Weddings



Known by the Caribs as Hairouna (“Land of the Blessed”) St Vincent & the Grenadines, comprises 32 beautiful islands and cays located in the Eastern Caribbean like a necklace with spectacular landscapes, beautiful beaches and turquoise blue waters, welcomes you to one of the most unspoilt idyllic locations in the Caribbean for weddings and honeymoons.

 

The islands have retained their age-old, castaway ambience of unspoiled beauty where couples can relax in barefoot tranquility in a veritable Garden of Eden.

 

Indeed St Vincent & the Grenadines provides all the staples of a memorable wedding: something old (the rich history of the islands goes back several millennia), something new (a small group of professional Wedding Planners), something borrowed  (a number of appealing resorts sprinkled amidst the island nation’s old south pacific “Bali Hai” ambience vibe) and something blue (the stunning azure sea).

 

From eco-resorts to old forts, classically elegant resorts on private island escapes, St Vincent & the Grenadines is the best place to escape the stresses of traditional wedding planning.
