Bermuda: Beyond Expectations

ejoyce@travelsavers.net (Erin Joyce) — Tue, 31 Mar 26 19:10:59 +0000

An Atlantic island where strangers greet you like family and life unfolds at a graceful, unhurried pace. Bermuda is instantly recognizable for its pink‑sand beaches and crystal‑clear waters—but what truly sets it apart are the moments that surprise you when you least expect them.

Step beyond the shoreline to uncover centuries‑old forts overlooking dramatic reefs, pastel‑hued towns steeped in British heritage, and a culture that blends refinement with effortless warmth. You might find locals wearing Bermuda shorts with quiet pride, or stumble upon contemporary art—yes, even a Banksy—displayed in the lobby of a luxury hotel.

Bermuda offers couples and travelers an experience that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern. From intimate seaside ceremonies to elegant resorts and historic venues, the island delivers a sense of place that feels personal, polished, and unmistakably special.

This is more than an island escape.
This is Bermuda.

Bahamas: Love Never Goes Out of Style

cvincent@travelsavers.com (Christine Vincent) — Fri, 11 Feb 22 04:23:47 +0000

Love never goes out of style, and the Bahamas is the perfect place to celebrate it. Only forty-eight nautical miles from the United States, two international airports, direct airlift from Europe, Latin America, Canada and the United States and two major ship ports, The Bahamas is an easily accessible destination with many hidden gems to host a spectacular awe-inspiring wedding, or an unforgettable honeymoon.

Amidst all the stress of choosing color schemes (What color is eggplant anyway?) and bridesmaids, menus and cake tastings, we want to at least make choosing a destination a little easier for you. The Islands of the Bahamas, in all its splendor, await with a tropical climate that offers mild winters and high temperatures all year round.

The perfect location for intimate and quaint to grandiose and over the top, The Bahamas is ready to accommodate any size or style of wedding. While beach weddings are the usual favorite, couples can opt for the old-world charm and sophistication. The Capital, Nassau, offers stunning locations for picturesque weddings including the infamous Queen’s Staircase, a historical landmark located at the Fort Fincastle or The Cloisters at Ocean Club on Paradise Island, the remains of a 12^th-Century French Augustinian Monastery. Opt for a traditional cathedral wedding at any of the local Cathedrals for a royal affair.

The beauty of this multi-island destination is in being able to marry on one island and honeymoon on another. Not having the hassle of planning two entirely separate itineraries or being burdened with clothing for two different climates, choosing The Bahamas makes it easy and breezy. You can marry in Nassau and honeymoon in Exuma or you can exchange your nuptials in Freeport and sail throughout the other islands, from Inagua the southernmost to the northern tip of Abaco. Make your honey moon a lengthy adventure, or a quick and quiet getaway.

This is your day and you’re welcome to make it as magical or as adventurous as your heart desires, we just want to help you get there. While your love is renewed every day and your marriage gets stronger every year, you only get one shot at the wedding you dreamed of. Make it count.

Bermuda

anabelunga@gmail.com (Anabel Fernandez) — Wed, 08 Dec 21 15:39:16 +0000

Because Bermuda is close to home, but feels like a million miles away.

Because Bermuda provides the perfect backdrop to the start of your lives together.

Because Bermuda offers you a unique set of options tailored for your day.

Because you deserve Bermuda.

Adopt Their Customs

Bermuda's otherworldly charm is something that makes their island feel remote and magical. Harness some of that magic when you adopt one of their customary wedding traditions that happen only on Bermuda's shores.

Kiss under a moongate - the horseshoe shaped arches found in gardens all over the island - will, according to local legend, assure a long and happy life together. Walk through one of their lovely limestone archways, make a wish, seal it with a kiss and look forward to a joyful and prosperous future.

Traditionally, Bermudians serve two cakes at their weddings, one for the bride and one for the groom. The bride's three-tiered fruitcake is covered in silver icing to symbolize their fruitful marriage, while the groom's single-tier pound cake with gold icing signifies prosperity. Both cakes are adorned with tiny cedar saplings that the couple may plant somewhere special on the island to embody their growing love.

With no car to hire on the island, brides and grooms often follow the example of local couples who travel to and from their weddings by horse-drawn carriage.

Dominican Republic

anabelunga@gmail.com (Anabel Fernandez) — Wed, 08 Dec 21 15:39:16 +0000

With a mixture of culture, nature, scenic beaches and accommodating resorts, as well as very good air connections, the Dominican Republic is highly rated as a wedding and honeymoon destination.

Marry with the blessing of ceremonies performed in the historic churches in the Colonial City of Santo Domingo. Or choose the backdrop of the aging stones of Altos de Chavón’s St. Stanislaus Church. The memories will endure.

Or forego the formality of traditional church weddings for the romance of the beach resorts of Puerto Plata, Samana, Punta Cana, La Romana, Juan Dolio or Boca Chica. Consider the marinas and large restaurants with their great views as another option for a wedding by the sea.

When the sun sets it will be time to tie the knot. Guests will admire the sun, watching the last rays of bright yellow as it sets in the horizon to a backdrop of pinks and orange. The newlyweds will flirt with each other.

Destination weddings work for either large or intimate ceremonies. The hotels offer packages specially designed for all tastes and budgets. At the hotels, experienced wedding planners will help the bride work within the budget, choose the sites, plan makeup and hair on the wedding day, choose flowers, wedding cake, photography, videos, music and of course, the banquet.

The services also ensure that your paperwork is processed correctly and papers sent to the right entities. Take note that while the requirements are the same, the process may vary depending on the justice of peace. The wedding planner will assist couples in finding a justice of peace or priest and will follow through with the sending of the marriage certificate.

Take note that civil services are performed solely in Spanish, but translators can participate.

If you will not be using the services of a wedding coordinator, have a friend or relative visit the specific civil registry office whose services you will be using to confirm the specific requirements of the judge that will be acting at the ceremony.

The Dominican Republic is a member of the La Hague Apostille Convention. Therefore, all non-Dominican official documents need to be apostilled by the issuing country’s foreign affairs ministry. Canadian citizens are not required to present apostilled documents. The documents need to be translated and legalized by a Dominican Consulate. It usually takes 3 to 4 weeks after the ceremony for the issuing of the legal notarized marriage certificate from the Justice of Peace. This will be mailed to the bride and groom.

Know Before You Go - Legal Requirements

The following paperwork is required to be submitted before the Oficialía del Estado Civil (Civil Registry Office): for the preparation of your civil marriage certificate. Allow three months for the processing. It is recommended that scanned documents or photocopies be sent in advance and the originals brought for the final processing. Note that the documents need to be translated into Spanish by an official translator and legalized by the Dominican consulate.

Original passport with photocopies of the photo page and the latest entries into the country.
Sworn declaration before a notary public of being single and eligible to marry, known as a Single Status Affidavit.
Original Birth Certificates.
If previously married, the Divorce Certificate or Death Certificate, if applicable.
Adoption Certificate, if applicable.
Parental Authorization, if applicable.

Two or more witnesses with valid passports. Relatives cannot be witnesses.

Roman Catholic Church weddings

Priests at Roman Catholic churches in the Dominican Republic can perform legal weddings for both locals and foreigners. In keeping with church rules, priests will not officiate weddings on the beach, but they may celebrate a wedding inside a closed area of the resort. For a wedding at a church, a mutually convenient date needs to be set and will depend on church availability. In addition to the same standard documents required for a civil wedding, a Roman Catholic Church wedding will require authorization from the local parish in the couple’s country of residence. Also required are baptismal, communion and confirmation certificates and church certificate of annulment (if applicable). Catholic ceremonies have the same legal implications as a civil marriage and the issuing of the marriage certificate follows the same procedure.

Catholic Churches where tourists frequently marry include:

Known by many as ‘The Emerald Isle,’ Ireland gets its name because of its stunning green hills and gorgeous landscapes. Its beauty, coupled with the fascinating history, is what makes it such a popular destination.

It doesn’t get more romantic than a castle, and Ireland boasts several. Dine in a famous historic one like Ashford and enjoy strolling the beautiful grounds. Or, enjoy lunch in one of the picture-perfect villages such as Cong or Lismore. And make sure to stop at one of the many vibrant pubs and learn the art of drinking a Guinness.

A not-to-be-missed experience is The Ring of Kerry, a 110 mile road to Killarney that boasts some of the country’s most beautiful scenery, including ocean views from the cliff tops. Alluring scenery also awaits travelers on many of the legendary golf courses, including Ballybunion, Lahinch and Royal County Down.

A Wedding in Italy? - Congratulazioni!

Getting married in Italy

There are many gorgeous locales in Italy, from the beautiful Amalfi Coast to the glamour of Como Lake in Northern Italy.

There is no residency requirement to get married in Italy. After a couple declares their intent to marry, banns (announcements) are posted, notifying the public of the marriage. The length of time that these banns are posted varies, however, and is often waived for noncitizens.

Non citizens marrying in Italy must appear before the civil registrar in the city in which they will marry at least three days before their wedding. They must bring two witnesses. At this time, the couple declares their intention to marry and provides legal documentation for their marriage. If neither party is an Italian citizen or resident and speaks Italian, a translator is mandatory. Once the couple has declared their intent to marry, banns are posted in the commune, or town hall. The length of time the banns, or marriage announcements, are posted varies from one day to several weeks depending on the city. In many cases, banns are waived or shortened when neither individual is Italian or a resident of Italy. Couples should contact city hall for details.

Individuals marrying in Italy must submit a Nulla Osta form -- along with a small fee -- that verifies that they are free to marry. They must sign the form in front of a consular officer. Both the bride and groom also must obtain an Atto Notorio, an oath sworn in the presence of two witnesses and an Italian consul, which states that "there are no legal impediments to the marriage according to the laws to which the person concerned is subject to in their country of citizenship." Both the bride and groom must provide their passports and birth certificates. In cases of remarriage, the divorce decree or death certificate of the former spouse must be provided as well. Documents issued that are in English must be translated into Italian and authenticated by the Italian Consulate. Couples should contact the Italian Consulate in the city in which they will marry to verify documentation requirements, as there are some variances among consulates.

New York City lives up to its name as the city that never sleeps. Boasting award-winning cuisine from just about every corner of the world, Broadway shows, world-class shopping, sporting events, countless museums and more, it’s no wonder the Big Apple is a popular destination.

Perhaps one of the most iconic and romantic activities in New York City is the experience of a cozy horse-drawn carriage ride through beautiful Central Park. A selection of museums is also within close proximity, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, American Museum of Natural History and the Guggenheim Museum. Or, if performance art is of interest, honeymooners can head to the theater district and pick from a number of Broadway musicals and dramas. In the same area, travelers can spot the famous Times Square New Year’s Eve Ball, made entirely of Waterford Crystal. Fashionistas will appreciate the stores on Fifth Avenue and the surrounding streets. Located in the center of the city, the best shopping runs from midtown to 60th Street, and includes the finest domestic and international retailers in the world.

Every type of cuisine is yours for the taking in New York City. Grab lunch from one of the many food trucks for a taste of street food, or enjoy a casual bite at hot spots including Eataly and Shake Shack. Some more romantic options include One if By Land, Two if By Sea, Gramercy Tavern, Daniel or Aureole. Reservations are recommended.

Although a compact country, each of New Zealand’s 29 regions is distinct in character, making for a one-of-a-kind honeymoon experience.

One stop to consider is Rotorua, which is located in the heart of the North Island and also serves as the gateway to other central destinations. Known for its mud pools, shooting geysers and natural hot springs, Rotorua is an ideal spot for relaxing. World-class mountain bike trails, horseback riding, zip lining and fishing cater to those looking to be a bit more active, and are also one of the best ways to see the region’s wildlife. Travelers can also experience Maori culture here, the best place being on a marae (tribal meeting grounds), where Maori speeches and singing can be heard, carved meeting houses can be seen and a hāngi feast cooked in earth ovens can be enjoyed.

Another noteworthy stop is Queenstown, which is made famous by its stunning scenery, golf courses, wineries and slew of outdoor pursuits. The adventurous will enjoy the region’s sky diving, canyon swinging, heli-biking and river rafting, or for something romantic, be sure to visit the region’s wineries to sample award-winning wines, dine at some of the many restaurants, go on a hot air balloon ride at dawn or relax at a day spa. Lord of the Rings fans will also recognize many of the locations of Middle-earth!
