The Sky's the Limit

Create your own Sleepless in Seattle moment by marrying on the 102nd floor of Manhattan's Empire State Building (esbny.com).

Cloud Nine

For an experience your guests won't soon forget, exchange vows on the 99th floor of the Sears Tower (sears-tower.com), which boasts 360-degree views of Chicago.

Class-Act Carnival

Exchange vows as your wedding party looks on from surrounding cars on the ferris wheel of the Valleyfair Amusement Park in Shakopee, MN. Afraid of heights? Wed on the merry-go-round (valleyfair.com).

Wild, Wild West

Always dreamed of a Western wedding? Head to Hazel's Rawhide Western Store in Burlseon, Texas for cowboy (or girl) wedding party attire and a ceremony at a nearby barn.

Ceremonial Kayaking

Exchange vows while kayaking the waters of Trinidad Bay in Trinidad, CA. North Coast Adventures will give you and your sweetie all the gear you'll need (northcoastadventures.com).

Ride the Wave

Love to surf? Grab your groom, your wetsuit, and your board and plunge into the ocean to exchange your vows. Anointed Weddings of Maui will arrange it all (maui.net/~anointed).

Red Rock Retreat

Take a helicopter to a private ceremony on top of a mesa or canyon in Sedona, AZ, Red Rock Country, followed by a private picnic (weddingsinsedona.com).

Intimate Affair

Keep the guest list small. Fewer people means fewer invitations to send, RSVPs to track, folks to make happy.

Mountaintop Nuptials

Wed in the Grand Teton Mountains at Jackson Hole, WY, 13,770 feet above sea level. After your I Do's, celebrate by skiing down a black-diamond run (tetonmountainweddings.com).

Guest Accommodations

Reserve rooms―and negotiate special rates—at hotels near your reception. Share this information with guests by slipping an insert card into your invitations.

Lazy Days

Don't appoint yourself entertainment director. Plan only one or two group activities. You'll have less to organize and guests will feel like they're truly on vacation, not summer camp.

Guest Connections

Create a directory of where each guest is staying and hand it out as people arrive. That way your family and friends can track each other down and hang out between wedding events.

The Perfect Plan

Hold your destination wedding at a full-service resort. The staff will help you plan your affair—and they'll also book everything you need, from the florist to the tent assembler.

Foreign Affair

When marrying abroad, arrive a few days early.  Some patience is required for all the paperwork needed to get married in a foreign country.  Get it all out of the way and you can just enjoy your day.
