different flavor of Italian romance. Think cliffside terraces, colorful seaside villages, and ceremonies framed by the Mediterranean. Amalfi weddings often stretch into multi-day celebrations — a boat ride for guests one day, a sunset dinner the next. The coast’s natural drama, paired with Italian hospitality, makes it an unforgettable setting.


3. Paris, France

The City of Light has long been synonymous with romance. In 2026, Paris is attracting couples who want the sophistication of a European capital paired with iconic backdrops — from intimate courtyard ceremonies to receptions inside gilded ballrooms. Beyond the wedding itself, Paris offers a guest experience like no other, with world-class dining, art, and history at every turn.

Guests can spend mornings in yoga retreats, afternoons exploring rice terraces, and evenings celebrating love in open-air pavilions. Bali turns weddings into full-immersion experiences.


5. The Caribbean Islands

The Caribbean continues to be a favorite for couples who want a mix of accessibility and tropical luxury. From private resorts in St. Lucia to historic estates in Jamaica, the region offers variety without compromising on beauty.
