Turks and Caicos weddings can be the stuff that dreams are made of. This British island territory in the Caribbean boasts some of the world's best beaches, thus catering to anyone who wishes to enjoy a beach wedding, and competent wedding planners are available in good supply to make sure that everything goes according to plan. Add the amazingly inviting year-round weather, the list of fun things to do, and the divinely tranquil nature of these islands, makes it clear that a Turks and Caicos wedding can be a most unforgettable affair. Better yet, the honeymoon can begin as soon as the main ceremony and the reception are over. This is one of the things that help to make destination weddings so popular in general.

Turks and Caicos weddings are relatively easy to arrange, though there are some things that you will need to know before you begin the planning process. For starters, anyone who wishes to tie the knot in this island paradise will have to spend at least 72 hours in the archipelago before they can apply for a Turks and Caicos marriage license. Once that time period is satisfied, you can apply for a license through the Registrar General for Special Licenses. There is a fee to apply for a Turks and Caicos marriage license, and once the application has been granted, you can have your ceremony. A Marriage Officer is needed to apply for a marriage license, and these officers usually come in the form of ministers and pastors.

During the Turks and Caicos marriage license application process, couples will need to furnish specific documents. These documents include birth certificates, passports, and proof of marital status. Your wedding planner, whether they work alone or are associated with a hotel, can help you during the application process, so you don't have to go it alone. The luxury resorts in the TCI offer some of the best wedding planners, and as such, many couples turn to these resorts when trying to get things sorted out.

Getting married at an upscale resort is what a lot of couples have in mind for their Turks and Caicos weddings. On famed Grace Bay Beach, many luxury resorts offer great wedding packages, and you can always escape to a private island retreat like Parrot Cay when looking to tie the knot. The Parrot Cay Resort specializes in smaller wedding ceremonies, which celebrities have been known to arrange. Various beachfront sites and venues are available for those who wish to get married at the Parrot Cay Resort, and you can also secure one of the privately owned homes that are found away from the main resort and hold your wedding there.

If you want to arrange your wedding through a hotel, you don't have to limit yourself to upscale resorts like the Regent Palms. Many of the more affordable hotels and resorts can also be great places to hold your ceremony and reception. They can also be great honeymoon bases. The Osprey Beach Hotel on the island of Grand Turk is just one example. This laid-back beach hotel specializes in relaxed beach weddings, and it can supply couples with an official for the main ceremony. Receptions are typically held by the pool, and the beach and ocean views are divine.

Couples are encouraged to consider all of the fantastic options when it comes to Turks and Caicos weddings. Wedding companies that aren't affiliated with the hotels and resorts can help you arrange everything, for example, and this has its advantages. You can choose your location, for starters. Maybe a wedding ceremony on a yacht will pique your interest, or perhaps you will fall in love with the idea of securing a TCI vacation rental and having your ceremony there. Immaculate villas and homes are available for rent in this amazing archipelago. Turks and Caicos all inclusive weddings are just one more option.

There are two all inclusive resorts in the Turks and Caicos, and they are understandably popular with couples who are planning TCI weddings. They are also popular with couples who are interested in Turks and Caicos honeymoon resorts. Once guests pay their upfront fees at the TCI all inclusive resorts, they can focus on having a good time. Everything from meals to activities will already be taken care of.
