Weddings

For many people getting married abroad is becoming an increasingly appealing option and nowhere is better equipped for a tropical wedding than the Caribbean. Clear blue sky, gentle waves and golden sand make for an unrivalled romantic option that simply can not be catered for in the United Kingdom.

Overseas weddings are also exceptional value when you look at the spiralling costs of a wedding at home and with the added bonus of a honeymoon thrown in they really are superb value for money. The wedding packages themselves can start from as little as £299 and as this is such a popular option most companies can cater for all of your needs. Many people are concerned that this is a cheaper alternative and as such you will not get the same assistance as you would at home but this is not the case, a wedding planner will arrange all the little details for you right down to flowers, music and even the transportation of you wedding dress. Not every wedding is the same and your wedding team will cater your requirements around you, whether this is some steel drums playing or you wanting to do the whole thing on the beach it can usually be arranged.

Thomson, MyTravel and Thomas Cook all offer another option that will help you pay for your big day, rather that asking for wedding presents from family and friends that you probably do not need why not ask them for a contribution towards the cost of your wedding/honeymoon, they can simply buy vouchers from the relevant company you have booked with instead making this option even more affordable. The average cost of a wedding in the United Kingdom in 2007 was estimated at over £12000 and this excludes the honeymoon cost and in many cases can be considerably more.

Getting married in the Caribbean is much better value alternative and with a wedding cost of say £600 plus a per person holiday price of £1200 means you an 8 guests can travel and experience the wedding of a lifetime in paradise and total luxury.

Your wedding team will arrange all the fine detail for you and this includes and local legal requirements so they will contact you for the information that they require taking the strain and stress away that is often associated with getting marries at home. Kuoni are another excellent company with the highest of reputations and although they are slightly more expensive than the other companies mentioned they can tailor make your trip to suit you so if you want to visit more than one place or extend your stay then they can assist with these requirements. Kuoni also offer weddings in more destinations such as the smaller Caribbean islands.
