Dracula’s Castle, Transylvania:

If you and your fiancé are fans of the current best-selling supernatural craze, then Dracula’s Castle is the ideal location for you. Dracula’s Castle/Bran Castle is an idyllic setting for all Twilight, Hotel Transylvania, and The Vampire Diaries fans! Located outside Brasov, Bran Castle rose to popularity by author Bram Stoker in his novel “Dracula.” The history of this castle is steeped in supernatural and horror tales of Vlad Tepes, the Impaler, considered by many supernatural fans to be the real Dracula (Telegraph, 2014). This location itself is beautiful and richly steeped in history because of the trade routes and military invasions in this trans-Carpathian passage. If you like the myth, intrigue, and supernatural-based romance revolving around actual history, then this is the destination for you!

Paramount Studios, Los Angeles:

The Great Wall of China, China:

Get married in a venue visible from space! The Great Wall of China has stood the test of time for thousands of years. Built over a span starting from 7 BC to 2 BC, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is an ancient marvel of strength, solidarity, and support. It stretches to almost 21,196 kilometers (CBC, 2012).

The Mayan Temples and Mayan civilization are more than 3000 years old (Planet, 2017). There are over 600 temples in the culturally magnificent expanse of Belize. Steeped in rich, traditional sun-worshiping rituals and history, the Mayans built towering, breathtaking temples for their rulers. Fans of archaeology can have a field day exploring these massive ruins and caves, palaces, and courts scattered throughout Belize. With the help of a wedding planner, you can even organize for a Mayan shaman to preside over LGBT weddings.

Carmel, California:

Here’s our personal favorite, Carmel, California. Wine enthusiasts will enjoy the gorgeously cool, dry weather of Carmel Valley. Known for producing some world renowned Bordeaux varietals of wine, wedding ceremonies in Carmel have beautiful views of the Santa Lucia Mountains, vineyards, and gardens.
