Tobago for your Wedding Day

If you’re planning on getting married, then you must consider Tobago. Paradise Island, sensational solitary sandy beaches with tall coconut palms, turquoise blue warm Caribbean Sea, perpetual summer, friendly people, and sweet fragrance of exotic flowers next to the soft rhythm of the gentle lapping waves. This place is ideal for your wedding day; inspired by the story of ‘Robinson Crusoe’ Tobago is the place.
Tobago is definitely an Island for those who really want to get away from it all. All you will ever need for a fantastic wedding with all the ingredients for a newly married couple.

You will have the flexibility to pick the location of your choice to get married, in a church, on the beach, in a villa, in a hotel, all with fantastic panoramic sea views and flora to enhance the wedding photographs and videos.

Tobago has experienced wedding co-ordinators that can plan all the detailed requirements to make your wedding day a very special day. They can arrange, the Minister, documentation and licences, the wedding venue, catering, the wedding cake, the flowers, the Champagne, everything you require even down to the two witnesses if required!
Complete wedding packages are available from the basic to the exotic, from a small guest list, to a large guest list. A choice of venues to suit you wedding size and budget can be offered and planned down to the last cup and saucer.

Legalities and Documentation for a Special Marriage License

They must reside in the country three days before getting married (not including the day of arrival).

The cost of the first certificate is $TT 25.00 and for each certificate thereafter $TT 12.50. Most countries accept marriages in T &T without any additional requirements, but it is advisable to check.

I was luck enough to attend a wedding on the Grafton Beach in Tobago, what a great place to say “I Do”. The setting was fabulous with a floral wedding arch placed in the sand for the happy couple to walk through and start their wedding ceremony.
The happy couple stood in front of the floral arch with their back drop of a golden sandy beach and turquoise blue sea. The waves where breaking on the black rocks on the shore line making it perfect for the wedding photographs and video. There was a table and three chairs on the beach for the Minister and the happy couple for signing off the wedding legalities, basically fantastic!
The climate is ideal for your wedding at anytime of the year but there are seasonal changes, high season is December through to May and is known locally as the dry season, low season is for the remained of the year.
