Georgia mountain wedding venues are among the most spectacular and affordable wedding options around. We like to think we make a great honeymoon destination as well!
Spending so much time with brides-to-be, as North Georgia wedding planners do, we’ve also discovered some other wonderful, unique honeymoon destinations — so we compiled this great list of possibilities to suit your romantic fancy, whatever that might involve.
For big-city slickers
1. Florence, Italy
We love the warmth and welcome of Florence, Italy. Honeymooners can tour this lovely old city by boat, on foot, or by bike, and enjoy the classic sights and tastes of Italy. Filled with great architecture, museums, and stylish nightlife, Florence provides the experience of a lifetime.
2. San Francisco, California
Just a bit closer to home, San Francisco is hands down the most romantic city in the United States. With its bustling Fisherman’s Wharf, distinctive cable cars, and unique combination of early California and contemporary dot-com architecture, a San Francisco honeymoon is an urban dream come true.
For foodies and wine lovers
3. Napa Valley, California
Breathtaking scenery, world-class luxury spas, and miles of highly rated restaurants and wineries make opportunities for delicious romance in Napa nearly endless. Stay at a charming bed and breakfast or an exclusive boutique hotel and soak up the hedonistic delights of your wine country honeymoon.
4. Barcelona, Spain
Savor freshly caught seafood prepared in traditional and postmodern fusion styles, and sip a glass or two of wine from local vineyards — the Catalan region, of which Barcelona is the capital, produces some of the finest wines in the world. Add Barcelona’s stylish ambience and Mediterranean sunshine, and you’ve got a gourmet honeymoon that can’t be beat.
For adventure lovers
5. North Georgia’s Blue Ridge Mountains
If your idea of a perfect honeymoon involves white-water rafting, mountain biking, scenic hikes, and horseback riding, then a North Georgia honeymoon is for you. In addition to all the great places for weddings in the Georgia mountains, we offer unlimited possibilities for honeymooners seeking a thrilling, adrenaline-filled getaway.
6. Zermatt, Switzerland
Top off your winter wonderland wedding with a ski adventure honeymoon in Zermatt, Switzerland. With the Matterhorn in sight, you’ll enjoy some of the best skiing on the continent, and relaxation ranging from champagne bars and five-star dining to open air fireplaces and farm fresh cheeses.

7. San Juan, Puerto Rico
Write your sun soaked love story in a classic tropical paradise without a passport in charming San Juan, Puerto Rico. Luxury hotels along Isla Verde’s golden beaches offer seaside sport or secluded relaxation to match your personal honeymoon fantasy.
