You have found that perfect partner, now here's the perfect place to have your perfect wedding. Many couples choose a British Virgin Islands wedding, possibly because it is so easy to get married here. A marriage license is simple to arrange and the marriage certificate is valid in the United States.

The Caribbean setting couldn't be more romantic. We set no limits for that blessed journey. That's why, in Nature's Little Secrets, you find the perfect spot to have the most memorable wedding anywhere imaginable. The ceremony can take place on a soft beach in the quiet of sunrise, or aboard or at sea with a yacht, underneath the spectacular ocean's reef for an underwater adventure, on a secluded island, in our lush tropical botanical garden, a friend's lawn, your favorite restaurant's poolside or gazebo, the traditional church, the local registrar's office or the great outdoors of a mountain top.

Some couples invite family and friends to share this blessed moment, but others choose our local people to serve as witnesses. After all, in the three days it takes to qualify for a marriage license, a BVIslander can become a lifelong friend.
The British Virgin Islands is truly a destination that offers Romance with a breathtaking vista of the ocean from almost every corner.  As with all Islands that have the ‘British’ influence, an air of formality is evident in dressing for dinner or shopping in town.

THINGS TO DO

Known internationally as a sailor’s paradise, the British Virgin Islands offers some of the most breathtaking sailings and water sports one can ever encounter.  You will see more private yachts than you can ever count and every April is the famous Spring Regatta & Sailing Festival, attracting over 135 yachts.  Since these islands are really in an unspoiled setting, there is much to explore.

CUISINE

The dining experience is fabulous.  From the small local restaurant to the international gourmet experience, you will delight in the freshness of the ingredients and the subtle seasonings that make this an unforgettable gastronomic experience.  I had the good fortune to stay at a mid price hotel and enjoyed an unforgettable view with some of the best local food I have ever had.  All this was prepared by students who are training to become chefs.
