For many a young bride & groom, a Barbados honeymoon is the perfect and fitting way to wrap up a dream wedding. This is mostly because Barbados combines the best of the Caribbean and the West. It has the modernity and hassle-free efficiency of the West and the colorful culture and climate of the Caribbean.
There’s also the fact that nowhere else on the planet are guests able to savor the pleasure of feasting on flying fish and glorious sunsets. Romance fills every pore, and the pulsing rhythm of calypso and jazz forces competes with the crickets for attention. The gentle light of a silvery moon bathes everything in the warm summer nights with a heavenly glow.
Caribbean magic aside, Barbados also takes pride in being third among developed nations in the Western hemisphere behind Canada and the US. The British influence is also very strong – a holdover from the colonial era. What all this means is that getting married and enjoying a honeymoon on this island nation is a very smooth and modern enterprise.
US, UK and Canadian passport holders do not require a visa. The legalities and paperwork surrounding weddings in Barbados has also been eased quite a bit in order to promote it as a destination wedding hotspot. All that is really needed is for the bride and groom to have identification (passport/birth certificates) and return tickets.
All the major hotels have professional wedding planners to take care of everything. This includes full wedding packages, catering, flower shops, bakery and wedding cake choices, etc. It also includes the honeymoon, of course. This makes a hotel stay in Barbados just as modern and culturally in sync as in North America or Western Europe.
All that is required for a dream wedding and Barbados honeymoon is to turn up and explain to the hotel that there’s a marriage that needs to be arranged for. Make sure the hotel offers a great ocean view and oodles of privacy. The rest, as they say, is history bottled in a wedding video.
