While it’s fun to host weddings in your hometown, there has been a surge in destination weddings at exotic locations around the world in recent years. However it might add to the cost of the wedding and not everyone in the family may have the time or means to attend it. Therefore I have gathered five amazing wedding destinations within Pakistan where you can host your most memorable day surrounded by your loved ones and the gorgeous landscapes of our beautiful country.

1. Hidden Hills Hotel and Resort, Mansehra

The Hidden Hills Hotel and Resort has meticulously designed lodges and villas to accommodate the guests  and the variety of restaurants, cafes, spas and kids zone to entertain them. The lush green lawns and the mountains are the perfect backdrop to add magic to your memorable event.

It has been all the rage since Mahira Khan’s wedding pictures went viral which showcased the magnificent mountainous views surrounding the hotel. One can’t resist swooning over the grandeur of the gorgeous event decor and the picturesque scenery that surrounds it. You should definitely consider this fashionable destination.

3. French Beach. Karachi

If you are a beach person, the French beach in Karachi is the perfect location to say your vows. The mesmerizing sun and the soothing sound of sea waves will make your wedding an unforgettable affair. The huts at the beach can accommodate all the guests while also offering numerous activities like jet skiing, snorkeling and bonfires.

4. Silk Route Hotel, Hunza

Each corner and cranny of Hunza looks like a piece of heaven. The Silk Route hotel is located in the heart of Hunza valley in Passu village. The hotel doesn’t just offer breath-taking views but it also offers other amenities for the guests.

5. Mariano Restaurant and Spa, Rawalpindi

Mariano Restaurant and Spa is located in Bahria golf city. As the name suggests, it offers lavish spa and restaurant services along with a fitness center and a vast golf course. It also offers banquet halls and outdoor event services. Islamabad’s perfect balance of natural beauty and access to all the facilities makes it the best of both worlds if you are a city person. The typical hilly urban infrastructure adds to the enchantment of the surrounding landscape.

There’s no denying that there are many limitations to planning an ideal destination wedding in Pakistan. Especially the lack of proper infrastructure and the good old Pakistani trait of lacking punctuality. You may overall reconsider it to avoid the stress while planning your big day. Outsourcing event planning, a travel agency and inviting fewer but important guests would take away from your worries. You would be able to relax and enjoy your decision to have a destination wedding at your favorite location. The cherished memories and the tranquil experience of a picturesque location would be worth taking the plunge.
