Important caveat – the price of these locations might cause their own level of stress.

The Mount Nelson Hotel is the place to stay in Cape Town.
Castello Odescalchi, Italy
History, natural beauty and spectacular views and being easily accessible make the Castello Odescalchi a great spot for a day you’ll never forget. This is where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes tied the knot.

Villa D’Este, Italy
On the shores of Lake Como, this luxury hotel was built as a residence for a Cardinal of the Catholic Church in the 1500s and converted to a hotel in the late 1800s. It’s known for its remarkable gardens – 25 acres of beautiful azaleas, camellias and roses.
Of course, Lake Como is where George Clooney hangs out, so that could be dangerous for some brides-to-be.
Vienna, Austria
Vienna is one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world. In other words, perfect for your wedding. Take in the world famous arts and culture as you visit the city. Maybe you’ll even want to get married in the air – at the top of the famous Giant Ferris Wheel at Prater amusement park. The Ferris Wheel has 15 private, luxury cabins. The Art Nouveau cabin is the one you should ask for – it accommodates 12 – including the bride and groom, two witnesses and the registrar.
Langkawi, Malaysia
Vienna sound too formal? How about the Malaysian archipelago of Langkawi, a group of 104 islands officially known as Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah.
This exotic jungle location is close to phenomenal beaches. You can stay in a traditional Malay houe at this resort – they’ve been collected from around the country and rebuilt to form this small resort.
