When couples choose a destination wedding, they're not just planning a ceremony—they're creating an immersive experience. One of the things we love most at My Forever Weddings is helping couples design moments that their guests will talk about for years. From unique transportation to intimate island escapes, these guest experiences take wedding weekends from beautiful to unforgettable.

Here are some of our all-time favorites:

A Cocktail Hour on an Old-Fashioned Amsterdam Tram

There's something undeniably magical about watching a historic European city roll by from the windows of a vintage tram.

For one of our Amsterdam weddings, we transformed an old-fashioned tram into a moving cocktail hour—complete with drinks, music, and plenty of laughter as we traveled through the cobblestone streets. Guests sipped cocktails while passing iconic canals and crooked houses, soaking in the sights in the most unexpected way

It was fun, nostalgic, and completely one-of-a-kind. No one forgot this moment—and if you want to see the full story, you can read the feature on the wedding we wrote about this unforgettable day.

A Pub Crawl Cocktail Hour in the Heart of Amsterdam

Amsterdam is full of cozy hidden pubs, and we love giving guests a taste of the city's local charm.

For another celebration, we traded a traditional cocktail hour for a mini pub crawl. After the ceremony, we led guests through the center of Amsterdam to a small local pub—a spot filled with character, cold drinks, and stories from the city itself.

It felt authentic, intimate, and distinctly Dutch. The perfect way to ease into an evening of celebration.

A Welcome BBQ + Pool Party in France

Some weekends deserve a fun, carefree beginning—and this one certainly did.

Imagine arriving at a private estate in France and being greeted not by a formal dinner, but by the smell of a sizzling BBQ, a sparkling pool, and your favorite playlist flowing through the air. Guests swam, danced around the pool, and mingled under the warm French sun.

It was the perfect "welcome to the weekend" moment—relaxed, joyful, and full of energy.

An Intimate, Guest-Free Elopement on Zanzibar

On the opposite end of the spectrum: no guests at all.

One of our most dreamy experiences was an elopement on the beaches of Zanzibar, where the couple felt as though they had the entire island to themselves. They exchanged vows with their feet in the sand, enjoyed cocktails on a boat at sunset, and ended the night with an incredible candlelit dinner under a sky full of stars.

It was peaceful. Romantic. Pure magic.

If you're dreaming of an elopement that feels deeply personal, this is the kind of setting that turns a simple ceremony into a once-in-a-lifetime memory.

A Plane Full of Guests on Their Way to Mallorca

Sometimes the guest experience begins before anyone even arrives at the destination.

For a wedding in Mallorca, the couple invited all their guests to travel together on the same plane. The excitement started right at the airport, with friends and family filling the terminal chatter with laughter and anticipation. Once on the island, guests enjoyed an all-inclusive wedding weekend full of sunshine, incredible food, live music, and thoughtful planning that took all the stress out of travel.

Because every detail was arranged for them, guests spent the entire weekend simply enjoying the island—and celebrating the couple.

Crafting Experiences Guests Will Never Forget

These moments—whether adventurous, intimate, or joyfully unexpected—are what make destination weddings so special. They bring people together, immerse them in a place, and create experiences that feel just as meaningful as the ceremony itself.

And that's exactly what we love planning: weddings that aren't just beautiful, but full of unforgettable stories.

If you're dreaming up a destination wedding and want to craft an experience your guests will never forget, we'd love to help bring it to life.
