Dreamy Caribbean Destination Wedding

By Eric Hassler | November 9, 2021

Congratulations on your engagement! As you start planning the ceremony to celebrate your love, you could feel overwhelmed by the endless details, ideas, and options ahead of you. For couples who want a relaxing destination wedding done their way, come to Coconut Bay. We don’t believe in cookie-cutter weddings. Every ceremony and reception is different, you just have to tell us what you envision. Here is how we can make your vows memorable for everyone who attends.

CHOOSE ALL OF THE THEMING AND DETAILS

Some brides and grooms worry that a destination wedding means working with whatever the venue has in stock. They worry that they can’t have a unique theme or colors that match their dreams. With Coconut Bay, you can have whatever colors, themes, flowers, and decor that you want. We will work to execute them for you. Plus, you don’t ever have to worry about being rushed or the next wedding. We only do one big wedding per day so our brides can have our undivided attention in addition to HER DAY, HER WAY!

WORK WITH DEDICATED WEDDING PLANNERS

You don’t have to be a wedding expert to have a dream wedding – that’s what wedding planners are for! Tap into our experts and share your ideas, then send us on our way to iron out all of the details. We know what is needed to make a beautiful wedding, down to the details like the photography, lighting, and flowers. Let us help you work through a checklist to make sure each part of your wedding runs as planned and is executed beautifully.

CREATE A ROMANTIC BACKDROP

There’s a reason why Saint Lucia was named the World’s Leading Honeymoon Destination in 2018. Our island has stunning views, bright white beaches, and breathtaking waterfalls. Let us help you set the mood in one of the most romantic spots in the world.

Exchange vows at our oceanfront wedding gazebo and take photographs on Eternity beach. You can also request private tours for you and your significant other or the bridal party to enjoy together. Take your guests with you or enjoy on your own a private catamaran sunset cruise or a private island tour. Either way the moments and the memories will be special.

We are so excited to help you plan your wedding and celebrate the big day with you. The team at Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa will do whatever we can to make your vows and reception magical and help you create memories that will last a lifetime.

Imagine it’s your wedding day, your sister recor Imagine it’s your wedding day, your sister records your vows with trembling hands, your college friend catches the first dip in slo-mo, your aunt snaps the quiet squeeze before you walk down the aisle, and the flower girl films the dance-floor chaos from knee-height. Normally, those memories vanish into ten different group chats and camera rolls. 

Luckily, Chivent can solve this issue! How? By pooling all the images from the welcome party to farewell brunch into one beautiful, easy-to-access gallery. Guests can upload photos, videos, and photo notes with a single link or QR code (no app needed). It’s the behind-the-scenes you didn’t see, organized and ready to relive!

🚨 Is your venue’s “event planner” actuall 🚨 Is your venue’s “event planner” actually looking out for you? 🤔

In this must-hear clip from our latest podcast episode, @tarynstarkwyant reveals a crucial truth: a venue’s in-house event coordinator has a different agenda than you might think.

“An event manager hired by a venue, their priorities lie with that venue.” 🤯

As a former venue planner (turned independent planner extraordinaire), Taryn told us her job often involved hitting sales targets, which can mean upselling the couple on services and products that aren’t necessarily in their best interest or budget.

So, how do you protect your vision and your wallet? Taryn explains why a dedicated, independent wedding planner is your ultimate advocate on this episode of Destination I Do, The Podcast!

Stop everything! We’re sharing expert insights o Stop everything! We’re sharing expert insights on the hottest destination wedding trends expected in 2026. 🔥

Spoiler: It’s all about intentionality, deep connection, and making your wedding feel like a custom-designed retreat.

Here are the biggest shifts coming:

✨ The Vibe: Trading the 12-hour marathon for a multi-day, multi-event schedule that builds in rest and relaxation, not just celebration.

🏰 The Venue: Couples are opting for FULL PROPERTY BUYOUTS—taking over boutique hotels and private villas to create their own exclusive world (like Adult Summer Camp, but make it chic).

🌿 The Design: We’re saying goodbye to straight lines and no themes and hello to the romance of ground-level floral installations and pop culture reception themes! 

❤️ The Focus: The ultimate priority is the thoughtful guest experience. Handwritten notes, bespoke gifting, and intentional, multi-day itineraries are now essential elements, ensuring every guest feels central to the celebration.

What No One Tells You About Wedding Planning in So What No One Tells You About Wedding Planning in Southern Italy… 

Plan Amalfi ceremonies earlier as the cliffs steal the light fast.

Shoot Alberobello portraits at sunrise to avoid tourists.

Southern Italy weddings run slow. Build out a relaxed timeline for the day. 

Expect wind, heat, or sudden storms. Have shade and a backup plan! 

Best months to plan your wedding for May–June & Sept–Oct for light and fewer crowds.

Multi-day destination weddings are the new “I do” — because when your guests travel across oceans, you want to make it worth the trip. 🌎

Think: welcome parties, group adventures, beachside brunches, and endless moments that actually let you connect. 💛

It’s not just a wedding anymore — it’s a mini-vacation with everyone you love.
