Looking for the perfect “I do” destination? I’ve spent years exploring some of the most beautiful places across the U.S., and in this post, I’m sharing my absolute favorite spots to tie the knot. If I were getting married again? No question—I’d go for a beach. Ocean beach, lakeside beach... just sign me up for waves, sand, and sunset vows. But don’t worry—I’ve got plenty of other stunning options for you too. From iconic landscapes to one-of-a-kind venues, these destinations offer unforgettable backdrops for weddings of every style, coast to coast.
