Why We Love It: Ireland is making its way up the ranks for wedding destinations and with good reason. You'll feel as if you stepped straight into a fairy tale thanks to the Emerald Isle's awe-inspiring landscapes. "From Limerick to Galway, Western Ireland is the idyllic place for couples that want to bask in the glory of historic castles and estates," Velez says. In addition, the country is openly accepting of same-sex weddings. Keep in mind that the climate depends on where you choose to visit (the southwestern coast tends to be the warmest area). No matter where you go, don't forget to bring a raincoat!
Where to Get Hitched: We love the Ashford Castle outside of Galway, which dates back to 1228. "Guests will be blown away by its sprawling lawns, luxurious suites, and amazing amenities," Velez says.
