I recently returned from another trip to St Lucia. The island itself is stunning and lush and evokes a magical feel with it's rainforests and majestic famous peaks, the Pitons! Since this was not my first time to this tropical island I was already aware of some of things that make St Lucia so inviting to visitors from around the world! However it was my sister's first trip here, so I was excited to share what I knew and already loved about this small Caribbean hot spot! I always say "the further away the destination, the better it is" which is totally true in this case. From the interior of British Columbia, Canada, this island is a bit of a distance to travel to. St Lucia is located in the Eastern Caribbean, only 3 islands north of South America, boasting gorgeous weather, crystal clear waters and history dating back centuries. This destination is ideal for couples wanting an exotic feel of a true tropical getaway with the comforts of well appointed accommodations and amenities! With day trips to the rainforest, waterfalls, mud baths, hot springs, deep sea fishing, sailing, scuba diving, ziplining, snokeling, hiking, shopping, gambling, touring rum factories and banana plantations; there is endless possibility to keep busy. And if you prefer to relax and unwind there are countless beaches, spas, pools and ways to escape in St Lucia! Of course another reason to come to the Caribbean is the cool beverages, mouth watering food and fresh fruits! I was beyond please to find local fruit vendors selling homegrown, handpicked local fruits from their kayaks each day on the beach! My kind of breakfast! St Lucia offers a backdrop like none other to say "I do". View breathtaking views of the Piton mountains to turquoise blues of the Caribbean Sea and tropical palm tree beaches you can be married in your choice of local! St Lucia now features the Caribbean's first and only overwater chapel located at Sandals Grande St Lucian. Set at the end of a pier providing stunning 360 degrees views of Rodney Bay, featuring a glass bottom floor and ample space for loved ones to celebrate your I do's. This is the crème de la crème of locations. Ready to plan your destination wedding in St Lucia!?

These days everyone is online -- my grandma uses an iPhone and my 2 year old nephew uses an iPad like no one's business! So, here are some 21 century tips on planning your destination wedding.
Wedding Butlers offers major advantages and cost saving perks like wedding websites and e-vites at no extra costs!
Wedding Website:
Our services include a wedding website that contains all the need to know info for your guests! All of the must have details like celebration dates, location and of course, cost. Plus some cool extras like a guest book so friends and family can write you a message. A photo gallery of the happy couple and beautiful tropical pics of the destination and resort! We also include an advanced RSVP system that allows guests to accept or decline your invite which will then send them the instructions on how to complete their reservation. Seamless, stress-free and simple! All at your fingertips! These days it's essential to have a wedding website.
Pinterest:
If you aren't following us on Pinterest, you should be! It's a necessary tool for finding wedding inspiration! Our boards and pins are specifically geared for the resorts and venues we work with so they're filled with what has been done, what can be done and some pretty awesome ideas that you will want to consider! One of the challenging things of having a destination wedding is that you may not be aware of what your options are and some of the resources are limited. But, that's where we come in! We've been to these places! We've planned countless events here! We've had our own weddings on these same beaches and resorts! Not to mention the strong relationship we've built with our vendors and resorts. Wedding Butlers can make your Pinterest wedding a reality!
E-vites & Newsletters:
People are attached to their phones, emails, social networks... so put the information where the people are! While sending out paper invitations may be the formal and traditional way, it's not necessarily as practical when it comes to planning a destination wedding. In most cases the quote you receive for your destination wedding is only valid for a certain length of time. In that time frame you and your guests will need to put down a deposit to confirm their reservation. Having a time constraint can make things tricky when waiting on Mr Postman. You will want to give everyone the info as soon as you can to allow them ample time to make their reservation. Plus the way we create your beautifully designed e-vite guests can click to get to your wedding website instantly! Our mailing system is pretty sophisticated. It allows us to see who has opened or not opened your e-vite! We use this same tool to send out some helpful reminders to your group like "your balance is due" or "packing tips for your big trip!" even "check out these local tours". Don't worry, we'll only send a few and at your permission -- we promise not to bug your guests!
Wedding Butlers' services are a major asset when planning your day in paradise! Looking to tie the knot somewhere tropical? We would love to help!
Deciding to have a destination wedding can be a tough choice. For some couples they know right away that a destination wedding is the route for them, but other couples may still be on the fence about a wedding away! Here's some reasons why a destination wedding is a great option for you! A chance to be unique! Having a destination wedding allows you to stand out and be different. When your friends and family choose to have a local wedding you won't be subject to using the same vendors and venues they go with, giving you a way to stand out from the crowd! Plus, yours will be talked about for years to come! Everyone loves a tropical vaca! Yes, your wedding is the highlight of the trip but having a getaway wedding also allows your loved ones to have a much needed escape from reality. Asking them to join you to celebrate your I do's in a tropical paradise is a perfect way for them to have some R&R too! Like most home town wedding celebrations time is limited and finding time to hang out and catch up (and thank!) your friends and family in a weekend or worse just one night is practically impossible. Why not head south for a week and really get to celebrate with your nearest and dearest! More affordable! Destination weddings are more affordable, and for a few reasons! A) in most cases you won't have a massive guest list of 150+ people like you would at home, so fewer mouths to feed. B) Resorts and hotel offer wedding packages including a variety of the necessities you need to host a gorgeous events rather then adding each item up separate the resort includes the big ticket items! C) Less is more! You actually don't need as much décor, flowers, lighting, etc. to create a stunning atmosphere; paradise is already beautiful! Actually planning the big day! Not everyone has the bride / groom gene! Did you know that planning a wedding is typically 200 + hours of work and time! While destination weddings do still need to be planned there is far less work to be done when you work with Wedding Butlers. We have built relationships with our vendors, resorts, travel partners and having been destination brides and grooms ourselves we know a thing or two about the process! We're experts and have a seamless system to create your dream day. Leave us to do the work while you relax and enjoy your engagement! Ready to get started?

Guys get more involved… and like it:

Once upon a time destination weddings were not that common. Couples basically eloped without much planning. Even as the trend of destination weddings grew, many resorts and hotels were not equipped with the materials, flowers and decor that a "at home" wedding would have. Resorts simply relied on their natural surroundings to create a beautiful backdrop and to some people, that's enough. The ocean, beach, palm trees, sunset are all beautiful and create a stunning destination wedding.
Now, as destination weddings are more popular than ever, resorts and hotels are creating exquisite one of a kind weddings. Gone are the days when there were only 2 flower choices, 2 colors of drapes, 1 type of chair and 2 options for dinner. Many resorts are able to customize your day and night and create your dream wedding completely personalized your favorite colors and flowers. Even adding completely specific items to match your ideal decor, resorts have endless choices! Wedding Butlers is happy to provide those exact resorts and hotels to our brides and grooms so you too can have your dream come true wedding!
What we offer is entirely based on what you need and want. It's that simple. Just send us an email or give us a call and we will work together to create exactly what suits you.
