Grenada Weddings

Trips Down The Aisle - Weddings on the go! has been working with destination wedding couples to the Caribbean for the past 10 years.  All of our consultants are Certified Destination Wedding Specialists by the Destination Wedding Association  plus the various island's Tourism Boards and member of the Caribbean Tourism Organization.  We value our expert knowledge to the Caribbean.

Grenada is a rolling, mountainous island, covered with fragrant spice trees and rare tropical flowers. Bordered by stunning beaches, and dotted with picturesque towns, this verdant island has long been a major source of nutmeg, cloves, ginger, cinnamon, and cocoa. The seductive   drifts through the colourful Saturday markets and Grenada's dense forests. In the interior of this volcanic island are cascading rivers and waterfalls, lush rainforests, and one of the most breathtakingly beautiful mountain lakes imaginable. The capital, St. George's, is widely held to be the loveliest city in the Caribbean. Its horseshoe-shaped harbour is surrounded by a pastel rainbow of dockside warehouses and the red-tiled roofs of traditional shops and homes.

Grenada's physical beauty is complemented by its rich history and vibrant, living cultural heritage. Local festivals, fairs, and markets remain an integral part of life on Grenada. Its centuries-old spice plantations and rum distilleries still use traditional methods, emphasizing quality rather than quantity. Although the tourist industry has become more substantial in recent years, the island's easy rhythms and the friendly openness of its residents evoke an atmosphere that has long since vanished elsewhere.



Wedding Requirements

Documents:

You both will need valid passports as proof of citizenship. Make certain your passport has not expired and is valid for at least six months after your arrival date in Antigua.  We suggest an original copy of your birth certificate (with a raised seal) in addition to your valid passport..

If either of you 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.

Proof of Single Status: an affadavit, or a letter from a clergyman, lawyer, or Registry on official letterhead attesting to the fact that the parties involved have not been married previously.

Couples must be resident in Grenada for 3 working days in advance of their wedding.

Application for a Marriage Licence should be made in person at the Prime Minister's Office after the necessary stamp duty and licence fees have been paid at the Treasury office. This process takes approximately two days (and slightly longer if either partner is divorced, as documents must then be sent to The Ministry of Legal Affairs).

Fees:

The fees are normally handle through the resorts that we work with however if you are looking for a private villa wedding then you must apply in person. 

Marriage Licence: EC$10 - Stamp: EC$15
Registration Search: EC$2 - Stamp: EC$5

Your marriage 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).


Resorts

For many visitors, of course, the measure of any island is taken by its beaches and coral reefs, and Grenada offers plenty of both. The island is ringed with miles of picture-perfect strands, including both entrancing black and sugar-fine white sand beaches. Grand Anse Beach, a smooth expanse stretching for two miles around the curve of a gentle bay, is world famous. Grenada has plenty to offer those interested in offshore pleasure as well, with easily accessible and pristine reefs off the coast of both Grenada and its sister island, Carriacou. 

Our consultants know that every couple is unique, so we work with the various resorts and venues to personalize you day.  The lush tropical Caribbean islands offer you the most unique spots for your wedding.  There are white sand beaches with turquoise waters, waterfalls, tropical gardens, mountainous backdrops and spectacular sunsets dipping into the Caribbean Sea.

The services that we offer here and at all the destinations that we work with extend beyond just travel and wedding planning.  We offer activities outside resorts like golfing, scuba and/or tours, want a limo, a spa treatment, restaurant outside of the resort for a special dinner, or private yacht we can arrange to your personal tastes! 

Our Certified Destination Wedding Specialists are well versed in various religions and traditional ceremonies.  Over the years we have created weddings for Catholic, to Hindu, to Moslem and Jewish bridal couples.  And was able to create traditions like jumping the broom.  Whatever your wishes are just ask us!

Throughout the Caribbean islands our Certified Destination Wedding Specialists work with a trusted network of professionals, resorts chains (2 or more resorts with the same name)who are very proficient in the way they work with destination wedding couples.  These resorts are ones we trust with our clients.  Lets face it anyone and/or resort can put up a wedding site, but it is the years of experience that creates a great wedding!
