This historic, 5 star luxury hotel is perched on the cliffs of the rustic Amalfi Coast with Mediterranean architecture, colorful tile and endless rows of lemon trees adding to the already quintessential Italian feel. The staff is incredibly helpful in working with the Mae&Co team to make any couple’s dream come true. The immaculate dining room is an elegant sun filled room with floor to ceiling windows where you can overlook the sea and nearby town of Amalfi while toasting with local wines and enjoying the highest quality Italian dishes.

Have your ceremony in the garden, your cocktail hour along the cliffside pool and your reception inside the beautiful and elegant private dining area. This venue is a show stopper for those wanting to run away and get married in the heard of Italy’s famous Amalfi Coast.

Willow House

This modern desert retreat is located in West Texas, just 6 miles from the incredible Big Bend National Park. Located on 250 acres of private land and boasting unobstructed views of the beautiful Chisos Mountain Range, the options at Willow House are truly endless.

The clean lines and muted tones of the building blend in to the vast surrounding desert, allowing for a design as bold and bright or as minimal and earthy as you like. The twelve onsite, luxury casitas can sleep up to 26 guests - making this the people location for an intimate celebration. You and your guests can spend a long weekend hiking, stargazing and exploring all of the beauty that the Texas desert has to offer.

Acre Baja

Just on the outskirts of San Jose del Cabo, a charming desert town on the Baja Peninsula, you’ll find Acre, a private jungle oasis tucked within the sprawling hills. From the boutique, luxury treehouses surrounded by palms to the elegant, tiled mango orchard, every corner you turn at Acre is bursting with both modern architecture and lush, tropical gardens.

The flow from the grassy ceremony site to cocktail hour by the pool, followed by dinner and dancing in the orchard makes for seamless transitions and an altogether effortless event. Their onsite award-winning bar and restaurant - serving authentic dishes made from locally sourced ingredients - can cater an event from as small as 20, or as large as 500. Rent out all 12 treehouses and you and your guests can keep the party going as long as your heart desires.

Pink House Azores

Just a two hour flight from Lisbon, lies the magical island of Saõ Miguel, which is home to the infamous Pink House; a historic barn, renovated to reflect simple, contemporary aesthetics and spaces. Surrounded by tranquil gardens and abundant fruit orchards, this space is idyllic for hosting an intimate destination event.

With 5 acres of beautifully manicured land, there are countless spaces to host the events of your special day. We love the idea of utilizing the gardens for both ceremony and reception, with cocktail hour revolving around the property’s stunning pool. Between the main house and the smaller studio, the pink property can accommodate 7 guests overnight. But not to worry, San Miguel has both modern, high end hotels and charming Airbnbs scattered throughout this vibrant, European island.

This high-end, private estate in the Hudson Valley is just 70 miles from bustling New York City. Mixing rustic architecture with modern amenities, this upstate venue is timeless and the idyllic place to spend a long weekend celebrating your marriage, surrounded by the people you love most. The estate boasts immaculate indoor and outdoor spaces for events of any size and the luxury onsite lodging, spa and restaurant ensure all of your needs are met, right onsite.

A mountain top ceremony, cocktail hour by the lake, followed by dinner in the expansive 5,400 sq. foot barn is the perfect flow for a luxury event. However, with multiple different venues onsite, you can select the spaces that suite you, your style and your guest count best.

Kima Tulum

Just a few minutes from the vibrant city center of Tulum, this modern oasis is situated on 2.5 acres of lush, private, jungle. With three luxurious guest suites, a stunning lap pool and beautiful, secluded spaces this tropical villa is the idyllic space for a small destination event.

We love this space because unlike most venues, this space is entirely yours. With a full buyout of the property, you’re able to enjoy a completely private stay and create a truly curated event with the vendors of your choice.

This luxury Marrakech venue offers both culture and convenience with beautiful Moroccan architecture, 38 onsite guest suites and a high-end spa offering both modern and traditional services. We love this venue because the spaces are all so individually unique, yet cohesive, providing the perfect flow for an event of any size.

The greenhouse, with lush flora and soaring glass ceilings, is the most stunning space for an intimate, yet lavish reception. Imagine sitting around a long table, dining on Mediterranean cuisine, surrounded by the elaborate structure and flourishing native plants. Beldi Country Club offers tradition and culture without sacrificing glamour.
