365 Issue 2 TO PRINT

Do you have a favourite wedding that you’ve organised or one that you particularly enjoyed working on? I enjoyed working on all the weddings I have planned over the years and I am grateful to all the couple who have trusted me with their vision to plan their special day. However, if I have to single out one that was enjoyable, memorable and life changing it would have to be the wedding I planned in November 2023 that led to me winning a prestigious award in Canada with the WPIC for “Best Wedding under $50,000 Canadian Dollars” and creating history for Antigua & Barbuda as the first wedding planner from Antigua to achieve this. The wedding theme was Tropical Elegance meets Boho Chic and held at Carlisle Bay Resort for a local couple. In my opinion, the best venue to have a wedding in Antigua & Barbuda is one of our beautiful beaches. With the crystal, clear waters of the Caribbean Sea as a backdrop, with the cool, tropical breeze and warm sunshine, it is the perfect setting for a wedding in paradise. Antigua & Barbuda boasts 365 of some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean so finding a suitable one that provides that beach front ambience is not difficult. A beach venue is an empty canvas that can be transformed into any design desired by the couple. For couples who may desire something different than a beachfront wedding, then the hilltop view from Can you talk a bit about the range of venues on offer on the island? Interpretation Centre at Dow’s Hill or the royal elegance of the historic Clarence House or the lush greenery and tropical palms at South Coast Horizons offers a truly magical experience. For couples who are looking for all inclusive resorts, then Carlisle Bay Resort, Tamarind Hills Resort and Hodges Bay Resort are excellent options to host their celebration. “Some of the best beach venues in Antigua are Valley Church Beach, Hawksbill Beach, Carlisle Bay and Ffryes Beach.”
