Haiku Mill, Maui Hawaii

I love this place cause it’s SO lush and tropical everywhere. I love how its small and intimate and feels super private. it really does not need much so its one of my favorite places for intimate weddings and great weather pretty much year round.
Hotel Du Cap, France

Such glamour this place has, so much old world charm and really super classy. Perfect late spring or late summer when the masses are gone. Its where the rich and famous go so its not for every wallet but SO worth the money.
Dunton Hot Springs

Dunton is one of those places you should just put on your bucket list. Its not only an amazing place to spend the weekend with 60 of your favorite people to celebrate ANYTHING but could also be a great honeymoon spot. I mean the backdrop if unbelievable, the service is so superior and/or in the middle of nowhere. And that hot spring, helloooooooo?
Meadowood, Napa CA

We do so many weddings at Meadowood because its not only such a beautiful spot to get married but the rooms are so lovely, the croquet for your after wedding brunch is SO much fun, the weather in Napa is pretty awesome year round and the service is so spot on.
Amanyara, Turks and Caicos
I love how beautiful this property is in terms of architecture, love that is on the ocean and has amazing views and the service is impeccable. Having all your friends stay here would be so much fun-so much to do and really the perfect weather when its freezing in the states mid winter!
Blackberry Farm, Tennessee
I love how well they designed the interiors in the big red event barn. Not a lot needs to be brought in for a dinner here…and they can seat quite a lot of people. The food is insanely good, the staff is super friendly all there is so much to do there. You can either hibernate there for days or head to Knoxville which is 45 minutes away and the cutest town.
Il Sereno, Lake Como Italy
I mean this is the coolest newest most modern property RIGHT on the lake, it does not get better then this. Minimal interiors allows you to appreciate the views and take in all the local things to do and see like the PASTA and wine:-) Having a ceremony on the lake would be a dream come true.
Amankila, Bali
If you’re into the tropics and can go a little further then Hawaii, this is your spot. The people are so friendly the service as always is amazing and the water is crystal clear. Again you don’t need to do much in terms of decor, its so beautiful.
Twin Farms, Vermont
If you love the changing colors of fall, then this is your spot. The trees are your perfect backdrop for your ceremony. I love their event barn set right on the lake and the food is 5 star.
Malliouhana, Antigua
I loved how close this resort was to other islands so it was fairly easy to hop around. Getting there can be an adventure, but so worth it. The modern interiors, white sand beaches and killer cocktails make this a great buyout hotel.
If you love the Alison Events team, you will have so much fun reading about their managing partner Jesse Tombs’ Dream Wedding to Justin Trudeau and our Thelma & Louise run-in with them recently in Napa complete with a convertible getaway car.
