More couples expected to say ‘I Do’ to Destination Weddings in 2022 to avoid pandemic venue backlog

2.6 million weddings are expected to happen in the United States this year – a record high, which means that wedding venues and services are in high demand and many face the prospect of long waits to tie the knot.

Postponements, cancellations, number reductions and other difficult decisions have been at the forefront of weddings over the past two years, and with a subsequent surge of nuptials now on the horizon, new trends have emerged.

More couples are expected to ditch domestic weddings and instead tie the knot abroad, with destination weddings offering an alternative to waiting out the backlogs in venues caused by the pandemic. 

According to data, 25% of all weddings throughout 2019 took place abroad and this number is only expected to soar in the coming years with destination weddings offering a time-saving solution to many couples’ ‘wedding woes’. 

2.6 million weddings are expected to happen in the United States this year – a record high, which means that wedding venues and services are in high demand and many face the prospect of long waits to tie the knot.

It’s a situation that couples are facing around the world too, with many venues in the UK being entirely booked up until 2023 and those that are free now starting to increase their prices according to wedding planners. 

For couples who have been waiting months, if not years, to tie the knot, the scenario is far from ideal. Yet, with travel restrictions now gradually easing after nearly two years, destination weddings are a much more feasible option and allow couples to combine their desire to travel with their longing to finally get married.

Luxury Villa providers Dynamic Lives offer the ultimate wedding villas for those looking to tie the knot abroad. Located on the island of Ibiza, these villas are handpicked by the Dynamic Lives team to ensure that guests only experience the height of luxury.

George Burdon, Co-founder of Dynamic Lives, said: “The pandemic has made it hard, if not impossible, for couples who planned to get married during the last two years to do so and the high demand for weddings now that restrictions have eased means that planning the big wedding day will continue to be difficult for the foreseeable.”

“That’s why destination weddings are the perfect solution as the world really is your oyster and the possibilities for venues is essentially endless. At Dynamic Lives, we are gearing up for this trend and welcoming couples to hold their special day in our luxury wedding villas.”
