I dropped a tear in the ocean, and whenever they find it I’ll stop loving you, only then…” – Anonymous

Have you ever dreamed of coming to Saint Barth for your wedding or of celebrating your anniversary by renewing your vows on a romantic beach before sunset?
Do you find it difficult to plan this event by yourself? In this article, I will provide you with a few good tips about Saint Barts Wedding Planners.

Why St. Barts is a terrific wedding destination

• St. Barth is a favorite wedding destination for most Americans, wealthy people and celebrities, because of the splendor of the island itself. Its amazing landscapes create an intimate feeling of love.
• The hospitality infrastructure is one the best in the Caribbean: You can find here wedding planners, luxury hotels, top restaurants and other services available within your reach.
• The French influence makes a very unique island, where honeymooners and newlyweds can stay in a villa as if they were traveling to the French Riviera.

You are probably looking for THE perfect place on at St Barts beach,  at a hotel or in a villa where to say your I Do’s. Sometimes, I totally understand that you can get overwhelmed with finding the perfect spot in Saline or in Gouverneur Beach, looking for a nice hotel where to have your wedding party, etc. True, planning for your own wedding can be fun and it can save you a lot of money.

But in some situations, your whole plan can turn out to be a mess, or let’s put it mildly, far from what you had imagined So, to make yourself worry-free from your wedding hullabaloo, hiring a wedding planner can be the smartest decision that you can do. That is why I will try here ti help you find and contact your St Barts Wedding Planners.

Imagine yourself walking on the soft white sand of Saline beach or being on Shell Beach surrounded by hundreds of shells just lying on the sand waiting to be washed away by small waves. Imagine kissing your loved one where the sun set over the horizon, while the cool ocean breeze blows your hair gently. This romantic, luxurious and once-in-a-lifetime experience is never impossible.

Sweet video: Watch Elisa and Xavier tie the knot on Gouverneur beach

Here’s what I would call a successful and romantic beach wedding in St. Barts. Simple, intimate, fun and romantic.

 

Groom Xavier and Bride Elisa celebrate their wedding on Gouverneur Beach – Abyss Image production by Stephen and Xavier.

This is a romantic and intimate wedding video of Elisa and Xavier at Gouverneur Beach, with chairs in the sand, an acoustic music playing in the background. with attendance of family and friends.

What I like about this wedding is that, from beginning until end, the bride, groom, as well as the guests, seem to be experiencing a joyful, touching and unique moment. We can feel the love and emotions going through them. The pictorials after the wedding are wonderful and exciting especially during the reception. Of course, I love the all-night party and the dip in the pool of Hotel Christopher to celebrate this marriage.

Note that theis St Barts wedding was put together by “Gold’n Guest” Wedding and Event Planner Nelly Roussel.

Before we move on to our Wedding Planners, let me give you some St. Barthelemy wedding tips.

Practical Information to Get Married in St. Barth:

St. Barths being under French Law, you are required to send a dossier a month before the wedding and personally delivering it to the civil registry is important.  The dossier should include:

• Copies of Birth Certificate that is issued not more than 6 months before the wedding.

• An application request sent to the civil registry that is signed and dated by the couples. Any foreign issued certificates should be translated and made legal to the native country of the couples.

• The couples should be able to provide a proof of identity whether it is a valid visa or a passport.

• Information about the future spouses parents such as: First and Last Name, Address, Profession and Date and Place of Birth.

• Information about the future spouses witnesses such as: First and Last Name, Address, Profession and Date and Place of Birth.

• A certificate issued by the Embassy or Consulate from the native country or the country concerned regarding marital status.

• A certificate issued by the Embassy or Consulate from the native country or the country concerned regarding matrimonial capacity or certificate of celibacy.

• Divorce decree as well as its translated version

• A proof of 1 month residency in the island if either one of them is from foreign countries, proving that they have been continuously staying/living in the island one month prior to the wedding.

The civil registry also request for an official translator to be present during your wedding ceremony. And, of course, there are certain requirements that St. Barths would like the you and your future spouse to remember and follow:

• Freedom of consent

• Must be 18 years old or older to be married

• That both parties should be present during the ceremony including yours and his relatives.

• Prohibition of polygamy

• A final decision of marriage before the public official or the priest perform the wedding ceremony.

Same-sex marriage is also legal in St. Barts and in France ;  Checki your home legal system to see whether it is valid in your country as well.

A lot of people who “marry “in St. Barts have usually been already legally married back home, but they just want the party to be held in the island. Some couples also would like to rekindle their wedding memories and emotions in St. Barts. Weddings such as the one you saw in the video is an example of this.

Also note that you need to get the approval of the local authorities if you want to organize a party on public places like a beach. Hence, this is where a local wedding planner would be of big help for you, since they are used to contacing local authorities for permissions.

The Anglican Church in St. Barths

If you prefer to have a Christian wedding or just a blessing at St Bartholomew’s Anglican Church on St Barth, you can turn to the local reverend. To everyone’s taste in St. Barth, the choir at the Anglican church is much better than that at the Catholic one in Lorient 😉

However, under French Law, having a religious wedding alone is not valid. Instead, you must go the City Hall first and get a secular (civil) wedding before heading out to church.

Choosing Between a Hotel or a Villa:

St Barts wedding planners can recommend a perfect place for you to stay when you arrive in St. Barthelemy. They can also suggest a great place for your honeymoon based on your preference. However, selecting between a villa or a hotel still depends on your decision.

As you may know, 80% of St. Barths are villa rentals amounting to 350 whether it is big or small while there are only 22 hotels in the island. If you expect to spend your wedding day and honeymoon on either a luxury villa or a hotel such as Hotel Le Toiny, Hotel Christopher or Eden Rock, booking months before the event would be the best thing for you to do. Most hotels and luxury villas even provide a wedding and honeymoon package.

Weddings in St. Barths are always considered to be one of the most romantic, elegant and luxurious weddings. Whether you want to have an intimate ceremony by the beach or a celebrated Christian Wedding in the Anglican Church or even a wedding in a luxurious villa. St. Barts Wedding Planners are always theire to provide you the best services there is.
