Before diving into the fun, of course, you have to handle the many tedious details of this major life event. But just coordinating with photographers, stylists, booking flights, hotels, and itineraries through a travel agency, and figuring out how to transport several large boxes of wedding dresses to Guam can already dampen your enthusiasm for holding an overseas wedding. To address this, Taiwanese travel company “Southeast Travel Agency” has partnered with Japanese wedding planning firm “Goodluck Corporation” to soon open the first professional “Overseas Wedding Travel Flagship Store” in the Taipei metropolitan area. They offer comprehensive overseas wedding travel package services. The “mirror-style” service means that any accessories tried on and selected in Taiwan will have identical versions available at all overseas branches, so you can wear your chosen wedding dress right away upon arrival. In addition to taking wedding photos, you can also enjoy a sweet travel experience just for the two of you. Their thoughtful and professional package services take care of everything in one go—flights, hotels, travel itineraries, hair and makeup, wedding photography, and more. Moreover, the first 10 couples who sign up and pay a deposit for a Guam overseas wedding package can choose their ceremony venue. The [Basic Plan] wedding package offers a fixed price: only NT$62,000 for Guam and NT$79,000 for Okinawa, with up to 58% discount on wedding packages, helping girls realize their dream of an overseas wedding.

After tying the knot in Guam, where should you go to relax? At this time, why not head to Tumon Bay to splash in the waves, see how the locals enjoy a laid-back lifestyle, ring the Lover’s Bell at Two Lovers Point for eternal love, or visit the Fish Eye Marine Park to snorkel near the Lover’s Bridge and admire Guam’s magical underwater world? Then arrange a sunset cruise dinner to let the golden glow fully rejuvenate both of you.
Tumon Bay
Located in the northwest of Guam, Tumon Bay is a 4-kilometer-long semi-circular bay. Surrounded by natural coral reefs that act as barriers, it enjoys calm waters, making it the perfect spot for tourists to enjoy the surf. Along the shores of Tumon Bay are three famous public beaches—Ypao Beach, Matapang Beach, and Fafai Beach—all free of charge. To understand how the laid-back people of Guam spend their lives and find leisure, a visit here will quickly reveal the charm.

Two Lovers Point
Two Lovers Point is a very famous attraction in Guam. After being privately purchased and redeveloped, a beautifully designed observation deck was added, offering stunning views of the Philippine Sea and Tumon Bay. The origin of Two Lovers Point tells the legend of a beautiful Chamorro maiden who fell in love with a young man from her tribe but was promised by her father to a Spanish officer of high status. The maiden and her lover arranged to meet at a high cliff in Tumon Bay, tied their hair together as a symbol of eternal togetherness, and then jumped off the cliff to their deaths. Beside the plaza of Two Lovers Point is a Lover’s Bell, gifted by Shizuoka Prefecture in Japan, as they have a similar legend there—legend says that couples who ring the bell together will stay in love forever.
