Pick the right time, right place for your honeymoon
Right place, right time
Honeymoon destinations have peak times just like any
other tourist destination and knowing when and where to
celebrate your marriage can be valuable knowledge. (MS

MS — A honeymoon provides a
welcome retreat for couples after
months upon months of budgeting,
planning and ironing out the details
of their weddings. On their
honeymoons, couples get the chance
to escape the pressures of everyday
life and simply enjoy being alone
with each other in special locations.
Honeymoon vacations can be
expensive, and many couples want
to ensure they get the best value for
their trips. A honeymoon that is
overshadowed by inclement weather
can make this once-in-a-lifetime trip
memorable for all the wrong
reasons. While not every hiccup can
be avoided, couples can plan their
honeymoons for those times of year
when specific locales experience
their best weather.
• Jamaica: Couples tying the knot
in the earlier part of the year may
want to honeymoon in Jamaica.

With average temperatures between
25°C and 30°C year-round, Jamaica
makes for a great honeymoon
destination. January through April
see less rain than other times of the
year, and keep in mind June through
the end of December is hurricane
season.
• Australia: People opting to get
married in the winter in the Northern
Hemisphere might want to escape
the cooler temperatures and shorter
days with a honeymoon south of the
equator. Australia and New Zealand
are beautiful spots to visit and enjoy
summer when those in the Northern
Hemisphere are mired in winter.
• France: Paris and other French
cities can be enchanting to visit any
time of the year, but locals advise
honeymooners visit in September
when the climate is quite
comfortable and tourism is minimal
Spring is another great time to visit
France, especially for those people
who want to spend plenty of time
outdoors.
• Mexico: Areas of Mexico, such
as popular Cancun and Cozumel,
tend to stay warm all year long, but
they can be particularly hot in the
summer. Spring brides and grooms
may want to venture there before the
summer season is in full swing.
Couples might want to avoid
vacationing in certain areas in
March, as students visiting for
spring break may compromise the
romantic atmosphere honeymooners
are hoping for.
• Hawaii: Spring and summer can
be ideal times to visit the islands of
Hawaii, as the weather can be
beautiful and travel tends to be less
expensive during these times of year.
Rains increase as autumn sets in, and
Hawaii often sees the bulk of its
vacationers during the winter,
meaning higher costs and bigger
crowds.
• Italy: April through June and
September through October are
some of the best times to visit Italy.
Be aware that Venice tends to be
misty and damp during the late fall
and early spring. Italy, especially
southern Italy and Sicily, can get
quite hot during the peak summer
months.
Weather and tourism should be
considered as newlyweds choose
where to go on their honeymoons.
