•Is the wedding a legal marriage, recognized in our state our country?

Yes, the marriage is a legal binding marriage, and once you have received your marriage certificate, you can register at your local courthouse (or take whatever steps are necessary to register the marriage in your home state.)

•Can we get married on the beach in the sand?

Of course! We offer several locations at each resort, and the beach is always an option. The Wedding Coordinator at the resort will give you a tour of the possible locations and help you pick the perfect one.

•What are the wedding sites on property?

Most of our properties offer a beach, a garden and a gazebo location. The locations is the couple's choice. It can be as private or public as they wish.

•Why did we receive a bill for the wedding if the wedding is included?

If you are staying 7 nights or longer in a qualifying room category, the basic wedding package is included. The invoice goes out automatically when the wedding is booked to confirm date and time. The rate will be adjusted 30 days prior to wedding date once the room category and length of stay is confirmed.

•What is the best way to travel with a wedding dress?

Any arrangement for transportation of a wedding dress should be discussed directly with your airline carrier.

•Does the resort offer a steaming or pressing service for the wedding dress?

There are off property services that will handle the steaming of the dress. Prices are determined on the size, detail, and material of the dress.

•When do we meet the wedding coordinator?

Upon arrival, clients will receive a letter from the wedding coordinator in their room or front desk with an appointment time and date to meet with the coordinator.

•What kind of flowers are in the bouquet?

Flower bouquets are chosen on property. The couple is shown pictures of available flower combinations. Tropical bouquets vary per island and time of the year.

•Can I mail the government fee?

All fees can be mailed as long as the wedding confirmation number is placed with payment. Keep in mind that the fee must be received 7 days from the date you booked the wedding to avoid booking cancellation. Government fees are not included: US$200 for weddings in Jamaica, US$400 for weddings in Antigua, US$500 for weddings in the Bahamas or St. Lucia. This fee is waived when you stay 6 nights or longer in a Concierge level suite or higher.

•Why are specific occupations required for the bride and groom?

Specific occupations are required in order to process the marriage license as they will be stated on your marriage certificate.

•Do we need to hand carry documents to the resort?

Original documents are required to be hand carried when going to any of our resorts (except our resorts in Jamaica.)
