As more brides are in search of elusive islands to host intimate destination weddings at, we’ve expanded some of the destinations we feature on our website. In today’s post, we’re going to highlight some recent editions across the Caribbean, from Curacao to Puerto Rico, and offer a resort suggestion in each location. Although these locations may be exotic, and truly unique, it’s important to note they may require a heftier price tag in order to host your wedding there. You should also consider that travel time may require extra coordination, and travel costs may be extra for your guests too.
