Grenada’s lush rainforest, beautiful beaches and shimmering waters make a perfect backdrop for a Caribbean destination wedding or a quiet ceremony among close friends and family…or just the couple themselves.
A beach wedding is always a popular choice, of course, and a toes-in-the-sand ceremony with cocktail hour and reception can be arranged.
The beautiful beaches offer timeless settings for a photo shoot: Think of couples leaning against the curved trunks of palm trees on La Sagesse Beach, or the stunning juxtaposition of a white wedding gown and the black sands of Black Bay Beach. Hotel gardens, courtyards, terraces, restaurants and banquet halls also offer an abundance of options for planning a memorable destination wedding.
Couples can also tie the knot in the elegant gardens of a historic estate house, on the deck of a charter yacht, or even wed underwater in an aquatic ceremony off Grand Anse Beach. The Hyde Park Tropical Garden in St. George’s hosts weddings, as does the Tower Estate, also famed for its flowering gardens. Clients looking for something a little more playful can arrange for a chocolate-themed wedding at the Belmont Estate cocoa plantation.
For a more intimate affair, clients can consider a wedding in a private villa overlooking the Caribbean, which can serve as a honeymoon hideaway after the last guests depart. And with advance notice, a sacred ceremony can also be arranged in one of Grenada’s historic churches, home to a wide variety of religious denominations.
Whether couples are spending their first days together as newlyweds, savoring a honeymoon in paradise, or celebrating an anniversary together, Grenada’s boutique resorts bring the romance with private villas, candlelit beach dinners, pampering spa treatments and more.
Travel advisors can easily fill a week-long Grenada honeymoon itinerary with waterfall walks and hikes to spectacular vantage points like the summit of Mount Qua Qua, Fort Frederick and Welcome Stone. Other romantic activities include moonlight kayak tours, sunset cruises while sipping champagne, dive charters and day trips to Carriacou and Petite Martinique, garden strolls, and beer and rum tastings.
