Do you spend hours daydreaming about the perfect wedding? Or have you recently been invited to a wedding that was so over-the-top (in the best way possible) that now you can't wait to have your own wedding? Whatever has put you in the wedding mood, there's no denying that where you choose to have your wedding is hugely important. You can go traditional and have your wedding at a church. You can opt for the new rustic theme and hold your ceremony at a barn, in a forest, or in a meadow somewhere. You can even have a destination wedding and say your vows on a mountain top in Switzerland. Finally, you also have the option to have the most lavish wedding in history. Unfortunately, this isn't an option for everyone as every couple has their own wedding budget - but a girl can dream, can't she? The list of luxurious wedding venues below are just that: ultra luxurious. From gold and marble to private pools and balconies overlooking some of the most famous sites in the world, if you're looking for opulence, look no further. Check out the top 15 most luxurious wedding venues in the world.

15 Oberoi Udaivilas - Udaipur, India

A true gem of the East, Oberoi Udaivilas is consistently ranked as the top hotel in India and Asia. This 5-star resort offers amazing services, food, a spa, and incredibly lavish suites. The resort consists of 450 hand-stone columns, and domes made of gold and white marble. Oberoi Udaivilas' suites have their own living room, dining room, private pools, 24-hour butler service, in addition to the usual perks like a mini bar, flat-screen TV, and entertainment system. The resort overlooks the picturesque Lake Pichola and the resort offers private boat tours that take you across the lake, pointing out the city sites. In addition, the resort boasts amenities like a gym, spa, outdoor pool, lounge, and two upscale restaurants. In essence, you could very easily stay at this resort and never leave it (and once you see it, you won't want to). The cost is about $8,000 per night, so if you have a budget that large, this could be a great place to hold your wedding.

14 Little Palm Island Resort - Key West, Florida

Always dreamed of having your own private island? Make your dream a reality for a few days by hosting your wedding at Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in Key West, Florida. Only accessible by sea plane or ferry, you will feel like you're lost on a desert island (in a good way). One of the most intimate locations on this list, the Little Palm Island Resort & Spa allows you to reserve the entire island for you and your wedding party. Once the island is reserved, you can choose where you would like to have your wedding ceremony - on the island's white sandy beaches, at the end of the Sunset Dock or even at the resort. The resort features colonial-style bungalows, all with private decks, outdoor showers, ocean views, and jacuzzis. Sounds pretty romantic to me. There is a maximum of 60 guests allowed and only one wedding can be booked on any given day, ensuring 100% privacy. Given that you have access to your own private island, Johnny Depp-style, it's no surprise that this level of luxury comes with a pretty big price tag. Wedding packages start at $175,000.

13 Belmond Hotel Caruso - Ravello, Italy

Set on a cliff overlooking Italy's breathtaking Amalfi Coast, this 11th century palace is one of the most romantic locations on this list. The hotel features marble bathrooms, Neapolitan style bedrooms, terraces, private gardens, frescoed ceilings, and a 900-year-old Duomo of Ravello. Other amenities include an upscale restaurant, a piano bar, an outdoor pool with a swim-up bar, a luxurious spa, and a fitness centre. In terms of where you would be hosting your wedding, you have two options at the Belmond Hotel Caruso. The first is a ballroom reception with a four-course dinner and a poolside ceremony. The second is the "ultimate takeover" package which allows guests to occupy all 50 rooms and suites that the hotel offers. It costs $1,850 USD to stay at the hotel for one night, and accordingly wedding packages can go up to $430,000.

12 Tribeca Rooftop - Manhattan, New York

Get married in style in the heart of New York City. Just a little bit hipper than your classic NYC wedding locations, the Tribeca Rooftop allows you to get married on the literal rooftop of a building. Just 12 floors, and yet you can see some amazing views that include the Empire State Building and the Hudson River. If getting married on a rooftop with the beautiful New York City skyline behind you isn't your thing, you also have the option of hosting the ceremony at Tribeca Rooftop's indoor hall. The industrial feel of the building is very much in tune with modern wedding trends, so whether you want to host your wedding indoors or outdoors (or perhaps a mix of both), you're in good hands at the Tribeca Rooftop. In addition to the unbeatable views, Tribeca Rooftop offers some of the best catering in the world. If you choose to have your wedding there, you will work with the venue's culinary team to design a menu suitable to your tastes. The executive chef is Joe Jenkins who is a master at using local and fresh food and coming up with super unique and innovative dishes.

11 Musha Cay - Bahamas

A 150-acre private island in the southern Bahamas could be your dream wedding venue. The island is owned by famous illusionist David Copperfield and in line with its owner, is pure magic. Described as one of the most secluded spots on earth, Musha Cay is perfect if you're looking for an ultra-private ceremony. Only 24 guests are allowed on the island at one time meaning only your closest family and friends will actually be able to attend you wedding. However, it's a small price to pay considering the island's beauty. Described as "a completely unspoiled tropical environment with a myriad of flowers, swaying palms and foliage," Musha Cay sounds like a breathtaking destination. With purchase of a wedding package, you are able to use the island's speed boat, paddle boards, tennis courts, spa, and beachside day beds whenever you like. There is a minimum of a five night stay and wedding packages cost approximately $260,000. Think of it this way though, you won't have to spend extra money on a honeymoon since you are already in paradise.

The Lake Room overlooks the lake and is surrounded by gardens. For $60,000, you can get married at The Loeb Central Boathouse. However, that $60,000 will only buy you five hours at the venue.

Featuring extraordinary views of Fifth Avenue and St. Patrick's Cathedral, this rooftop garden venue includes "a manicured historic garden complete with a reflective pool and fountain."

6 Odescalchi Castle - Rome, Italy

Get married like a Game of Thrones character at this 15th century castle just outside of Rome. Romantically located on the shoes of Lake Bacciano, this castle contains several venues fit for a wedding such as The Hall of the Caesars, an ancient tower, and the Secret Garden. This venue is as dreamy as it gets. Think romantic lighting, floral decor, candles, and lots of vines and flowers. Once used as a military fortification, today the castle stands as a wedding venue for rich and famous people around the world. In fact, another little fun fact: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got married at Odescalchi Castle! Ok, so now they are divorced but I really don't think it had anything to do with this romantic Italian setting. (at least I hope not). The castle can hold up to 1,000 guests so feel free to invite as many people as your heart desires (even that weird uncle you were hoping not to see again). Price depends upon the number of guests but you and your fiancee can expect to pay a minimum of $50,000.

If you haven't seen the pattern by now, it's safe to say that New York City boasts some of the most luxurious and expensive wedding venues out there. Live like Carrie Bradshaw for the day and get married in this historic literary building, the New York Public Library. With its marble interiors and impressively high ceiling, the New York Public Library is a rare gem for a wedding. It is nearly impossible to book a spot here but if you are willing to fork over the money and book in advance, your dreams could become a reality. Celebrations typically occur in Astor Hall or Celeste Bartos Forum. You can rent out both (one for drinks and another for dinner and dancing) or you can just stick to one of the two. The venue holds a maximum of 450 guests and a professional wedding planner is required to make a booking. Oh, and one last thing, the starting price to rent this venue is $50,000.
