Beachfront ceremony space

The resort's main beach provides a classic Caribbean wedding backdrop with white sand, turquoise water, and mountain views. This is the most popular ceremony location and works best for guest counts up to approximately 80–100 depending on layout.

Planning tip: Plan for late-afternoon timing to avoid midday heat and get the best natural light for photos.

Garden & lawn spaces

For couples who prefer a tropical garden ceremony or want a shaded cocktail hour location, the resort's lawn and garden areas offer an alternative to the beach with lush greenery and privacy.

Best fit: smaller, intimate ceremonies or couples who want a "green" backdrop instead of ocean views.

Private restaurant dinners

For receptions, couples can arrange private or semi-private dining experiences at the resort's on-site restaurants— including FIRE, La Cucina Italian Restaurant, and Calypso Restaurant—offering diverse culinary options from steakhouse to Italian to Caribbean fusion.

Planning shortcut: A beachfront ceremony followed by a private dinner at La Cucina or FIRE creates a seamless, elegant flow.

Poolside & terrace spaces

The resort's pool and terrace areas can be used for cocktail receptions or casual post-ceremony celebrations, especially for groups that want a relaxed, social vibe without a formal sit-down dinner.

Best fit: welcome parties, rehearsal dinners, or couples who want a laid-back celebration style.

Two-Bedroom Villa

These villas sleep up to 8 guests and include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen, living and dining areas, and a private balcony or patio. Perfect for immediate family or the wedding party.

Planning tip: Book these for parents, close family, or bridesmaids/groomsmen who want to stay together.

Three-Bedroom Villa

The largest accommodation option, sleeping up to 10 guests, with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full kitchen, spacious living and dining areas, and expansive outdoor space. Ideal for multi-generational families or the couple's home base.

Best fit: couples who want a private villa for getting ready, hosting pre-wedding gatherings, or post-wedding brunches.

FIRE

A premium steakhouse and grill featuring high-quality cuts, fresh seafood, and an upscale ambiance—perfect for an elegant rehearsal dinner or reception dinner.

La Cucina Italian Restaurant

Authentic Italian dining with fresh pasta, wood-fired pizza, and classic Italian dishes—ideal for a family-style reception dinner with a warm, communal feel.

Calypso Restaurant

Caribbean and international cuisine served in a relaxed beachfront setting—perfect for a casual welcome dinner or post-wedding brunch with tropical flavors.

Bohemia

A stylish venue offering creative cocktails and light bites—ideal for a pre-wedding cocktail party or late-night celebration with a sophisticated lounge atmosphere.

ARWEE

A relaxed dining option with Caribbean-inspired flavors and poolside service—great for a casual group lunch or day-after farewell gathering.

Calypso Cafe

A café-style venue serving light meals, coffee, and grab-and-go options—perfect for quick breakfasts, coffee meetups, or casual group gatherings.

The biggest cost drivers

• Guest count (larger groups require more catering, seating, and coordination)
• Reception dining style (private restaurant buyout vs. set menu vs. buffet)
• Floral & décor (ceremony arch, aisle arrangements, table centerpieces, lighting)
• Entertainment (live band, steel pan, DJ, sound system rentals)
• Photography/videography (local vendors vs. traveling photographers)

Smart "value" moves

• Invest in a statement floral arch for the beach ceremony—it becomes the focal point of all your photos
• Choose a private dinner at La Cucina or FIRE instead of a full catered outdoor reception
• Use the natural beachfront setting to minimize décor needs—simple aisle florals + sunset timing = stunning photos
• Plan a welcome cocktail party at Bohemia instead of a full rehearsal dinner
• Book a Three-Bedroom Villa as your home base for getting ready, pre-wedding prep, and intimate gatherings

Pros

• Villa-style accommodations perfect for families and wedding parties staying together
• Beachfront ceremony location with classic Caribbean views and photo opportunities
• Multiple on-site restaurants (FIRE, La Cucina, Calypso) for private reception dinners
• Family-friendly atmosphere works well for multi-generational weddings
• Intimate setting that feels private and exclusive without overwhelming resort crowds

Cons

• Limited large-scale event space—not ideal for weddings over 100 guests
• Villa-style format means less traditional resort amenities (no huge ballroom or nightclub)
• Outdoor ceremonies are subject to weather and heat—plan for shade and backup options
• Smaller property means fewer concurrent weddings but also fewer built-in event services compared to mega-resorts
• St. Kitts location requires international flights for most guests (not as accessible as Cancun/Jamaica)

8–12 months out

• Reserve your wedding date and beachfront ceremony space with the resort
• Book villa accommodations for your wedding party and immediate family
• Estimate guest count and decide if you'll need a private restaurant buyout or multi-venue flow

4–7 months out

• Finalize ceremony timing (late afternoon is best for light and comfort)
• Lock in reception dining plan (private dinner at FIRE, La Cucina, or Calypso)
• Confirm décor priorities: ceremony arch, aisle florals, table arrangements
• Arrange hair & makeup services and spa packages for the wedding party

0–8 weeks out

• Confirm final guest count and villa assignments
• Finalize music and entertainment (steel pan band, DJ, or live acoustic)
• Plan welcome event (cocktails at Bohemia or casual dinner at Calypso)
