Love and Marriage Barbados Style

I'm just back from a visit to Barbados exploring the romantic side of the island. I've been looking at the perfect places for marriage proposals, weddings and honeymoons. If you travel out as a big group, there are also lots of ideas for a mini stag/hen event.

For wedding venues, you can say 'I do' on a sandy beach with palms swaying, have a full catholic mass, relax in the privacy of a luxury villa or take over a Jacobean mansion. I really loved the Jacobean mansion, St Nicolas Abbey. It's located inland, but has views all the way down to the ocean from the old windmill. The lush gardens will help the groom keep his cool, and the charming owner, Simon, is likely to be on hand with a tot of his own rum to calm any last minute nerves!

Choosing a wedding venue to suit a large family group can be a challenge, but I chatted to managers and wedding planners at many properties offering a huge range of rooms, suites and villas. You can also book a variety of board basis, from self catering apartments in the rugged east coast, to all inclusive fabulousness on the west coast.

You don't need to stay at the venue you choose for the actual ceremony, with many penthouse suites being available for 12-24hrs. Properties can provide caterers, chefs, bar staff and even your own mixologist!

The options are vast, so the best thing to do is get in touch for a chat, and we can start planning your wedding in paradise.
