At Out Of Office, providing personalised luxury for lesbian and gay destination weddings is at the heart of what we do best. With same-sex marriage now legalised in a growing number of countries around the globe, we are regularly asked where the best place is to hold a gay wedding abroad.
Here at Out Of Office, we truly understand the world you live in, and the world you want to explore. Our attention to detail, exceptional service and deep understanding of both luxury travel and LGBTQ+ travel make us a fantastic choice for those looking for a travel experience where exclusivity meets inclusivity.
The truth is, there are so many incredible destinations to have your LGBTQ+ destination wedding, and we can help you find that perfect location.
As an exclusive and inclusive luxury travel company, we have arranged ceremonies for many gay couples and LGBTQ+ families in spectacular settings, from adventure-packed South Africa to romantic Santorini. Whether you would like us to arrange everything for your big day or just need a little assistance, we can help you host the gay destination wedding you've always dreamed of. From finding your ideal venue to coordinating your formal ceremony and organising wedding photographs, let us minimise the stress so you can fully enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A gay destination wedding is perfect if you're seeking a more intimate and personal celebration. However, with laws regarding same-sex marriage evolving worldwide, it's essential to know where your marriage will be legally recognised and where it might only be symbolic. As inclusive luxury travel experts, we can guide you through the legal aspects of gay weddings abroad, civil unions, and symbolic ceremonies, offering the best gay wedding packages tailored to your destination—whether that’s a beach ceremony in Mexico’s Riviera Maya or a traditional Polynesian wedding in Bora Bora. Many couples also opt to combine their wedding with a romantic gay honeymoon to make the most of their time away.
To discuss your dream wedding, contact a member of our expert team today.

Planning a wedding abroad is arguably more stressful than one at home. Depending on how far you intend to travel, you will likely not have seen the venue before you arrive and there can always be a difference between what you pictured to the reality.
It’s important to establish what you want from your wedding. Do you want your marriage to be recognised back home or would you rather get married in the UK before you travel and then have a symbolic beach wedding abroad?
There are a lot of questions to answer and when planning a gay wedding it’s important to ensure you are aware of the laws involved too. We’ve planned a number of same-sex weddings to destinations worldwide and are expanding our portfolio all the time. Submit an enquiry and one of our expert team will give you a call for an initial consultation to start the ball rolling.
Gay minimoons are great if, for whatever reason, you are unable to travel to your honeymoon destination. It may be the wrong season for that particular country or you might not be able to get a lot of time off work. A minimoon is a fantastic solution if you still want to have a break with your new partner straight after your wedding.
Whether it’s a weekend away to the Lapland Igloo hotel, or a city break to Rome, there is endless potential and you can make it as fancy as you like. The good thing is once your mini-moon is over, you still have your honeymoon to look forward to!
Planning a wedding can be stressful and time-consuming. Enjoying an indulgent weekend away as a couple before you marry is a great idea. It gives you an excuse to go on that short break you always wanted but never got round to. And let’s be honest, it’s a great excuse to book another holiday.
In many countries where same-sex marriage isn’t legal, you can still have a gay symbolic wedding. This means you would have a legal ceremony prior to departure and then you would have your symbolic ceremony abroad in whichever destination you decide on. The good thing about symbolic weddings is that it gives you a host of further destinations to choose from where you will still receive a warm welcome despite the lack of full equality.
If you are looking for a totally unique experience, then head to Japan and celebrate your love by having a Japan gay wedding. Even though same-sex marriage is not recognised in Japan, you can have a symbolic ceremony. It is the perfect destination if you are looking to get married in somewhere historic. Dress in traditional Kimono wedding attire and say your vows in a traditional Japanese temple. You will still have all the necessary preparations including a wedding fitting and styling. After your ceremony, enjoy a traditional Japanese wedding meal to round off the evening. Japan is a country filled with rich heritage and culture, there is plenty to do after your gay wedding.
The gorgeous Mediterranean sunsets, the traditional Greek cuisine and the beautiful hotels make Greece a wonderful destination if you are looking for a gay symbolic wedding. Same-sex marriage is not yet legal, however we can arrange for you to have a sunset symbolic wedding. The ceremony will usually take places in your hotel. We can arrange for you to have official wedding photos and a pre-wedding makeover. Enjoy a delicious wedding meal to celebrate with your loved one. After your ceremony spend some time exploring the islands. Our favourites are Mykonos, which is famous for its gay-friendly atmosphere and beautiful beaches. Santorini is another favourite and known for its boutique hotels and quaint towns. We recommend visiting a couple of the islands as they each have their own unique character. Always a great choice for a gay destination wedding.
Same-sex marriage has not been legalised yet, however you can still have a beautiful symbolic wedding. Picture yourself saying your vows at sunset on a gorgeous beach, the Caribbean is known for its romantic ambience and beautiful surroundings making it perfect for a gay symbolic wedding. Spend your days relaxing in your beautiful resort, snorkelling in the crystal clear sea and tucking into delicious traditional Caribbean cuisine. Take an evening stroll along the endless stretches of white sandy beaches, hand in hand with your newlywed. Have a break from the beach and head to the Arikok National Wildlife Park and jump off the rock edges into the warm waters.
For one of the most romantic destinations in the world and a perfect spot for your symbolic gay wedding, head to Italy and experience its beautiful cities. The country recently allowed civil partnerships, but not full marriage. Have your ceremony in Venice, a city known for its romantic ambience and architecture. Picture yourself in the canal-lined cobbled streets, or take a charming ride in a gondola. Head to Florence and experience the abundance of Renaissance architecture on every corner. Known for being a laid back city, it is the perfect place to unwind and relax as a newlywed couple. Finish off in Rome, the city of love, this place is famous for its abundance of famous sites, including the Colosseum, Vatican City and the Trevi Fountain. Spend your days eating gelato and wandering the quaint cobbled streets. A perfect end to a romantic adventure.
