Your special day with Thomson

Your wedding is a day you want to remember all your life – so you’ll be concentrating on every single detail. Seating arrangements, bridesmaids dresses, flower arrangements – they all have to be considered.

Here at Thomson, we can whisk you off to sun-blushed shores where you can tie the knot in style. Not only that, we can take away the headache of planning your special day. That's right, you can leave all the hard work to us. So all you have to worry about is remembering to say 'I do' at the right point.

Essential ingredients

You can plan your wedding exactly as you’d like it of course. But most Thomson weddings include all these essential ingredients you’ll need to plan your perfect day:

A Thomson Weddings Representative who will take care of all the arrangements.
The all important ceremony, marriage licence, certificate and registrar fees.
A bouquet for the bride, and a buttonhole for the groom.
Wedding cake and a sparkling wine toast.

Some free packages may not include things like the cake or flowers – so please check all the details with us before you book.

The perfect venue

Everyone has their own dreams of where to tie the knot. Maybe you’re imagining a backdrop of palm trees, white sand and the blue sea. Or it might be a stunning mountain setting that’s right for you. With Thomson, you can choose from huge range of places from the Caribbean to Cyprus, Mexico to Malta. Even a game reserve in Kenya is an option – the possibilities are almost endless. Of course, you’re not just limited to destinations on dry land. We also offer you the option of a Ceremony of Blessing on board one of our luxurious cruise ships – with the captain or a senior officer on hand to lead the ceremony.

Honeymoons

If your wedding is the most important day of your life – your honeymoon is the most important holiday of your life. And at Thomson, perfecting your experience is our top priority. Of course, if you’re getting married abroad – you’re on your honeymoon from the moment the ceremony ends. Otherwise, simply get on the plane, relax with a glass of champagne – and let us take care of everything. Wherever you choose to spend your first holiday as husband and wife – we’ve got plenty of ideas to make the experience one to remember. Call 0871 231 4880 for more information on honeymoons. (calls cost 10p per minute at all times from BT landlines, other operator networks may vary).

Renewing your vows

Your wedding was the happiest day of your life – so why not do it all over again? And what better place to relive all those great memories than your dream holiday destination? Thomson can make all your arrangements to make the day just as special as the original. Or if you don’t want to go for the full ceremony – why not simply spend some quality time together with a second honeymoon? Just like our wedding ceremonies, there are plenty of great destinations for you to choose from. The striking scenery of Santorini. A ceremony beside the sea in Cuba. Take a look at all the options, choose the destination that suits you - and start looking forward to your time away.
