Turks and Caicos Wedding Planners
The Turks and Caicos is an incredible place to host a destination wedding, yet it’s no secret that it can be difficult and time-consuming to plan the perfect wedding (especially from outside of the country). A wedding planner can take a lot of the stress out of arranging your important day.
There are several wedding planning companies in Turks and Caicos that can arrange all aspects of your destination wedding, from helping you obtain your wedding license and process your marriage certificate to finding a venue, booking accommodation, and organizing the catering, decorations, and photography. The wedding planner's job is to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Wedding planners also have inside information on what’s possible and the ideal locations and services that will suit your vision.
Choosing a Wedding Planer
There are a number of event management companies and wedding planners to choose from when planning your destination wedding to Turks and Caicos. Some have been in business for over a decade.
Before interviewing potential planners, decide on your budget, the size of your wedding, tentative dates, and the type of wedding you want. You’ll want to clearly discuss which aspects are being handled by the planner and which aspects you’ll be taking care of yourself.
It's best to book a consultation with several wedding planners to determine which one suits you best. Some couples want to be involved in managing every aspect of their ceremony, whereas others aren't worried about the details.
Wedding Planner Prices
The cost of hiring a wedding planner in the Turks and Caicos varies by business. Wedding planners typically have several packages that you can choose from for weddings of different sizes. Usually, the larger the wedding, the greater the cost.
One expense that can account for a large portion of your Turks and Caicos wedding budget is accommodation. Accommodation prices are highly dependent on the time of year. Many local resorts offer wedding packages (which may include additional amenities such as time at a spa) or discounts if you reserve a certain number of rooms. Your wedding planner can inquire about reserving a block of rooms at a resort (or several properties), making it more affordable for you and your guests to travel to Turks and Caicos for the wedding. This is also the case for restaurants and catering services.
Wedding Location and Reception
For the marriage ceremony, there’s the option of a local church, private vacation villa, or right on the beach. Some couples opt for a private ceremony on one of the secluded, uninhabited cays.
Grace Bay Beach on Providenciales is the most popular location for beach weddings. Receptions are typically held at a resort’s onsite restaurant, as there is a lack of conference and event halls in the country, or directly on the beach.
Some resorts, hotels, and villas offer a better setting for a wedding or reception than other locations do. See Best Wedding Resorts.
Alternative Ideas
A sunset boat cruise or similar venue is also popular with those getting married in the Turks and Caicos, either for the wedding or reception. Several of the luxury charter companies can take the whole wedding party out to spectacular cays such as Water Cay, Fort George Cay, or Half Moon Bay.
