The island has no shortage of stunning sandy white beaches and captivating blue waters – there’s no better backdrop for those wedding photos! From secluded coves to soaring seaside cliffs, there is a beach to suit every wedding style. A wedding planner can take care of all the details, like setting up a beautiful fabric-draped canopy, assembling a tropical flower bouquet, and even arranging the food and music – steel pan drums anyone?

A more formal affair

Many of the resorts on the island offer wedding services, with venues ranging from hotel restaurants to beachfront pagodas. Best of all, if you have a large group of friends and family coming along to help you celebrate, staying at a hotel will make coordinating events a lot easier.

Hotels can take care of the details, like planning reception menus, floral arrangements, wedding cakes, hair appointments, and photographers so you can sit back and enjoy your day. Sint Maarten offers a range of hotel options, from large and luxurious resorts to intimate boutique hotels.

Back to Nature

On the French side of the island, St Martin’s very own nature preserve, Loterie Farm, is a unique and special destination. Located on 135 acres, Loterie Farm is reminiscent of a verdant rainforest and offers everything from outdoor adventures, like ziplining and hiking, to swimming in the elegant pool and dining in the open-air restaurant. If you prefer a setting with a lot more greenery and a real tropical vibe, this is an ideal choice. It will feel as though you are getting married in a picture-perfect secret hideaway.

Off the Beaten Path

Consider something a little different to celebrate your big day. Find out about renting a private villa where you can tie the knot surrounded by friends and loved ones while enjoying a professionally catered feast. There are many private villas on both the French side and the Dutch side of the island, with venues and décor to suit any mood. Want to extend the party? Rent the villa for a few more days and enjoy your honeymoon in paradise.

Don’t Forget to Sail Off into the Sunset

Trying to think of the perfect venue for a post-wedding celebration? What better way to spend a day in paradise than sailing the blue Caribbean waters aboard a catamaran. Charter a boat, inquire about packing a picnic, and toast your nuptials with some bubbly, or even better, a rum punch, while you commend yourselves on your brilliant idea to get married in Sint Maarten.
