Vow renewals have been growing in popularity and are a perfect opportunity for couples to get the destination wedding they always dreamed of, but maybe missed out on their first time down the aisle. According to WeddingChannel.com, about 10% of brides and grooms are actually saying “I do” for the second time. One resort in Antigua, West Indies has designed a wedding package which perfectly accommodates vow renewals.

Curtain Bluff Resort in Antigua has had a major increase in couples getting married again with their families in tow. Because of this, Curtain Bluff introduced their “Encore Wedding” package. When renewing their vows, the couple often brings along children and even grandchildren so they can share in the special day. Thus the “Encore Wedding” package is designed for families traveling together.
The “Encore Weddings” package at Curtain Bluff is available for $895 and includes:
• Wedding officer’s fees
• A private rehearsal dinner on the beach for the wedding party and their family
• A complimentary couples massage for the bride and groom at the Spa at Curtain Bluff
• A cocktail reception following the ceremony
• Wedding cake
• Round-trip airport transportation for the couple and up to two guests
• Marriage license fees

Room rates start at $715 per night and include all gourmet meals, top-shelf drinks and activities such as Scuba diving, snorkeling and deep sea fishing. Curtain Bluff Resort is located on 20 acres on the south coast of Antigua and all 72 rooms overlook the water. To accommodate destination weddings, the resort offers group discounts when you book five rooms or more and also offers adjoining rooms and suites.
If you’re saying “I do” for the first time, Curtain Bluff Resort can definitely accommodate your destination wedding. Just know that if a vow renewal ceremony is in your future, Curtain Bluff Resort may be just the place!
