Get married in paradise on a Caribbean holiday   by Dipika Patel

Ever dreamed about marrying your partner in a beautiful, exotic location filled with sun, sea, sand and scenery?

It may well be easier than you think to fulfil this vision thanks to the fact that there are now numerous competitively priced wedding holiday packages designed to do just that.

These combine the wedding ceremony with a honeymoon and can work out to be much cheaper than a standard affair back in the UK – especially in the Caribbean, which is a dream destination for holidaymakers and soon-to-be-married couples alike.

Hotels offering such packages include several in Antigua, Nassau, Barbados, Grenada, St Lucia, Trinidad, Tobago and Jamaica – all of which are particularly popular destinations for travellers seeking luxury breaks abroad.

As well as having the benefit of beautiful beaches and sparkling blue seas to set the scene for your big day, you can take advantage of packages priced from as little as £3,000 – and don’t forget that this is inclusive of your honeymoon.

This is compared with costs running into tens of thousands of pounds if you were to get married in the rainy UK. And hotels in the Caribbean may also offer additional discounts and perks for couples getting wed on their premises.

You can choose whether you want a simple ceremony with just a few guests and frills or a full-on luxurious affair packed with glamour for the ultimate wedding.

If you’re really looking to cut costs when it comes to your big day, you might want to consider the wedding holiday packages on offer at Sandals, a major Caribbean resort.

Here you can benefit from free ceremonies organised by Martha Stewart Weddings if you choose to sleep in one of Sandals’s Concierge or Butler suites during your stay in the Caribbean.

Of course, you don’t have to get married in the Caribbean if you don’t want to – other locations that could offer equally picturesque ceremonies and photos include the Seychelles, Mauritius and Sri Lanka, all of which boast great coastal scenery and a variety of attractions and activities for your honeymoon, as well as fantastic climates.
