Unconventional Turks and Caicos wedding!

[KaraMae]

After reading a lot of threads about the bigger hotels (Beaches etc), I'm thinking of having a very small, non fussy, low key wedding. The hotels seems to have so many restrictions on outside vendors and such high costs for non important stuff. I would LOVE to hire a boat to take guests to either a small Island or non occupied area where we can have a very intimate ceremony. Then maybe have cocktails (champaign, beer etc) then boat back to have a small beach reception at a local restaurant. Maybe hire a local band also. Does that seem possible at all? Or am I just dreaming? Any info would be so greatly appreciated!

That is exactly what I'm doing, except in the Bahamas!  Unless you have local connections, it might be easiest if you find a local wedding planner.

Oh my gosh, really? I would love to stay connected with you and see your ideas! I see your wedding is in June, are you worried about hurricanes/bad weather at all? Do you have a wedding planner or are you winging it? Would love any input!

We definitely see those kinds of weddings here...they can be very casual and low key or have a bit more planning to it. 

 

It is certainly "do able" and memorable as well.

 

Here are a few I can think of to give you ideas:

That can give you a few ideas.  What is nice about the T&C is that we have a number of quiet beaches and small island cays you can get married on as well as some great boats to get you there.

We are getting married in August in T&C on Grace Bay Beach. We have our guests staying at the Sibonne and I have hired a planner to handle the paperwork, etc; the ceremony will take place right outside the hotel on the beach. After, we have the Sibonne catering a dinner for our guests.
