All-inclusive weddings can take place on the beach.
For many couples, the stress and chaos that sometimes accompanies months of wedding plans becomes enough to dampen the spirit of bliss. For this reason, all-inclusive destination weddings, held at
resorts, hold attraction.
resort employees handle all of the wedding planning and preparation details, leaving the couple to enjoy every minute leading to the long-awaited day. Each resort has specific requirements for the weddings performed on their properties.
The Bahamas
Sandals Resorts offers breathtaking settings for couples wishing to wed in the Bahamas. The cost of these destination weddings--at a fraction of the price of traditional celebrations--typically includes the minister, wedding photographs, flowers, a lovely reception complete with wine and wedding cake and "just married" memorabilia. Imagine a beautiful sunset wedding, with the best part--the honeymoon begins immediately after you say your vows.
