11 Special Edition Switzerland Planning to tie the knot soon? With its easy accessibility, magnificent landscapes, and top- notch hospitality, Switzerland has all the ingredients for the perfect destination wedding. This is something that Jessicacindy can attest to; in January 2019, the Singapore-based internationally- acclaimed gown designer held her wedding at Le Grande Bellevue hotel in Gstaad, and she has only positive things to say about the experience. “From the serene majesty of the Swiss Alps, which made for the ultimate picture-postcard backdrop for the wedding, to the comfortable train rides offering guests amazing views of the untouched natural surroundings, Switzerland was a perfect choice,” she shares. In fact, she was so enamoured that she returned to Switzerland a few months later to explore more wedding venues. Here, we highlight why Switzerland is the ideal destination for your big day. GREAT TRANSPORT LINKS With its central European location and numerous flight connections — Zurich Airport alone has flights to a whopping 184 destinations in 66 countries – Switzerland offers easy access for international guests. It’s also a breeze to get around the country, thanks to its compact size and excellent public transport infrastructure — a comprehensive network of trains, buses, and boats. “Transportation was not an issue as the trains, and the SBB Mobile app made commuting easy and hassle- free,” remembers Jessicacindy. This means that your guests can spend less time commuting and more time enjoying your special day. SCENIC SETTINGS Snowy peaks, lush meadows, picturesque lakes — Switzerland’s splendid landscapes look straight out of the pages of a fairy tale. What’s more, you can recite your vows in all sorts of unusual venues — in a historic castle, on a boat, in a mountain hut, or even on a cable car! “The sights of Switzerland never disappoint. We didn’t need many decors for our wedding as nature was already the perfect backdrop,” says Wan Long, Jessicacindy’s husband. “Also, the snowfall added a magical touch to our special day.” While many couples, such as Jessicacindy and Wan Long, opt for a classic winter wedding (best held between mid-December and end-March), the other seasons have their own charms, too. For instance, intrepid types can opt for an adventure wedding in the summer, spicing up their special day with high-octane outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, climbing, and sailing.
