Jamaica, Saint Lucia, Barbados, Antigua, Grenada, Curaçao, The Bahamas (Exuma), and Saint Vincent & The Grenadines.
Beaches Resorts (family-friendly) are located in:

Each island — and each resort — offers a unique atmosphere, wedding style, and guest experience. Part of my role as a Gold Elite Sandals Specialist is helping you choose the destination and resort that best aligns with your vision, guest list, and overall experience you want to create.
The best destination for you depends on a few key factors — your wedding vision, guest list, budget, and the overall experience you want to create.
Some destinations are ideal for larger guest lists and easy travel, while others offer a more intimate, romantic feel. Certain islands are perfect for relaxed beach ceremonies, while others shine for dramatic scenery, luxury touches, or family-friendly celebrations.
As a Gold Elite Sandals Specialist, I help guide you through these options by considering:
My goal is to help you choose a destination that not only feels right for you as a couple, but also creates the best possible experience for your guests — without overwhelm or guesswork.
Ideally, couples should begin planning a destination wedding 12–18 months in advance, especially for popular travel dates, larger guest lists, or peak wedding seasons. Starting early allows for the best resort availability, group rates, flight options, and gives your guests ample time to plan and budget.
For honeymoons or milestone celebrations, planning 6–12 months in advance is recommended, depending on the destination, travel season, and resort availability.
That said, every situation is unique. As a Gold Elite Sandals Specialist, I help guide you through realistic timelines based on your vision, guest needs, and desired travel dates — whether you’re planning well in advance or working with a shorter timeframe.
Not necessarily — and in many cases, destination weddings can actually be more cost-effective than a traditional local wedding.
Destination weddings often include key elements such as the venue, ceremony setup, basic décor, and coordination within the wedding package itself. This can significantly reduce costs compared to local weddings, where each element is typically booked separately.
In addition, destination weddings tend to have a more intimate guest list, which naturally lowers overall expenses while allowing you to focus on a meaningful experience with your closest family and friends.
As a Gold Elite Sandals Specialist, I help couples understand the full picture — from wedding package inclusions and resort pricing to guest expectations — so you can determine what makes the most sense for your vision, priorities, and budget.
Guest budgets can vary depending on the destination, resort, length of stay, travel dates, and room category chosen. For Sandals and Beaches destination weddings, most guests typically budget for:
As a general guideline, I help couples choose destinations and resorts that align with realistic guest budgets and offer a range of room categories to accommodate different comfort levels.
As your Gold Elite Sandals Specialist, I also support your guests with flexible payment plans, clear communication, and advance planning timelines — making it easier for them to plan, budget, and attend with confidence.
It’s very common for some guests to be unable to attend a destination wedding — and that’s completely okay. Most couples plan their celebration knowing that not everyone will be able to travel, and destination weddings are typically more intimate by nature.
As part of the planning process, I help you set realistic expectations around attendance and choose destinations and resorts that work well for your guest list. Your wedding plans, packages, and experience are never dependent on every guest attending.
I also handle all guest communication and bookings, so guests who are unable to attend can simply decline without added pressure — allowing you to focus on celebrating with those who are able to join you.
When couples first begin planning a destination wedding, honeymoon, or Caribbean vacation, one of the most common questions I hear is:
“Is Sandals or Beaches really worth it?”
The truth is — the answer depends on the experience you’re looking for.
Sandals and Beaches Resorts are known for luxury, service, and all-inclusive ease — but they aren’t meant to be everything to everyone. And that’s actually what makes them such an incredible choice for the right couples.
Let’s break down who Sandals and Beaches are best suited for — and how to know if one of these luxury brands aligns with your vision.
Sandals Resorts are adults-only, all-inclusive luxury resorts designed specifically for couples.
Sandals may be the perfect fit if you’re looking for:
✔ A romantic, elevated atmosphere
✔ Adults-only luxury
✔ A seamless destination wedding or honeymoon experience
✔ Premium dining, top-shelf drinks, and thoughtful service
✔ Beautiful beachfront and garden wedding venues
✔ An experience where everything is included
Sandals weddings are especially popular for couples who want a refined yet relaxed celebration — where planning feels simple and the experience feels indulgent.
Beaches Resorts offer the same luxury and all-inclusive service Sandals is known for — in a family-friendly environment.
Beaches may be the perfect fit if you’re planning:
✔ A destination wedding with children in attendance
✔ A family-friendly wedding weekend
✔ A honeymoon combined with family travel
✔ A luxury vacation where guests of all ages feel included
✔ A stress-free group or family celebration
For couples who want a destination wedding that welcomes everyone — without sacrificing service or quality — Beaches Resorts are an incredible option.
While Sandals and Beaches offer exceptional value for the experience they provide, they may not be ideal if:
• You’re searching for the lowest possible price
• You prefer a completely DIY planning process
• You’re unsure about destination travel for your guest list
• You want to manage vendors and logistics independently
And that’s okay.
Clarity early in the planning process saves couples time, money, and stress later on.
One of the biggest mistakes couples make is choosing a resort before understanding how destination wedding planning truly works.
When you know:
everything becomes easier — from narrowing down resorts to choosing dates, budgets, and wedding packages.
This is where working with a Sandals & Beaches specialist makes a meaningful difference.
As a dedicated Sandals & Beaches wedding, honeymoon, and vacation specialist, my role is to help couples determine early on whether this luxury brand aligns with their vision.
I guide couples through:
My goal is never to “sell” a resort — it’s to help you make a confident, informed decision that feels right for you.
When couples choose a resort that truly matches their vision, the planning process feels lighter, clearer, and far more enjoyable.
Sandals and Beaches offer an elevated destination experience — but the key is knowing which one fits your celebration best.
If you’re considering a Sandals or Beaches destination wedding, honeymoon, or vacation for 2026 or 2027, I’d love to help you explore your options and move forward with confidence.
If either brand is on your vision board, reach out and let’s chat about next steps.
Clarity is always the best place to begin 🤍
