The Pristine beaches, snorkeling and diving, deserted cays, sparkling turquoise waters, refreshing breezes, starlit nights, excellent hotels & amenities and the happy friendly people of the Turks and Caicos Islands make up the perfect destination for marriages and honeymooners.

Weddings here are celebrations, church bells ringing and champagne on ice, decorated vehicles honking horns, music and dancing amongst happy faces and greetings from everyone. Weddings are also small and intimate, in a garden or tropical foliage where singing is done by the variety of birds, or in sail boat on our tranquil turquoise waters along the shores with a view of the beaches and rolling hills and the breakers on the barrier reef. The Turks and Caicos Islands offer to you our visitors this unique experience.
Some of the most exclusive hotels in the Caribbean can be found here, including the Sandals/Beaches chain of hotels.  This hotel offers a variety of options and is one of my favorite places to stay.  While it is a family hotel, it is great for weddings & honeymoons as children do have their own restaurants and swimming pool with activities, giving the adults time to participate in adult activities.
