LGBTQ+ Friendly Destination Wedding Locations

No one should have to worry about that extra step of legality to keep them from celebrating their love. With progressive mindsets transforming the way global destinations treat LGBTQ+ to-be-newlyweds, we’re excited to share our list of the best places to legally tie the knot as part of the community. Guaranteeing award-winning excellence and the simple luxury of legal wedding documentation, these wedding resorts deliver wholesome experiences for all lovebirds no matter their orientation:

Mexico

Since a Supreme Court order in 2015, all LGBTQ+ marriages performed in Mexico or abroad must be recognized by the government on a federal level. Because Mexico is going through a period of transition and progress, when equality for all is on the horizon, gay and lesbian couples can now get married anywhere in the country, including Cancun!

Teeming with all-inclusive benefits, your Mexico destination wedding can feature chic decor and access to award-winning facilities – all complete with 24/7 oceanside views and immaculate venues.

Garnering a bevy of luxury wedding perks for all, the following resorts offer an impressive track record of happy Destify Couples:
