Hawaii: Situated between a sandy beach off the blue Pacific and the ancient Keanapou pond, The Fairmont Orchid's Coconut Grove on Hawaii's Big Island offers gorgeous weddings on the beach. Swaying palms, tiki torches and a native Ohia wooden wedding arch decorated with tropical flowers combine to create a romantic, Hawaiian atmosphere for the ceremony.
Mexico: Fairmont Mayakoba in Mexico's Riviera Maya is situated atop a network of crystal-clear waterways, which provide an ethereal atmosphere for a wedding. For an unforgettable entrance, arrange an elegant arrival in a traditional lancha, or covered boat. The lancha can be decorated with a delicate white veil and flowers while it ferries you along the waterways that criss-cross the resort. At the end of your journey you will meet your groom at The Isla Event Lawn, located on an island in the middle of the 45-acre resort.
Barbados: With sugar-soft sand and the calm waters of the Caribbean Sea lapping its beaches, The Fairmont Royal Pavilion in Barbados is the ultimate place for a jet-set wedding. Beneath a whitewashed wedding arch and clear blue sky, the resort will take care of everything from the wedding cake to a luxurious honeymoon stay in breathtaking oceanfront accommodations.
Quebec: The lush Canadian forests of Quebec create a secluded getaway for exchanging vows at the ruggedly luxurious Fairmont Le Château Montebello, which has hosted dignitaries including Prince Rainier and Princess Grace. The resort's new 6,000-square-foot country-chic event space provides a rustic elegance echoing the historic château's signature red cedar log design.
Africa: Offering an authentic Kenyan experience, Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari Club can provide a thoroughly unique wedding and reception at this classic African getaway. The Club, founded by William Holden, exudes colonial charm and is a popular escape for members of high society when they're looking for seclusion. Weddings that celebrate Kenya's diverse landscape can be held in the bush, where the on-site staff arranges cocktails and canapés in the shadow of majestic Mount Kenya, Africa's second-highest peak.
