Say “I Do” in Paradise
DESTINATION WEDDINGS The journey of a lifetime starts with a memory that will last forever, and saying “I do” in paradise has become a favorite tradition of couples. While planning a wedding — any wedding — may seem daunting, a ceremony away from home can be one seamless, unforgettable event when all your details are handled by a dedicated travel professional.
LEAVE THE PLANNING TO THE PLANNERS
Destination weddings can help take the stress out of planning, with customizable packages ranging from classically simple to gloriously lavish. Many resorts employ professional wedding planners who will deal with all the small details — arranging transportation, acting as a liaison between vendors, and ensuring everything is set up before the ceremony. All you have to do is show up, say your vows, and have a wonderful time. The rest is taken care of.
BEFORE THE ALTAR
With many resorts offering group discounts, you can invite your loved ones to spend time at the resort before the ceremony. Make everyone a part of the fun — hit the golf course with dad, enjoy a pampering day at the spa with mom, introduce extended families over a heartfelt welcome dinner, and hit the clubs with your friends to party after dark.
WHAT COMES AFTER
Destination weddings make it easy to combine your special day and your honeymoon into one extended celebration. Destinations from the Caribbean to Mexico to the South Pacific make it easy to say “I do” in tropical settings — directly on the beach, at an on-site chapel, or even in an intimate ceremony in your suite — and settle in for a week of exquisite pampering at an elegant allinclusive resort.
A ONE-OF-A-KIND CEREMONY
Wed in blissful seclusion with just you, your fiancé, and the rippling of the ocean, or invite all your friends and family to kick up their heels for a week on a tropical island paradise. From an intimate ceremony and candlelit dinner-for-two, to a blowout celebration with seating for 40, make your special day as inclusive — or as exclusive — as you like.

HONEYMOON GUIDE
Whether you’re looking for a secluded paradise in Hawaii or an all-inclusive retreat in the Caribbean, we’ll help you get your first getaway as newlyweds off on the right barefoot.
SECLUDED PARADISE
If you’re looking to spend a week unwinding poolside, destinations like St. Barths and Antigua are classic honeymoon locations. Laid-back couples looking for relaxation can spend days swimming in turquoise waters, indulging in luscious spa treatments, enjoying leisurely gourmet dinners, and resting in hammocks under shady palms. These pampering hideaways afford serious alone time and the chance to return home refreshed and renewed.
HONEYMOON HOTSPOTS
Eternal romantics will adore the postnuptial destinations like Aruba, Maui, Jamaica, Bermuda, and St. Lucia. Toast your love as the sun sets over Caribbean waters, or

LIBERTY TRAVEL | CALL 1.888.382.5071
snuggle high atop the St. Lucian rainforests during a breathtakingly beautiful tram ride. Jamaica’s sun-soaked Seven Mile Beach and the glittering shores of Bermuda’s South Side are the ideal places to do, well, absolutely nothing.
PLAN AN ADVENTURE
What better way to invoke your adventurous spirit than with an action-packed honeymoon? For the truly adventurous, think Costa Rica, Mexico, and Jamaica. Soar above the rainforest canopy on a heart- pounding zip-line in Costa Rica, rappel down a cool cave into a natural cenote near Cancun, or take an invigorating hike through the vibrant hilltops by Montego Bay. Non-stop adventures make for a honeymoon experience you’ll never forget.
A PRESENT FOR THE NEWLYWEDS
Wherever your destination, the best hotels and resorts offer incredible honeymoon packages designed to assure an amazing start to your new life together. Revel in luxurious amenities like rose petal Jacuzzi baths, complimentary couples massages, Champagne breakfasts in bed, private catamaran sails, and romantic dinners on the beach. Most offer these packages complimentary within a certain time period after your nuptials. From historic to heart-pounding, romantic to relaxing, there’s a honeymoon destination perfect for you and your spouse, and our travel consultants will help you find it.

PAMPERING RETREATS
From luxurious five-star properties, to classic colonial-style great houses, to properties styled for families or adults-only, and all-inclusive resorts that offer everything you need, you’ll find accommodations in the Caribbean with the perfect mix of privacy and pampering.
ISLAND ADVENTURES
The Caribbean islands boast some of the world’s best beaches, but there are incredible adventures to be had off the soft sands. Zip-line in Jamaica and snorkel off Aruba’s coast. Stand atop the peak of Gross Piton and take in the awe-inspiring views of St. Lucia. If you’re looking to truly celebrate, the islands come alive after dark with cabarets, festivals, and carnivals. The options are endless, and your travel consultant can guide you to the perfect itinerary, even if that’s simply lying on those powder soft sands.
CULINARY DELIGHTS
Seafood is king, of course, and the Caribbean local cuisine is one to savor. Jerk chicken, cornbread fritters, shrimp & coconut sauce, and steamed callaloo are just some of the delights to enjoy. Choose an all-inclusive resort for a taste of local cuisine, plus worldly dishes and flavors from world-class restaurants.
SETTING A DATE
You can say “I do” year-round in the Caribbean. Aruba has more sunny days than any other Caribbean island and averages 80°F temperatures year-round. The Bahamas, Dominican Republic, and Jamaica see temperatures fall into the comfortable low 70s from December through April with low humidity, and February’s island festivals — carnivals — offer a wonderful complement to your own celebration.
GET ON ISLAND TIME
Not sure on what beach you should say, “I do,” or wondering which destination has that colonial feel for a cultural exploration? We’ll help you find that perfect island with our indepth knowledge and expert vacation planning, which are always free.

El Arco, Cabo San Lucas
Chichén Itzá
You’ll fall in love with Mexico on your honeymoon and come back year after year. With world-class resorts, legendary beaches, and breathtaking wonders, Mexico impresses with endless experiences to enjoy from coast to idyllic coast. Retreat to relaxing Riviera Maya, dance in lively Cancun, and be pampered in upscale Los Cabos. No matter which destination you choose, you’re sure to enjoy your time in this welcoming country. ALL-NEW, ALL-INCLUSIVES
The new breed of all-inclusive resorts in Mexico is heavy on top-tier extras. Delight in gourmet dining and 24/7 room service. Indulge in full-service spas. Luxuriate in plush accommodations, accented with upgraded amenities and elegant features, like private plunge pools and Jacuzzis. For those tying the knot, many resorts offer the services of certified wedding planners, beautiful venues, and elegant banquet salons.
NATURAL WONDERS
For eco- and post-nuptial bliss, Mexico delivers. Underground rivers in the Riviera Maya offer a leisurely way to spend your time together, and the spectacular beaches never disappoint. On the west coast, Puerto Vallarta enchants with captivating sunsets, the perfect setting for a romantic dinner on the beach. Then hit the nearby Sierra Madre mountaintops on an exhilarating zip-lining adventure. Los Cabos’ famed El Arco may be Mexico’s most recognized natural wonder, but the awesome terrain extends to the stunning beauty of Baja’s desert.
LIVING HISTORY
Immerse yourself in ancient Mayan history with fascinating archaeological sites and breathtaking architectural ruins in Tulum and Chichén Itzá. Wander Puerto Vallarta’s elegant cobblestone streets and enjoy live music from the bandstand at Plaza de Armas. Cabo San Lucas excites with exhilarating nightlife for active couples with bars such as Cabo Wabo and the Giggling Marlin.
TASTY TRADITIONS
Mexico is the birthplace of tequila, and the best place to try this tasty drink is right along the Pacific Coast. Take a day tour from Puerto Vallarta to the Blue Agave fields and enjoy a taste-testing. Fish tacos were invented around Los Cabos and are a must-taste. Riviera Maya serves up delicious local cuisine, such as sopa de lima (lime soup), pibil (slow roasted chicken or pork wrapped in banana leaves), and tamales (flavorful masa wrapped and steamed in dried corn husks).
WHEN TO SAVE THE DATE
Temperatures remain warm throughout the year, but the best time to enjoy a ceremony south of the border is from November to April. This is when temperatures drop to the high 70s, allowing for a pleasant ceremony upon a pristine beach or on a lovely sky terrace. Your guests will enjoy whale-watching in Los Cabos from January through March near Los Cabos, and on the east coast, treat your guests to the nearby Mayan ruins.
Celebrate your love from coast to coast in Mexico, and we’ll help you choose the perfect destination for your honeymoon and your future anniversary celebrations.

Perhaps the quintessential honeymoon destination, Hawaii lures timeless romantics as America’s very own paradise. With some of the world’s most famous beaches and spectacular landscapes, the Aloha State welcomes honeymooners to a tropical destination unlike any other. FOUR ISLANDS, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES
Hawaii’s Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and Big Island each have their own personality and diverse honeymoon options for you. Oahu is home to many of Hawaii’s iconic sites, like Pearl Harbor, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, and the North Shore. Maui is commonly named the favorite island by visitors and attracts lush valleys, artsy towns, and peaceful beaches, perfect for relaxing and discovering. Kauai, the “Garden Island,” features untouched landscapes and welcomes nature lovers, while the Big Island offers unique experiences, like Manta Ray night swims and active volcanoes.

No trip to Hawaii is complete without a ride along the Road to Hana, a 52-mile drive with twists and turns, narrow bridges, and captivating views in Maui. Behold “The Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” Waimea Canyon, and get an up-close view of the towering cliffs of the Na Pali Coast on Kauai. Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big island hosts amazing views of Kilauea’s lava flows. If you’re looking for the perfect wave, it will probably break along Sunset Beach on Oahu’s world-famous North Shore, home to eminently rideable surf spots.

CULTURAL EXPLORATIONS
Experience Hawaii’s rich culture at the Old Lahaina Luau, Drums of the Pacific Dinner Show, Paradise Cove Luau, and Polynesian Cultural Center, all with great food and performances. Honolulu is jam- packed with attractions, and a scenic tour will take you to the only royal residence in the US, Iolani Palace, as well as the statue of King Kamehameha. Boasting 11 out of 13 climatic zones, Hawaii offers a diverse landscape perfect for filming, so you can see where some of your favorite movies were made.
ISLAND BITES
Hawaii’s food scene is diverse and absolutely divine. Maui’s restaurants offer some unique and fresh flavors thanks to their farm-to-table philosophies. Honolulu is a hotbed of dishes you won’t find anywhere else, such as baked manapua, Portuguese donuts (malasadas), shave ice, loco moco, Ube pancake, char siu, and other delights. Make sure to get a cup of genuine Kona coffee, and savor an underground-roasted pig during a luau.
FIND YOUR HAWAIIAN ISLAND
Though the weather is the best from April through October in Hawaii, surfing couples should consider traveling to Maui during the winter when the waves offer a challenge. Whalewatching is a favorite sightseeing excursion for honeymooners and guests, and Oahu is a great destination to see it from November through March. Winter also offers clear skies over the Big Island, and at night, the constellations create a romantic backdrop for a wedding or romantic dinner. Kauai is especially lovely during spring and early fall with the best weather and lowest crowds of the year. We’ll help you choose the Hawaiian island that fits your honeymoon style, so you can relax in your perfectly selected American paradise.

LEGENDARY INDULGENCE
Wedding photos here would be stunning, to say the least. Everything in the South Pacific comes with an extra something – the waters, the beaches, and the level of luxury and hospitality. When you come here for your honeymoon, the red carpet treatment is no mere phrase; it’s a reality. Indulge in state-of-the-art and world-class spas. Taste the flavor of gourmet cuisine. And stay in accommodations that are truly legendary. The land (or sea) of overwater bungalows makes privacy and sleeping-in feel like you’re living on a cloud. Except it’s even better.
NATURAL BEAUTY EVERY WHICH WAY YOU TURN
It goes without saying that the islands and destinations of the South Pacific are breathtaking. Fiji’s epic gardens like the Garden of the Sleeping Giant and the Kula Eco Park ecological preserve are great backdrops for your wedding or honeymoon photos. And for the ultimate in beach paradise, there’s really nothing quite like the Islands of Tahiti, which impresses with endless horizons and timeless overwater bungalows.

A DEEP CULTURE BEHIND THE BEAUTY
Cultural wonders abound in the South Pacific. See soaring temples, illuminated by shimmering sunsets. Visit a local village and take in a fire walking ceremony. Discover cultural centers with colorful buildings, restaurants, and shops. Museums, ancient temples, and marketplaces are just waiting to be explored, hand-in-hand as you start your life as a married couple discovering exciting destinations.
FRESH FROM THE SEA
With their unique spin on it, the South Pacific makes seafood dishes their own. Try the kokodo in Fiji, a raw mahi-mahi dish, or just bite into a number of fish-based dishes paired with the freshest produce. The national dish of Tahiti, poisson cru, is a unique spin on ceviche, with a red tuna base. At the end of the day, hold hands overlooking pure paradise with a Tahitian rum punch to pair your love with the incredible flavors of the South Pacific.

OVER THE INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE
Your wedding date or honeymoon time will determine whether you’re taking your vacation at the best time in the South Pacific. Fiji and the Islands of Tahiti enjoy a warm climate year round, but you’ll find the tropical ambiance perfect for your wedding from May to November. Try to book for late September for breathtaking views of the moon’s equinox over the endless horizon.
Make the call to paradise now — we’ll help you choose the perfect destination in the South Pacific that’s just right for your honeymoon.
