Sint Maarten / St. Martin: Weddings

Practical Ways to Plan and Celebrate Your Caribbean Wedding Sint Maarten and Saint-Martin offer almost every setting imaginable for a Caribbean wedding: a barefoot ceremony on the beach, an elegant resort reception, an intimate villa celebration, a tropical garden dinner or a sunset party overlooking the sea. The two sides of the island provide very different atmospheres. Dutch Sint Maarten has larger resorts, lively entertainment areas and a relatively practical process for visiting couples who want to marry legally on the island. French Saint-Martin offers boutique hotels, private villas, fine dining and secluded beachfront locations, but its legal marriage requirements are less convenient for couples visiting for only a few days.
