- Establish Your Wedding Requirements
Caribbean destination weddings can be large, vibrant, and glamorous celebrations, more intimate boutique affairs or anything in between. Your wedding requirements will determine your choice of venue. There are many important things to consider:
- Your initial step involves clarifying your vision and defining the scale of the ceremony. How many guests do you anticipate?
- Do you have specific ideas for your celebration? These may include decorations and lighting, preferred ambiance and spaces for your vows. Does your heart wish for a sunset ceremony or a luxurious ballroom?
- Meals should be an indulgence, a culinary joy for you and your guests. Do you have specific requirements for cuisine? Resorts offer a variety of gourmet options to delight you and your guests.
- Choosing an Accessible Caribbean Venue
Perhaps you envision a Caribbean destination wedding that is more remote and secluded, offering a unique style and astonishing scenery. You have seen the pictures, and they take your breath away.
Feel free to select that hidden oasis or private retreat, but consideration of how your guests will travel to and from the resort is essential. Experts advise you to consider proximity to the airport and available travel when choosing from resorts.

- Assess Wedding Packages for Services & Amenities
Most resorts offer a variety of packages to help you organize your Caribbean destination weddings.

An essential step is determining the number of guests you expect. A resort that offers a variety of accommodations with differing views and levels of luxury will ensure your guests have the experience you wish for them.
