Island Destination Wedding

Hi, my name is Cindy. My family and I, including my company, are looking for a destination wedding location on a island.

We found a great location! Somerset Resort on Turks and Caicos Grace Bay Beach.

So far going really well - such professionalism! I've got 12 couples and 3 extended families coming and Suzie, who has been so sweet in reservations, has put us all in penthouse condo suites and 3 bedroom condo suites. We are saving a pile of money!! Who would have thought in the Turks and Caicos that it could be so affordable!! I'm even frugile and it's right up my alley!!! See Becky I did find a place!

The people planning it for me - at no charge - work for the resort. Monique has all of the details together, she is the wedding planner. She's done island weddings for years even though by the look of her she's not too much older than me. And I'm just old enough to get myself downsized at anytime - as all of my friends have been. And they can still afford to come to my destination island wedding on the Turks and Caicos!!! I feel like a superstar!!

Lauren is the chef - she's tres fab! The menu she has created featuring local ingredients - fresh seafood. The photos of the presentation are outstanding.

The Bahamas are so yesterday for destination island weddings. The Turks and Caicos is where it's at...if you want a spectacular and memorable island wedding. What a destination!

As a reference for all of my friends - this is the Turks and Caicos Wedding Resort that we are using:

More to come....

  1. It's not TRUE. I always thought that you would find a great place for a beach wedding in the Caribbean. I just thought that you'd have to taste test each option until you were so preggers that you'd have to do something! Arriving for ceremoney by boat or crawling out of sea in scuba gear???
    Yes, we know. Bye hon.

  2. You know it babe! Oh we should plan on going out early and scuba diving. I hear the scuba diving is better in Turks and Caicos than diving in Bahama's.

    I'll look into it I bet we can do it right from the resort as it's on the beach - Grace Bay.

    I'm looking into all of the fun things to do on the Island that will keep people occupied.

  3. I can not believe you are getting married! Finally!!!!! And just like we all would expect – an island wedding. Turks and Caicos I would have not guessed though. (here comes the “cheap shot”)—I mean girlfriend, you are quite “thrifty” is putting it in nice terms. My assumption would be that Turks and Caicos is not an affordable island. You think of stars…glamour…posh surroundings...when you think of Turks and Caicos Island - and you are telling me you can get that type of luxury affordably – for an island wedding? Good going girlfriend!!! And, Congrats!!! Turks and Caicos here I come!

  4. Hi My name is Chiara, I'm currently trying to find the right resort for our wedding in Turks. My fiance and I have been to Turks many times and absolutely love it there. Just wondering if your wedding was everything you wanted it to be? And if you would would recommend Somerset Resort?
