Always dreamed of getting the star treatment on your wedding day? Here’s a super-unique idea that will impress your guests and make your nuptials truly unforgettable: Get married at a celebrity’s house. Yes, you read that correctly. Here are five celebrities’ private properties you can rent for your fix of tropical A-list luxury.
Christie Brinkley
Several celebs, including supermodel Christie Brinkley, own homes at Parrot Cay resort in the Turks and Caicos that you can rent. Most of the houses come with private beaches and pool decks—prime spots for a rehearsal barbecue.
Frank Sinatra
This mid-century gem in the heart of Palm Springs, California, hosted some of the valley’s most glamorous Hollywood parties. But the best (party) is yet to come. You can have up to 50 guests for a wedding around the piano-shaped pool at Twin Palms.
Sting
Il Palagio, a 16th-century villa, is nestled along rolling hills (hello, vistas) near Florence, Italy. An extra perk of getting married at Sting’s house—not that you need one—is he and his wife make their own wine, olive oil and honey on the premises, perfect for your menu or favors.
Sir Richard Branson
For the ultimate, over-the-top, exclusive destination venue, take a look at Sir Richard Branson’s 74-acre private getaway on Necker Island in the British Virgin Islands. Although lightning from Hurricane Irene caused the media mogul’s main house to burn down in 2011, the new Balinese-style villa is even better.
Ian Fleming
Ian Fleming custom-built his GoldenEye villa at the same time he was writing his James Bond books. After Fleming’s death, the house underwent an expansion and eventually turned into a luxury resort. The first Bond film, Dr. No, was filmed at the Jamaican beachfront property.
