Unfortunately, this book is little more than a compilation of legal requirements for marriage in different places (easily obtainable). The bulk of the book is dedicated to US locations, with a few mentions of other countries. I was planning a destination wedding in Europe (Spain or Italy), and was terribly disappointed to find the only European reference was the UK. I was also expecting a guide in terms of possible ceremony sites and descriptions, but the "guide" merely offers a brief description of the region, climate chart, how to get there, and other travel/regional information that I could also obtain easily elsewhere. Yet no mention of local wedding traditions, for example. Some of the sections contain one or two local wedding services, not very helpful for me. I found all the info I needed to plan our wedding and honeymoon in Florence, free on the web. I recommend instead "The Good Honeymoon Guide : Includes Where to Get Married Abroad" by Lucy Hone, which I found to be a very pleasurable read as well as inspirational (helped me to decide on Italy, although Bora Bora looks really nice). Lucy Hone's book was very informative & descriptive about specific locations and their ceremony offerings, with a great variety of locations around the world (and photos). I also liked "100 Best Romantic Resorts of the World" by Katharine Dyson, but not nearly as much.

My fiance and I were in search of a unique and romantic location to marry away from home. This book gave us numerous locations to consider. It was a huge time saver and provided all the contacts we needed. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of a destination wedding or even an interesting location to honeymoon.

I bought this book, and promptly returned it because it seemed so out of date, and also had no specific suggestions for great honeymoons, as the title also indicated. While it may be a good guide for specific information regarding places if you've already made up your mind to go there, this was not the glossy- dream book with helpful facts I expected.

I have returned this book to Amazon.com (first ever return of a book!) because it is not at all current. Most of the webpages listed are no longer in existence, and one site takes you directly to hardcore porn! There are no photos, poor drawings, and little information. I suggest you surf the web instead!

We weren't sure where to get married and didn't know the first thing about how to plan a wedding away from home. This book told us everything we needed to know: travel packages, legal requirements, foreign travel, tips for creating romantic moments, ways to avoid stressful situations, who to call, and even those places that are just for lovers! If you are planning a wedding away, I wouldn't be without this book!

This is the best book for uncovering and discovering non-traditional wedding ideas. The extensive research that Jackie Carrington did on the subject simplifies an otherwise overwhelming event! The book is well-written and provides relevant and useful information such as, obtaining a marriage license, actual phone numbers, wedding consultants, travel tips and more. Romantic Wedding Destinations is a great book to buy if you're planning a wedding or know someone who needs a little wedding guidance!

Romantic Wedding Destinations... gives sound advice and the appendix has helpful phone numbers. This book should prove helpful for those dreaming of marrying in a new and exotic place. This is a must for anyone planning a wedding away!!!

An invaluable resource for brides, giving you details and leaving more time for the romance

This book is so detailed and thorough that is makes selecting a destination to marry seem so easy! Jackie Carrington wrote this book so well. This book is a "must get"!

Not just wedding but also honeymoon locations are presented in this all-encompassing, attractively formated directory
