Sandals Wedding FAQs

Sandals offers a wide variety of destination wedding venues that can accommodate indoor and outdoor events! Our most popular venues, which can be found at various resorts, include the Sandals Over-The-Water Serenity Chapel, Intimate Wedding Chapel, Over-The-Water Gazebo, Garden Gazebo, and beautiful white sand beaches. Sandals golf course and Sky Terrace venues are exclusive to specific resorts. Cocktail and dinner receptions can be hosted indoors (ballroom) or outdoors (garden or beach).

Sandals Resorts provides you with a catalog of floral and decor rental options, available on the island specific to your resort and destination wedding events. Explore our curated styles for added inspiration and to create your own destination wedding mood board.

You can, but we recommend choosing from options already available on the island as there are customs laws that will require you to pay taxes and duties on any wedding decor items and favors you bring. There is also a chance they could be confiscated if they are deemed commercial items. If you do decide to carry items with you, please note that there is an applicable resort setup fee. Please speak with your Wedding Planner for full details.

A non-denominational minister presides over our wedding ceremonies, but if you wish to inquire about having a non-religious ceremony or religious ceremony (an additional cost may apply), please consult with your Wedding Planner. Symbolic ceremonies are available only at Sandals Royal Curaçao.

It is required that you get married at the same resort where you are staying. The only exception is the Frank Warren Chapel at Sandals Montego Bay, which is available if you are a guest at Sandals Royal Caribbean.

To have children attend your wedding at Sandals, please submit a request through your Sandals Wedding Planner. Keep in mind that the number of guests able to attend is limited and requires approval from the General Manager of the resort. If your request is approved, children must arrive 30 minutes prior to the ceremony and depart immediately afterwards. Their time at the resort would be limited to the designated function area.

Beaches Resorts, a part of the Sandals family, is an alternate option that caters to weddings with children. Beaches Resorts is not adults-only and offers family friendly accommodation and facilities.

Sandals offers the following options of flavors for the wedding cake: vanilla, chocolate, Caribbean fruit, red velvet, carrot or brownie. There are also a variety of filling flavors available and vegan cake flavor options by request. View our catering menu for more details.

Catered events with premium bars, passed hors d'oeuvres, and plated or buffet dinners with dedicated service can be arranged for an additional setup fee per guest. In addition, any guests staying at Sandals can dine and drink at up to 16 all-inclusive gourmet restaurants and bars per resort. Contact your Wedding Planning Team for a complete overview of catering options.

From a private welcome cocktail party and an intimate game night to DJ's, dance floors and string quartets—all of this and more can be arranged. Once the wedding celebrations conclude, continue the fun across the resort with lively beach parties, unique theme nights, and exciting live shows.
