Caribbean weddings

Getting married is the most important event in a relationship, so everyone wants it to be special. A wedding abroad is one way to make this event incredibly memorable and exciting, especially in the Caribbean. Located southeast of the Gulf of Mexico and North America, this tropical region offers many different advantages to a couple in love.

The Caribbean consists of hundreds of different islands and each has its own character. From Dominican Republic, which was the first land where Christopher Columbus set foot on America, and called it "the most beautiful land ever seen on Earth" with its golden sand beaches stretching for miles, and Antigua, nicknamed "Land of 365 Beaches" due to its abundance of beaches, to Trinidad and Tobago, the birthplace of calypso and from Saint Lucia, with its drive-in volcano. Guadeloupe, where the pineapple was discovered by Christopher Columbus, the choice of destination is enormous and easily tailored to each couple's individual needs or desires.

Nowhere else in the world offers such a profusion of cultures in one beautiful, easily accessible region. Another benefit is the climate. With so many summer weddings, a winter wedding in the Caribbean is a refreshing change and one that sun-loving guests and couples will appreciate. Apart from the hurricane season, which lasts from June to November, the Caribbean enjoys year-round sunshine. This climate results in many exotic species of plants, including bright tropical flowers and animals, such as colorful birds. Warm ocean currents also bring turtles and dolphins and there are many coral reef formations to explore.

The locations for a wedding in the Caribbean are almost endless. The newlyweds-to-be can choose to be married on a white, sandy beach with the gentle crash of the waves as music, in a luxury hotel resort, surrounded by tropical foliage but with all the comforts of home, on a boat in the clear, azure Caribbean Sea, or even underneath it! Underwater weddings are becoming more and more popular for more adventurous couples. It is also possible to be married in seclusion on a luxury private island. Whatever a couple desire can be accommodated.

Many resorts in the Caribbean are skilled in planning the perfect wedding, which can be very reassuring. It takes the stress and worry out of planning a wedding and allows the bride and groom to enjoy their important day together in tropical bliss. Resorts can provide everything, from the all important marriage license, to a professional photographer, who will capture their memories forever.

Another benefit of a Caribbean wedding is that it is possible to combine the wedding and the honeymoon, which is not only cheaper but also less stressful, as the happy couple do not have to worry themselves over flights or packing more than once and they can simply enjoy their newlywed status together, in one of the most beautiful places on the globe.

A Caribbean wedding is the perfect for a wide range of people: those who want tropical luxury or those who prefer more adventure. Wedding stress is no longer a problem thanks to many experienced resorts: all that is required is that the couple books their flights and jet off to their perfect wedding, that they will remember forever.
