Why Estate and Destination Weddings Are the Ultimate Luxury

Estate and destination weddings are more than just beautiful—they’re a fully immersive expression of what makes your love one-of-a-kind, making them the ultimate luxury.

The Ultimate Luxury

There’s something utterly enchanting about a wedding that unfolds far from the ordinary. Whether it’s tucked inside a stately estate or perched cliffside at a mountain retreat, estate and destination weddings offer something that standard venues often cannot: an all-encompassing experience. It’s not just about the ceremony. It’s about creating a world your guests step into—intimate, intentional, and unforgettable.

At Faith Ferguson Productions, we’ve spent years designing luxury events that transport guests and reflect each couple’s story. Estate and destination weddings are more than just beautiful—they’re a fully immersive expression of what makes your love one-of-a-kind.

The Experience Begins With a Luxe Setting

Private estates offer elegance steeped in charm—whether historic, modern, or pastoral—and destination weddings extend that allure with the gift of travel. These venues allow you to take over a space and make it feel like home for the weekend, where your closest friends and family can settle in, relax, and celebrate.

Take Brooke and Matt’s wedding in Beaver Creek, Colorado, for example. With majestic mountain views and a crisp alpine breeze, the destination became a breathtaking part of the experience. Guests were greeted with a welcome reception that felt more like an elegant gathering in a storybook lodge, where the weekend unfolded at a peaceful, elevated pace.

Total Customization, Elevated

Traditional venues come with limitations. Estates and destinations, on the other hand, offer a canvas for high-level customization. Whether you dream of a twilight ceremony in an olive grove, a candlelit dinner in a ballroom, or an open-air tented reception beneath the stars—these settings allow us to design without boundaries.

Every moment becomes part of the aesthetic. There are no pre-set packages—only curated experiences.

“Our clients don’t want a wedding that looks like anyone else’s. These venues let us build something that’s completely personal, layered with design, mood, and meaning.”

-Faith Ferguson, Owner & Lead Planner

For Brooke and Matt, that meant blending the natural grandeur of the Rockies with refined design. Lush floral installations softened the bold mountain landscape, while an intimate ceremony space was designed to feel both sacred and relaxed—elegance wrapped in warmth.

Built-In Luxury for You and Your Guests

Estate and destination weddings inherently feel more luxurious—not just because of the setting, but because of the way the entire weekend unfolds. Welcome dinners, curated excursions, fireside toasts, spa days, and more… Each event surrounding the wedding is an opportunity to delight your guests and deepen your experience.

Faith Ferguson Productions specializes in this layered approach—where hospitality and celebration go hand-in-hand.

In Beaver Creek, Brooke and Matt’s guests enjoyed a full wedding weekend with access to mountain activities and cozy fireside lounges. The flow was intentionally designed so that nothing felt rushed—just joyful moments surrounded by beauty, from the morning hike to the candlelit reception dinner.

The Investment in Memories

Yes, estate and destination weddings often involve a greater investment. But what you gain is beyond monetary: time with loved ones, fewer distractions, a seamless flow, and a celebration that feels like you. That’s luxury.

We work closely with trusted venues, travel partners, and exceptional creative vendors to ensure every element—from transportation to table settings—is handled with care and clarity.

Planning Made Personal

While these weddings may be more complex behind the scenes, our team ensures they feel effortless. From scouting the ideal estate to managing guest travel and building a schedule that balances celebration and downtime, we handle the logistics so you can stay grounded in the joy.

Whether in the Hudson Valley or halfway across the country, we bring the same level of precision, warmth, and creativity to every wedding we plan.

“There’s a unique kind of magic in destination weddings. You’re building an experience not just for one day, but for an entire journey—one that begins with anticipation and ends with unforgettable memories. It’s an honor to help couples shape that story with intention and love.”
