North Carolina Destination Weddings

We LOVE destination weddings! If you’ve followed our E’MAGINE Events & Co. for more than a minute, you know how much we love traveling and destination weddings, especially in the Caribbean. We also work with lots of local North Carolina couples to plan their weddings all over the state.

It looks like early 2021 might be a mashup of destination weddings, right here in North Carolina.

 

Destination 2021

The world is just starting to reopen after COVID-19. And weddings are just now starting to getting phased into opening in some locations. No one quite knows what to expect.

Our team is seeing that the international flights are going to be iffy for a while, with many routes being canceled or at least fewer flights. The other thing we are reading about is the possibility of 14-day quarantines of international visitors coming into some countries.

One thing that will remain in question will be how some resorts, restaurants, and services will bounce back in some smaller countries that have been closed for some time.

 

North Carolina Destination Weddings

2021 looks like, for many couples, it might be the year of the domestic destination wedding. Destination weddings in North Carolina can be a win-win. Domestic airlines are flying all over North Carolina, airfares are reasonably affordable, and we have some incredible resorts in Charlotte, Winston Salem, and the Raleigh-Durham Triad.

So, a North Carolina destination wedding that is just out of town for some family or a great getaway for out of town wedding guests is the perfect way to go.
