Can non-residents legally get married here?

Absolutely. No residency requirement and same-day marriage licenses make it fuss-free. But if you want, you can legally get married in your home country and have a beautiful symbolic ceremony in Antigua and Barbuda.

When's the best time to tie the knot in Antigua and Barbuda?

December to April = peak season with beautiful dry weather, but pricier. Shoulder season (May and June) offers savings, while July to November is more affordable but wetter.

Are resort wedding packages inclusive of vendors like photographers, florists, and catering?

Most packages include the basics like ceremony setup, bouquet, cake, officiant, reception with catering, music, and a coordinator. Some even include a spa day or photographer.

Is Antigua and Barbuda LGBTQ+ friendly for weddings?

Antigua and Barbuda recently took a big step forward by decriminalizing same-sex relationships and adding constitutional protections against discrimination, which is great news. That said, same-sex marriage isn't legally recognized, and symbolic ceremonies may not be welcomed openly across the islands. While some international resorts may offer more inclusive services, we recommend checking directly with the property before planning. For a more supportive and celebratory experience, there are other Caribbean destinations that may be a better fit.

365 Beaches

Antigua is famously said to have a different beach for every day of the year. That means you'll have an incredible variety of ceremony locations to choose from, from lively stretches of white sand to secluded coves that feel completely private.

Twin Island Charm

With Antigua and Barbuda, you get 2 islands in one destination. Antigua is known for its luxury resorts and vibrant atmosphere, while Barbuda offers untouched pink sand beaches and remarkable seclusion. Couples can celebrate in one location and escape to the other for a peaceful honeymoon.

Relaxed Luxury

Antigua's luxury resorts feel spacious rather than crowded. Many host only a limited number of weddings, allowing couples to enjoy personalised service, flexible planning, and a more intimate atmosphere. Your celebration feels like the resort's priority instead of one event among many.

Family-Friendly

Antigua offers calm beaches, luxury resorts, wildlife experiences, boat tours, soothing spas, cultural attractions, and plenty of opportunities for guests of all ages to have fun. Everyone can enjoy the trip at their own pace while celebrating together.
