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.
