Unless you are not going out of the country or have enough time between the wedding and the honeymoon to change your name on your passport, do not book your honeymoon under your married name.  You will need your completed marriage license which you get after the wedding.  Not until then can you apply to change your name on your passport which takes 2-6 weeks depending on the service (expedited or regular) you choose.

Traditionally, couples leave for their honeymoon right after the wedding or the morning after.  But think twice before you book that honeymoon.  Partying for 4 to 5 hours will leave you exhausted, especially at night.  You’ll be too tired after the wedding, don’t overtax yourself by taking a trip right after.  Give yourself a day or two to recuperate.
