Awesome Same-Sex Wedding Destinations Right Now

Gay marriage is officially legal in 37 U.S. states and at least 13 countries, and these destinations are trending as welcoming places to celebrate your union in love.

The Netherlands

Having your wedding in the first country to legalize same-sex marriage would be an ode to making history. To be married here, at least one member of the couple must be a Dutch citizen or have residency. Check out our LGBT guide to Amsterdam for some fun places to stay and go.

Dutch Caribbean

While the Caribbean Islands are still behind the times, the island of Saba is a Special Municipality of The Netherlands, and is authorized to perform legal same-sex marriages. Gay marriage is a norm there now, and the island is especially couple-oriented, perfect for your dream beach wedding in the heart of paradise.

Hawai’i

Who doesn’t want to be married on a Hawaiian beach? And this U.S. island has tons of incredible attractions for LGBT couples. Lava Lava Beach Club is one of the best-known LGBT-friendly accommodations and ceremony providers, and has a location on both Kaua’i and Big Island.
