There are countless venues from which to choose sandy white beaches, a hilltop at sunset, sailing around a picturesque harbor, a lush tropical garden surrounded by colorful blooms, a charming island church, or even a deserted island the choice is all yours.

Isolated beaches, romantic moonlit evenings, swimming, snorkeling, scuba diving, kayaking, walks, hikes, island explorations, and island nightlife are but a handful of the possibilities available when you choose a destination wedding in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Abounding in natural beauty, steeped in history and rich in cultural heritage, St. Vincent is still relatively untouched by mass tourism and remains a wonderful place to get away from it all and soak up some true Caribbean culture.

Secrets of a hidden Caribbean island

Island is a romantic word in any language. Almost everyone has dreamed of getting off to an island hideaway. But most of us never do it, and with good reason. Genuine hideaways, with all the advantages of remoteness, usually also have all the disadvantages of remoteness: they are hard to reach and they lack the services and amenities necessary for sustained tranquility. And non-genuine hideaways with jet airports, planned activities and urban night life tend to reproduce the very frenzy you're trying to escape.

Petit St. Vincent is different; this small privately owned island is the resort. Nothing else is here. Almost totally surrounded by white sand beaches, the island abounds with natural beauty and offers the serenity in which to enjoy it. They provide personal, attentive service and good food and drink the comforts of civility without the discomforts of urban civilization.

Over its varied terrain 22 private cottages are scattered some on hillsides, some set into the sides of cliffs, some right on the beach. All locations offer spectacular views, privacy, and proximity to beaches and facilities. The cottages are spacious and open with terracotta floors and peaked ceilings made from Purple Heart hardwood. Each has a living room, a bedroom; flower gardens surround a wooden sundeck with a hammock perfect the lounging, floor to ceiling glass doors slide open, bringing the outside inside.

Is Petit St. Vincent for everyone? No. But it's for more people than you might think. Their guests are not loners; Just people who like themselves and each other, and the beauty of nature unspoiled but accessible. That is probably why they like them so much! This is just as well, because they keep coming back and you will too. Petit St. Vincent is a private island for private people.

Get married in French Polynesia: make your dreams come true!

Say “I do” in paradise what could be more unique and romantic? Make your dreams come true with a legal or traditional wedding ceremony on their islands.

French Polynesia has been conducting legal weddings for overseas visitors since 2010. Couples love the majestic Papeete City Hall, a replica of the former Queen’s palace, the perfect setting for your legal marriage. After the civil union, experience the ultimate traditional and colorful wedding during your stay in Moorea or Bora Bora. A Tahitian priest will bless your union to the sound of traditional instruments and songs while the dancers’ colorful costumes bring the Maohi rhythms to life. They have selected for you various services with idyllic settings:

In Moorea, the islet Maiau Beach Garden invites you to Nature:
The elegance of Polynesian culture, feel the beating heart of Polynesia in this hidden paradise and seal your union in a natural setting. Each service is a privileged moment of new experiences and well-being: a private outrigger canoe trip to explore the treasures of the lagoon of Moorea in the morning, a full-day with a refined and tasty seafood lunch (lobster, coconut crab etc.) or a sunset for an explosion of heavenly colors announcing the arrival of a beautifully romantic evening.

Still in Moorea, Fenua Mata’i’oa, a world apart:
Sophistication, intimacy, tradition, travel, art, exotic, flowers, this little gem is impossible to describe in just a few words. Are you in one of the Old World explorers’ shelters? Or in one of a royal court Lady’s apartments; It’s hard to tell.so just immerse yourself in the Mana spirit of the setting. One thing is for sure: you will not forget a place like this! The daytime wedding ceremony can be combined with a night in a Suite with dinner and breakfast. We recommend you book the latter, as once you get here; you do not want to leave!

Bora Bora the Magnificent:
Specialists in traditional weddings on the island, Maohi Nui has been providing traditional Polynesian services since 2001. From the simplest to the most elaborate ceremony, you can choose between a celebration on board a traditional outrigger canoe on the beautiful blue lagoon or on a beautiful islet of fine sand with the magical silhouette of Mont Otemanu in the background.

Last but not least, Tupai, the heart of Polynesia:
To an exceptional wedding, an exceptional day, from your hotel in Bora Bora or Tahaa, hop on board a helicopter and seal your union in a unique place, free of artifice, with a purity of colors that only Mother Nature can offer: Tupai, one of 5 heart-shaped atolls in the world. Red carpet as you descend from the helicopter, exchange your vows in complete privacy on a beach of fine sand with just the turquoise lagoon and the shade of the coconut palms as witnesses.
