That is a great site, thanks! I'm waist-deep in beach wedding research right now too, trying to find the best of the best. My wedding isn't until May though, so I've got some time. Another tip I can give is using http://www.gatheringguide.com/ec/event_planners.html to get a really comprehensive list of wedding planners. We're on a tight budget and managed to find a planner to get us our dream beach wedding! Good luck to all of you! - Jane

Beach Wedding on Private Beach in St. Thomas

Postby susie2000 on Sat Sep 20, 2008 3:40 pm

My best girlfriend got married in May 2008 and I had offered to do the preliminary travel research to help find a romantic wedding and honeymoon location . She wanted to have a beach wedding and honeymoon in the Caribbean and she finally (after weeks of my research) decided on renting a private luxury villa called Sand Dollar Estate in St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Sand Dollar is the only private villa rental in St. Thomas that has its own private beach. The villa arranged everything including the reception at the villa and the wedding party accommodation (the villa was huge and 20 people stayed there in much nicer settings than any hotel). I was one of the lucky guests staying at the villa for the wedding and reception and it turned out to be the most fabulous setting ever.

My girlfriend and her new husband, stayed in the villa's honeymoon cottage which was a separate adorable building close to the villa's private sandy beach. I've seen so many weddings at resorts like sandals, etc. where it just seemed so public and unromantic because of other vacationers in the bathing suits or shorts etc. strolling by during the ceremony and wedding party photos. My friend's wedding took place on the villa's private white sand beach and there were no "uninvited" guests or spectators.

Here's a link to their info on weddings and receptions at the villa: http://www.sanddollarestate.com/caribbean-wedding-locations.asp

A beach wedding is one of the most impressive and romantic experiences you can make. I was invited to a wedding on a Carribean beach a few years ago and it was so beautiful, a fantastic dream wedding. If I am going to get married I would really want to marry on the beach, it's something you will never forget in your life.

How to Plan an Affordable Beach Wedding......

Postby Heidi Benson on Mon Aug 17, 2009 6:32 am

Hi All,
How are you all? Today, many busy couples find that they are rushed for time and short on cash when comes to planning and financing their wedding. Beach weddings offer a sensible yet elegant solution to the expense and headache normally associated with a traditional wedding. Typically, a beach wedding is easier to plan, cheaper to pay for and a whole lot more fun - for everyone - including the guests! There are some 'special issues' though that must be considered when planning a beach wedding.


Steps

1. Choose your location wisely. Beaches are usually breezy. Try to pick a cove or area protected from direct winds for your ceremony. Be mindful of the tides.
2. Decide how many guests will be attending. Most beaches do not require a special permit for small informal weddings. Check with local authorities to be sure.
3. Find a wedding officiate local to the beach of your choice to perform your wedding ceremony. Often they specialize in beach weddings and can provide useful tips as well as very affordable package deals. Wedding packages are becoming very popular and are ideal for busy couples. Often they include everything you need from the bouquet to the photography to the filing of your marriage license.
4. Minimize your reception expenses by planning a sunset ceremony followed by a simple but elegant wine and cheese reception right on the beach.
5. Rent an outdoor canopy to protect your reception area from rain showers and uninvited seagulls. For a tropical flare, decorate the canopy with tulle and twinkling mini-lights and silk flowers. Use hurricane candles for lighting.
6. Remember your guest's comfort and safety. Provide seating for the elderly as well as sunscreen and insect repellent just in case. If some of your guests have mobility impairments recognize that it's nearly impossible to push a wheelchair in the sand, and it's very hard for people who have difficulty walking to negotiate sand as well. Many beaches have walkways or platforms. Use these accordingly.
7. Thank your guests for sharing your day by presenting them with beach wedding favors such as personalized sand-dollars, seashell candles or Hawaiian Silk Leis.


Tips

* Remember, depending on the time of year, the beach can be very hot, even in early evening. Choose your wedding dress accordingly.
* A casual hair style works best for beach weddings. If the day is breezy, your hair will look beautifully natural and 'tousled' as opposed to looking 'messed up'.
* For a larger, more formal beach wedding with many guests, you may want to choose a nearby ocean front hotel or restaurant with an outdoor deck to cater the reception following your beach side ceremony.


Warnings

* Although there are many wedding companies that offer all-inclusive beach wedding packages, do not wait until last minute to try to book one! True, these packages eliminate much of the time and planning normally required of a wedding, but they are also very popular. If you cut it too close, you may be disappointed to find the day of your choice already booked. Give yourself no less than six months and more if possible to book your wedding package.
* In addition to considering the heat, keep in mind that some areas are prone to hurricanes or just nasty storms at certain times of the year. Plan accordingly.


Best Regards.... :)

I know this is a very broad question but what sort of price bracket do beach weddings start at? I'm just weighing up the whole 'do i stay in the UK with 200 weddings guests or get married on the beach with 10 people' scenario.

Any hints tips or advice would be appreciated.
travel insurance for every kind of holiday.

When I was at Sandals in St. Lucia I saw a lot of weddings and all were beautiful. We had an excellent stay and the service was incredible. I would definitely look into Sandals for destination weddings. They currently have a promotion going on where you can save up to 65% off. I found it on Best Travel Deals- http://besttraveldeals.net/deal/185-sav ... ls-resorts

By 2014, I'm going to get married with my boyfriend. It is great that both of us share the same idea of having a beach wedding. We are planning to have it in Laiya, Batangas, Philippines, one of the finest beach of our country. By the way, I just want to have a Katy Perry-inspired wedding dress, sexy and vintage. :) Have a great day ahead! :D

After patient data collection on all possible locations, I (we, that is) have decided that Cancun would be the best place in the Caribbean to get married. Anyone have on experience there. Love to hear some stories.
Should you trust a stockbroker who's married to a travel agent?
Do you want to know what's happening at home when you're not there? Try a dvr surveillance system.
