Ever considered a multi-day wedding? It’s the ultimate way to elevate your celebration into a chic weekend getaway. Kick off with a welcome party to bring everyone together, followed by fun activities that highlight the destination and local culture, the main event, and a relaxed post-wedding brunch. This approach embraces slow living, giving you and your guests the chance to really soak it all in!
Why Go Multi-Day?
Why rush? With a multi-day wedding, your guests get the chance to connect, and everything feels more intentional. It takes extra planning and a bit more budget, but the deeper connections and relaxed vibe make it so worth it. And with the right vendors on your side, it’s smooth sailing.
Planning a Multi-Day Wedding
Breaking down the planning makes everything feel manageable. Here’s your cheat sheet:
PLAN YOUR EVENTS
Think 3-4 days of celebration. Start with a welcome dinner, then the wedding, and finish off with a next-day brunch.
CHOOSE THE PERFECT VENUE
Look for a venue that offers flexibility—indoor/outdoor spaces, event rooms, and even on-site accommodations to keep it all convenient.
Partner with the Right Vendors:
Early contact with vendors is key. You’ll need a team that’s experienced in extended celebrations—florists, caterers, photographers—who can handle multiple days without missing a beat.
Fun Itinerary Ideas
- Welcome Party: Kick things off with a laid-back get-together where everyone can mingle.
- Wedding Party Fun Day: Plan a group activity like boating, wine tasting, or a chill spa day.
- Post-Wedding Brunch: End on a high note with a brunch before everyone says their goodbyes.

Making the Most of a Destination Wedding
A multi-day celebration and destination wedding go hand in hand. Instead of cramming everything into one day, you’ll have time to really enjoy the location. Picture a few days at Villa Cipressi in Lake Como, with cooking classes or a boat tour on the lake. Or maybe renting a yacht in Cabo, whale watching, and beachside relaxation. And for the adventurers, a sunrise hike in Lake Tahoe followed by a calming spa day. It’s more than just a wedding–it’s a weekend celebrating friendship, family, culture, and above all–love!
PLANNING TIPS & BUDGETING FOR A MULTI-DAY WEDDING
- Work with Experts: Your wedding planner and vendors will be your lifesavers. Let them handle the logistics while you live the moment.
- Splurge on the Venue: Choose a spot with on-site accommodations and versatile spaces—it’ll make everything easier and more luxurious.
- Go Big on Photography: Invest in a photographer who captures not only the big moments but also the real, candid in-betweens. Those unscripted memories will be what you cherish forever.
- Food Matters: Don’t skimp here. Elevate your guest experience with top-notch dining that’ll have everyone talking.
- Guest Experience: Think welcome gifts, delicious meals, and thoughtful touches throughout the celebration to make your guests feel appreciated and part of the journey.
