Cost for a Stay: One-bedroom oceanfront suites at the Reef Residences on Grace Bay are $400 per night between April 8 and December 21, 2007 including the most popular months for weddings, June through September. In high season, January 1 to April 7, the suites are $550 per night.
Rates include full American breakfast daily, free airport transfers, two complimentary half-hour massages, welcome cocktails and free snorkeling equipment, beach towels and chairs.
Why It's Dreamy: “We have one of the most romantic settings that a bride and groom could wish for,” explains veteran Caribbean hotelier and managing director Andre Niederhauser. “When you’re getting married in our island paradise, you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars for the perfect wedding venue. We provide the setting and nature does the rest. And because we are small, we make a point of organizing only one wedding a week.”
Days at the resort are stress-free. The bride and groom can be pampered in the Ayurveda Spa, chill out in the waters of Grace Bay or take a dip in the resort’s two swimming pools. Adventurous couples can go diving after picking up their scuba gear at the Dive Shop. Dining options include the casual Beach Café and the Epicurean Restaurant for contemporary Caribbean cuisine with fresh fish and seafood.
Wedding Regulations: Marriage regulations are simple in the Turks and Caicos:
* Couples must stay on Provo for 48 hours prior to applying for their marriage license.
* The bride and groom must be over 21 (or bring notarized written parental consent).
* The bride and groom must provide a passport for identification. |
