Celebrity Wedding Bar

The day after pop-rock singer Ashlee Simpson married Fall Out Boy’s bassist Pete Wentz in May 2008, the couple jetted off to Parrot Cay Resort and Spa in Turks & Caicos in the Caribbean. Located conveniently near the main islands, the resort offers the ultimate in privacy and quiet.

Parrot Cay’s 58 rooms and villas are made for luxurious relaxation, with teak furnishings and four-poster king-size beds clad in fine Italian linens. The rooms boast private sun decks with garden or ocean views; the one- to three-bedroom beach houses and villas boast private pools. The larger villas come with personal butlers.

VillaThe resort’s COMO Shambhala Retreat features yoga and Pilates studios and Asian-inspired holistic therapies. Couples can get pampered together in one of the double massage rooms, or heat up the romance in a Japanese bath. The retreat offers gorgeous views of the island’s wetlands; you may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of one of 175 species of birds nestled amid the mangroves.

You can swim in the resort’s 5,500-square-foot infinity pool, or head straight for the clear, temperate turquoise sea—the perfect place to snorkel or to take a deep-sea fishing trip. And don’t miss the 18-hole championship course designed by Karl Litten.

The food at the two on-site restaurants is healthy—and delicious. Try the soya bean, pumpkin and Swiss chard patties with tofu aioli and tabouleh salad, followed by the organic carrot cake with vanilla yogurt sorbet. At this resort, it’s all about life’s natural pleasures .

2010 has been a busy year for celebrity nuptials and they’ve had their honeymoons in some glorious places around the globe. HolidayCheck has information on where they went, and which hotels were favoured by the rich and famous.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green
Two of Hollywood’s most gorgeous inhabitants went to the equally gorgeous Big Island of Hawaii for their honeymoon. They stopped at the Hotel Four Seasons Resort Hualalai. HolidayCheckers who have also stopped there have described the hotel as having ‘super service,’ and have given it a 100% recommendation rate. They have been swimming with dolphins in the waters around Big Island.

Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem
This Spanish couple enjoyed a luxurious wedding, and spent their honeymoon in the Bahamas. One of the most popular hotels in the Bahamas on HolidayCheck is the Hotel Stella Maris Resort on Long Island. It is described as, ‘absolutely beautiful and wonderful’ by former guests, and would be the perfect resort for celebrating a honeymoon.

Emily Blunt and John Krasinski
The Young Victoria actress got married in style in Villa D’Este at George Clooney’s villa, on the banks of Lake Como in Italy. Lake Como has been home to many more stars, such as Versace und Sylvester Stallone, and is highly recommended by HolidayCheck users. The promenade and old town of Como have been highly rated by travellers, with the great views and ice cream parlours topping the lists. The newlyweds then went back to Los Angeles and stopped in West Hollywood for a quick getaway.

Vince Vaughn and Kyla Weber
Celebrating a honeymoon in the Windy City earlier this year, Vince and his new wife stayed in the Knickerbocker Hotel. All HolidayCheckers who’ve stayed in this hotel recommend it, and the features like best are the great location and impeccable service. Seeing the view of the city from the top of John Hancock tower at sunset would surely make any honeymoon magical.

Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr
The Pirates of the Caribbean star and the Victoria’s Secret model spent their honeymoon island-hopping between Anguilla, Mustique, and St Lucia. They stayed at the Hotel Viceroy Anguilla for £4,500 a night, where they enjoyed 35 acres of lush tropical gardens, as well as a private pool for just the two of them and spas. A personal butler was always on hand to tend to their every whim.

The Top Five Celebrity Honeymoon Destinations

Just as every couple is different, each couple has different ideas of what makes up their list of top honeymoon destinations. The honeymoon is a tradition that can lead to some beautiful memories for a newly married couple, but before those memories can be made, you of course must decide where to go. If you find yourself lost for ideas for where to go on your honeymoon, the best idea for brainstorming is to look at the top honeymoon destinations for other couples.

Aruba

While there are plenty of Caribbean destinations for your honeymoon, Aruba is one of the top honeymoon destinations due to its unique climate. Despite its location, the climate of Aruba is relatively arid, and it exists outside the path that most hurricanes take when they’re in season. Because of this, travelers are almost guaranteed that they’ll have a great honeymoon without a chance of getting rained out. With such a guarantee, it’s no wonder that Aruba is one of the world’s top honeymoon destinations.

Italy

For those who want to celebrate their honeymoon in Europe, many of the top honeymoon destinations are in Italy, and for good reason. With a rich history that goes back thousands of years, cities like Rome still have ancient architecture in place, providing sightseers with plenty to view. Other cities, such as Venice, provide beautiful, romantic canal rides that are perfect to celebrate a honeymoon. And of course, it goes without saying that the wine and food you’ll get in Italy will be wonderful, making this a great place for your honeymoon!

Florida

If you’re looking for top honeymoon destinations that are closer to home, consider Florida for your honeymoon. While it’s not quite as tropical as Hawaii, its location on the mainland makes it easy to get to, and there are still plenty of beaches and attractions to go to. Whether you go for relaxation in the Florida Keys or Cocoa Beach, there are plenty of places where you can get to the ocean. And if you don’t mind being around families, there’s always the theme parks of Orlando for the young at heart.

So, if you want a great vacation without having to get a passport, look no further than sunny Florida. But no matter where you decide to go, whether in the country or not, whether you go for sun and sand or for history and culture, these three top honeymoon destinations are great places to look at when you start your search for where you and your spouse want to go.

The Seychelles

In July 2000, back when Angie was still married to Billy Bob and before anyone had even heard of John Mayer, Brad and Jen celebrated their honeymoon holiday in the Seychelles. Not a couple to do anything by halves, they booked the entire Fregate Island, a plush resort that holds a maximum of 40 guests at a time. With hindsight this may seem an excessive waste of money, but actually the couple came away a lot better than the next pair of celebs to book out this romantic island; Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills.

However, honeymoon holidays on these picturesque islands will not necessarily lead to divorce. Liz Hurley and Arun Nayer have recently celebrated their 3rd wedding anniversary after honeymooning on Fregate Island in 2003.

The Maldives

The Maldives have always been a popular place for luxury honeymoons and Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ honeymoon holiday was of no exception. The couple spent a week cruising around the 1192 tiny islands on a friend’s classic yacht and even made time during their stay to eat out at the ultra-exclusive underwater restaurant in the Conrad Hotel on Rangali Island. The couple and their baby daughter, Suri, sadly had to head home early when their honeymoon holiday was blighted by a tropical storm.

The Maldives was also the luxury honeymoon destination of choice for Black-Eyed Peas singer, Fergie, when she married Josh Duhamel in January 2009. The glamorous couple stayed at a luxury hotel, in a secluded suite which is reported to have cost over £10,000 a week. They shunned the hotel’s restaurant in favour of a private butler, who cooked them freshly grilled crayfish from the terrace of the villa.

Phuket, Thailand

David Gest and Liza Minneli chose to take their luxury honeymoon at the romantic resort of Amanpuri in Phuket, Thailand. However this bizarre couple’s turbulent marriage lasted less than a year and a half and is a far cry from what must have been a relaxing and tranquil honeymoon holiday in a resort which literally translates to mean ‘place of peace’.

Barbados

Mick Jagger, Sting, The Beckhams and The Blairs are regularly seen topping up their tans at the exclusive Sandy Lane resort in Barbados, and even the Queen has been known to have paid the luxury hotel a visit. Therefore it was of no surprise that Tiger Woods choose to marry his long-term girlfriend at this destination. All of the guests were picked up from the airport in a Bentley, as is de rigueur at this hotel and the extravagant reception was held on the golf course. Cindy Crawford is another celebrity who has fallen to Barbados’ tropical charms; she married Rande Gerber in a beautiful barefoot ceremony on the island in 1998.

Fiji

Fiji was the luxury honeymoon destination of choice for Britney and K-Fed in 2004 and Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey in 2002. However, the longevity of these marriages can not be blamed on the romantic resort of Turtle Island, where both couples were staying at the time. Turtle Island is universally acknowledged to be the most romantic destination in the world. The private island is home to 14 private beaches, where moonlit picnics and bareback horse rides into the surf are commonplace. The island only lets on 12 couples at a time, meaning there are officially more beaches than couples in this luxury honeymoon destination.

Loved-up newly-weds Michelle Heaton and Hugh Hanley were forced to cool off in the sea when their passion got too hot to handle on honeymoon.

The 31-year-old former Liberty X singer and her Irish personal trainer and advertising sales manager husband were enjoying the last moments of their extended break before flying back to their Dublin home today.

The pair got married in the Bahamas last month and followed it immediately after with a honeymoon taking in Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Now a ‘celebrity stylist’ at a Dublin beauty parlour as well as a reality TV star – she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother last year – Michelle’s wedding to Hugh was splashed all over the pages of OK! magazine.

Then just last week, she posted up pictures on her Facebook of her getting a tattoo to commemorate her marriage.

The singer proudly showed off the inking, which read ‘from this moment 19.07.10′ to signify the date she married second husband Hugh Hanley.

She was previously married to former boyband star Andy Scott Lee, but they split in June 2008 after less than two years of marriage after she cheated on him.

Despite being best friends with Katie Price, the model also known as Jordan however failed to make Michelle’s wedding on the paradise island.

Robbie Williams and Ayda Field went on a secret “honeymoon”, before they got married. The couple jetted off to the Spanish island of Mallorca to spend a week at the 1,040-a-night pounds Hotel La Residencia in Deia before tying the knot in an intimate ceremony at their Beverly Hills home on August 7.

“Robbie loves Mallorca. He’s been quite a few times and feels at home there,” a source close to the couple said. “His schedule is really packed at the moment, so finding the time to get away for a traditional honeymoon was never going to be easy.”

Despite taking their holiday before their wedding in a bid to retain their privacy, Robbie, 36, was spotted serenading the 31-year-old actress in the hotel bar and they happily dined in the building’s restaurant with other guests. The insider added to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper, “Their pre-wedding break, or honey-half-moon as pals have dubbed it, was super romantic.”

“Robbie was a real softie. He kept surprising Ayda with flowers, small gifts and notes the entire time. They dined in the hotel’s El Olivo restaurant but Robbie, who doesn’t drink any more, shunned the extensive wine list and stuck to mineral water. On one evening he serenaded Ayda in front of other guests, and got a standing ovation.”

The couple are also expected to take a break in the English seaside town of Blackpool next month, when the “Angels” hitmaker is scheduled to switch on the resort’s famous illuminations.

Well, Hollywood celebs and big shot people are always talked about for various reasons. It can be for a break up or a new couple or the most lavish party. But there is something in which you can truly see celebs competing or atleast trying to prove that they’re worth it!

Wedding ceremonies are supposed to attract attention and more than that the honeymoon destination is what the paparazzi die to hear. Private ocean rooms, private villas, renting a yacht, or most extravagant buying it, people have done it all!

Till the reports say, Tiger Woods is that one celeb which made it really big on the honeymoon front. Not everybody’s cup of tea though, the star golfer gifted a yacht to his wife Elin. The extended honeymoon had been for more than a month reportedly and has made it to the most expensive honeymoon by a celeb, rounding till about $57 million.

There are many others who had been to the most expensive honeymoon destinations and have made it to the news. However, it has been noted that even the common couple now go for a lot of expenditure as far as honeymoon and privacy with the loved one is considered.

Celebrities have been famous and in news for many reasons. Leaving their stardom aside, they also create news when they officially state that they are about to marry the love of their life. And obviously they are stars so they spend a galaxy of money on their weddings and honeymoon.

There are many celebs that top the list on being the top rated couple to have a lavish honeymoon overseas. Do you have the least idea of what Tiger Woods spent on his honeymoon with wife Elin Nordegren? Well, firstly he gifted her yacht named ‘The Privacy’ and later the extended long honeymoon did cost him somewhere close to $57 million. This was just an extravagant amount compared to the grand scale on which his wedding took place, when he rented 110 rooms and three golf courses for a period of 3 days which cost him around $1.5 – $2 million.

This, however, was a celebrity golfer, but it is believed that all the Americans spend a whole lot of what they can afford on their honeymoon. If taken an average then we can say that $3,700 is the minimum amount spent.

After a plush wedding and supposedly the Fairy Tale theme, the couple did enjoy each and every moment of their lovely wedding day. After the wedding they took the jet to fly out to Tahiti for a private honeymoon and most importantly for a honeymoon out of the eyes of paparazzi. In fact, it has been said that Nicole and Keith were the first guests of the royal estate over water luxury bungalow at the St. Regis Resort in Bora Bora, located at French Polynesia.

The room rates per night in here, is around $15,000 per night. However, Kidman and Urban was also not the lone couple there. Longoria and Parker also landed in Bora Bora minutes after their flight and hence the entire resort was taken to completely strict security and there were patrolling carried out to ensure privacy for the couple’s located there and the paparazzi was the only thing that had to be kept miles away from the resort.

The bungalow in which the newlywed Kidman and urban stayed was equipped with a Jacuzzi and a private pool to offer them complete luxury. No matter they were reported to have spent most of the time inside the bungalow only.
