Do you spend hours daydreaming about the perfect wedding? Or have you recently been invited to a wedding that was so over-the-top (in the best way possible) that now you can't wait to have your own wedding? Whatever has put you in the wedding mood, there's no denying that where you choose to have your wedding is hugely important. You can go traditional and have your wedding at a church. You can opt for the new rustic theme and hold your ceremony at a barn, in a forest, or in a meadow somewhere. You can even have a destination wedding and say your vows on a mountain top in Switzerland. Finally, you also have the option to have the most lavish wedding in history. Unfortunately, this isn't an option for everyone as every couple has their own wedding budget - but a girl can dream, can't she? The list of luxurious wedding venues below are just that: ultra luxurious. From gold and marble to private pools and balconies overlooking some of the most famous sites in the world, if you're looking for opulence, look no further. Check out the top 15 most luxurious wedding venues in the world.

Always dreamed of having your own private island? Make your dream a reality for a few days by hosting your wedding at Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in Key West, Florida. Only accessible by sea plane or ferry, you will feel like you're lost on a desert island (in a good way). One of the most intimate locations on this list, the Little Palm Island Resort & Spa allows you to reserve the entire island for you and your wedding party.

There is a maximum of 60 guests allowed and only one wedding can be booked on any given day, ensuring 100% privacy. Given that you have access to your own private island, Johnny Depp-style, it's no surprise that this level of luxury comes with a pretty big price tag. Wedding packages start at $175,000.
