Ariana and Michael exchanged vows on the Villa Pompeiana terrace overlooking the Gulf of Naples, kept the decor to white florals and understated tablescapes, and, after midnight, led their guests through an ancient stone passage to continue dancing inside a cave carved into the Sorrento cliffs. For their Bellevue Syrene wedding, much of the plan came down to knowing when to leave a good thing alone. Sorrento had already earned a place in their story […]

A Jewish Ceremony Against an Ocean Sunset at This Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel Wedding
Shauna and Jon’s ceremony unfolded on the bluffs overlooking the Pacific, with the sun dropping toward the horizon as they exchanged vows. By the time their Jewish ceremony ended, the sun had set completely. Family heirlooms were incorporated into the ceremony, adding meaningful touches to the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel’s oceanfront setting. The rest of the day shifted between two distinct settings. Outside, Shauna and Jon envisioned something with a rustic, Italian influence. Indoors, they moved […]
Handmade, Homegrown, and Undeterred by a Storm: A Quiraing Isle of Skye Elopement
A major storm had knocked out power across much of the Scottish Highlands. Fallen trees and power lines had closed every road to the Isle of Skye, and when Lou and McKay asked for advice on making the trip, the response was fairly straightforward: “Don’t go, don’t even try.” They went anyway. After eventually reaching Skye and enduring another night of heavy rain, they woke on the morning of their Quiraing elopement to blue skies. […]
Inside Leanne Ansar’s French-American Wedding at a Hidden Gothic Abbey in Burgundy
A five-meter veil, a centuries-old Gothic abbey, and a late-night speakeasy serving burgers and fries aren’t the most obvious combination. For Léanne Ansar and Louis Terme, though, the combination made sense. Their wedding brought together Léanne’s love of French history with the years she spent living in the United States. They chose a secluded abbey in Burgundy, kept the florals understated, and worked with local vendors to showcase the region’s food and craftsmanship. But there […]
This Queer Two-Day Mexico City Wedding Blended Pakistani Tradition and Mexican Culture Beautifully
Furhan Shah and Ben Fortuin’s wedding took place over two days and two very different Mexico City venues. The first brought Pakistani wedding traditions, colorful clothing, a dhol player, speeches, and dancing to the gardens of Museo Casa de la Bola. The next moved to Ex-Convento de San Hipólito, where black-and-white attire, dramatic lighting, a non-denominational ceremony, and a packed dance floor changed the look entirely. Junebug vendor Alex Krotkov was there for both days […]
A Closed 17th-Century Mexican Hacienda Reopened Just for This Romantic Goth Glam Elopement
It took Katie nearly a year of searching to find Hacienda Uayamón, a centuries-old property in Campeche with weathered red walls, jungle greenery, and the kind of Mexican ruins that immediately ended her venue hunt. There was just one problem: the hacienda had been closed for years. Getting married there would eventually require the owner to reopen the property exclusively for Katie and Nick, plus a team of around 30 people working behind the scenes […]
A Last-Minute Pivot Led to A Magical Waterfall Elopement at Nauyaca Falls in Costa Rica
Ashlyn and Jarrod had spent months planning a destination wedding when they made a fairly major change of plans: they scrapped it and decided to elope instead. The new plan was much simpler. Head somewhere tropical, find a waterfall, and make the day entirely their own. That search led them to Costa Rica and a Nauyaca Waterfall elopement, where they exchanged personal vows beside the park’s two-tiered falls with matching Dr. Martens on their feet. […]
This Snug Harbor Wedding Gave NYC Guests a Tuscan Garden Escape Without the Flight
Quinn and Jack wanted to get out of New York City without asking everyone they loved to actually leave it. They found their answer on Staten Island, where historic architecture and sprawling gardens gave their Snug Harbor wedding the breezy, old-world atmosphere they had been picturing, just 45 minutes from Midtown. They planned the celebration themselves, down to the invitations, programs, menus, and place cards. Guests arrived to champagne before a ceremony filled with cheering […]
A Minimalist, Modern Black-Tie Wedding at Martin Johnson House in La Jolla
With just 36 guests, an all-white color palette, and a black-tie dress code, Kaitline and Aaron kept their La Jolla wedding intentionally intimate. A few statement pieces shaped the celebration, including couches for the ceremony, modern reception chairs, and a custom 10-foot-tall stage that transformed from a string quartet setup into a photo wall as the day unfolded. They also reconsidered how weddings were typically laid out at Martin Johnson House, putting dinner on the […]
Ocean Views and Island Vibes at This Casa Coco Jewish Beach Wedding
Three days of celebrations unfolded on Isla Mujeres, beginning with a Jewish ceremony overlooking the ocean at Casa Coco and ending with an Ibiza-inspired after-party complete with fire performers, dancers, and a Mayan sunrise show. But the forecast almost rewrote the entire weekend. Rain poured down that morning, and the ceremony was close to being moved indoors. Then, just two hours before guests arrived, the clouds broke, revealing the sunset the couple had been hoping […]
