with destination
wedding couples to
the Caribbean for
the past 10 years.
All of our

Antigua is home to
gorgeous beaches one
for each day of the
week, historic forts
and buildings.
The
waterfront area of
this island’s
charming capital,
St. John, offers
dining and shopping
in tropical collored
buildings.
What you will not
find on this island
is many sprawling
resorts, as most of
the hotels are
intimate inns and
villas, perfect for
your private
destination wedding
or a wonderfully
romantic honeymoon
retreat. Antigua’s
laid-back atmosphere
and hundreds of
spectacular beaches
will create the
perfect ambiance for
your wedding in
paradise

have been previously
married, then bring
along the original
divorce decree. A
widow(er) must bring
both the original
marriage and death
certificates. These
documents must have
the raised seal from
the court, because
photocopies are not
acceptable.
Fees:
The fees are
normally handle

after 3 pm will not
permit couples to
get to the Ministry
of Justice in time
to apply for the
Special Marriage
License. In such
cases, the couple
can arrange for the
marriage to take
place either the
next day after
completing the
application process,
or, on any available
day thereafter

must also be
solemnized or
celebrated in the
presence of two or
more witnesses,
apart from the
Marriage Officer.
(Just ask a guest or
two to do this for
you).
T
here
is no waiting period
for Antigua weddings.
Resorts
We use both all
inclusive,
traditional resorts
and private villas
throughout the
island. All
the signs pointed
towards Antigua.
TheÊ island had
warm, steady winds,
a complex coastline
of safe harbors, and
a protective, nearly
unbroken wall of
coral reef. It would
make a perfect place
to hide a fleet. And
so in 1784 the
legendary Admiral
Horatio Nelson
sailed to Antigua
and established
Great Britain's most
important Caribbean
base. Little did he
know that over 200
years later the same
unique
characteristics that
attracted the Royal
Navy would transform
Antigua and Barbuda
in one of the
Caribbean's premier
tourist
destinations.
Here is a few

resorts that we work
with.

that every couple is
unique, so we work

islands offer you
the most unique
spots for your
wedding. There
are white sand
beaches with
turquoise waters,

planning. We
