Sint Maarten Weddings
Full-service destination wedding planning from beach ceremonies to yacht celebrations across the island.
Why Go
Planning a wedding from thousands of miles away on an island you may have visited once — or never — is the kind of project that turns excitement into anxiety fast. Sint Maarten Weddings takes on the entire logistics chain from legal paperwork and venue scouting to floral design and day-of coordination, turning what could be a stressful long-distance puzzle into a Caribbean celebration that actually feels effortless for the couple.
The Experience
The process starts with a consultation that maps out your vision, budget, and guest count, then the team presents venue options matched to your style — barefoot toes-in-sand on a quiet beach, a cliffside ceremony overlooking the Atlantic, a resort garden setting, or even a yacht ceremony on the lagoon. From there, every vendor gets vetted and booked: photographer, videographer, officiant (legal or symbolic), florist, DJ or live band, caterer, hair and makeup artist, and transportation for the wedding party. International couples get help navigating the civil marriage paperwork, apostille requirements, and any documents needed for the marriage to be recognized back home. On the day itself, a coordinator runs the timeline so the couple and their guests can simply show up and be present.
What to Try
The yacht ceremony option is uniquely St. Maarten — exchanging vows on the Simpson Bay Lagoon with the sunset behind you is hard to replicate anywhere else. For intimate elopements, ask about the cliffside packages that include just the couple, an officiant, photographer, and champagne. Vow renewal packages are popular for milestone anniversaries and typically run at a fraction of full wedding pricing.
Insider Tip
Book at least six months ahead for peak season (December through April) when the best venues fill fast. The legal marriage process in Sint Maarten requires specific residency documentation — the team handles this but starting the paperwork early avoids last-minute scrambles.
