Car Rentals
If you are staying on island at a hotel or villa we HIGHLY recommend renting
a car or jeep while you are here. This will
give you the freedom to explore the island as well as get you to and from
your wedding. If
you are here for a week taxi rides will get expensive. Taxis charge per
person not per vehicle. Therefore, to go just about anywhere you will
pay on average $20 per couple one way and another $20 per couple to get
to another location. You can rent a car for the whole day for what a few
taxi rides will cost you.
Most car rental companies will deliver the
car to you at the airport or your cruise ship.
Rates vary around $60 per day or $250 per week

your dress or Tux steamed |
To Top |
NOTE on
tuxes: We highly recommend that you do not have the groom in a hot tux.
Remember that it is the tropics and he will be hot. If you do decide on
a tux make sure it is not black and that the material is light and breathable.
The same with dresses - light and breathable!

We recommend that you have your cake after your wedding dinner or lunch
as opposed to on location as cakes get messy in the sun and on the beach.
You can usually arrange this directly with your restaurant or cruise ship
or you can order directly through our on island bakeries and have them deliver
to your restaurant.
On island bakeries:
