What do wedding couples want most? A romantic tropical location and a good price.
That turned up in a recent poll of couples planning a destination wedding and honeymoon. Sixty percent wanted a romantic tropical location. Another 40 percent cited price was the biggest factor in choosing where to have the event.
The poll was done by “Honeymooner’s Review Guide,” which calls itself “the number one international honeymoon planning Web site.”
The poll measured preferred honeymoon settings and the most important reasons why couples choose a honeymoon resort, hotel, cruise or B & B.
Other desirable sites: Twenty-three percent wanted to honeymoon in a city environment, eight percent in the mountains, three percent on a safari, three percent in a winter location, two percent backpacking, and one percent at a golf resort.
Michelle McKenzie, Vice-President of Honeymooner’s Review Guide, said that, “tropical locations” have historically been the places of choice in the past 50 years, engendering images of balmy, warm blue waters, palm trees, long walks on sugar white sands, and romantic sunsets.”
Honeymooner’s Review Guide is a full-scale honeymoon and destination wedding planning site. The website has 100’s of pages dedicated to planning honeymoons.
