Apply for selection
I Do Abroad is an invitation-only collection of destination-wedding venues for UK couples. We send you couples who already know their date, their guest numbers and their budget. Zero commission.
Chosen, never collected
Couples trust the collection because it is edited. Every venue we accept meets six tests before an editor writes a single word about it.
Weddings are a craft here
You host weddings regularly, with a dedicated team, and you welcome couples and guests travelling from the UK.
A named coordinator
One person who owns the couple from first enquiry to the last dance, and who replies to every enquiry within 72 hours.
A plan for the weather
An indoor or covered backup with the same capacity and beauty as the main space, with photographs to prove it.
Prices in plain sight
Full price lists with service charges, taxes and gratuities stated upfront, and fair, written cancellation terms.
Room for the guests
Rooms on site, or quality hotels within fifteen minutes, with honest group rates and help arranging them.
A place worth the flight
Setting, food and service that would make a well-travelled couple choose you over a wedding at home.
These tests are the doorway to our Seven Standards, the commitment behind every I Do Verified venue.
From application to your first couple

Before you apply
Does selection cost anything?
No. Selection is free. If we select you, your page is written and published at no cost. Membership is optional, and it is what brings every matched couple’s name and contact to your wedding team.
Do you take commission on weddings?
Never. Not on the wedding, not on the rooms, not on anything a couple books with you. Members pay one annual fee and keep every pound of every wedding.
How long does selection take?
We reply to every application within five working days. After that, the pace is yours. Send your Seven Standards evidence when it is ready, and we publish your page once it is complete.
What evidence do you ask for?
Photographs of your outdoor and indoor backup spaces, full price lists including service charges and taxes, sample menus, cancellation terms and your coordinator’s details. Then you sign the I Do Abroad Standards Commitment.
What if we are not selected?
We tell you plainly, and we tell you why. You are welcome to reapply once anything has changed, such as a new backup space or clearer pricing.
How does the WTM special offer work?
Venues that join before 30 November pay £1,000 for their first year of full Membership, half the usual £1,999. From year two, Membership is £1,999 a year. Membership renews each year. We remind you 60 days before, and you can cancel any time before your renewal date.
