Observing necessary measures associated with weddings in 2020, these proposed locations allow you to practice social distancing while remaining intimate, romantic and giving yourself a day you will never forget. Antigua alone is home to over 300 beaches, and both islands have incredible weather year-round with spectacular views, perfect for your special day. Antigua and Barbuda are suitable for any budget and taste. It’s time to plan your dream day and a built-in vacation today.
Half Moon Bay
Stroll through the scenic natural areas of Half Moon Bay. The national park provides astonishing panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and one of the prettiest beaches in Antigua. This is where you could get married to someone you love and unite with the breathtaking beauty and power of nature. Exchange vows on this crescent-shaped bay with the vast seascape behind you as a soft tropical breeze kisses your cheek and rustles in the silk of your gown. A truly unique and remarkable way to start the rest of your lives together.
17-Mile Beach

A stunning pink landscape with pale aquamarine seas separates the Barbuda lagoon from the Caribbean Sea with delightful views. Are you looking for paradise as your wedding ‘venue’? Well, this is it. It is one of the most amazing beaches in the Caribbean and while here you’ll experience soft moonlit sand and moonbeams dancing across the water. This most romantic of beaches earned its practical name for one very pragmatic reason: the one thing you can be sure to see – miles and miles of perfect beach – 17 of them! 17-Mile Beach is uninterrupted solitude, so expect to have the place to yourself. Enter this secluded dreamscape and to escape with the one you love.
Barbuda’s Pink Beach

What says ‘romance’ more than pink sand and crystal waters? And what is more romantic than being on the beach with the one you love? Combine the answers to these two questions and you’ll get a beautiful wedding destination. The islands of Antigua and Barbuda are home to numerous legendary pink sand retreats. Barbuda’s Pink Beach is a perfect spot to celebrate your love, sharing a quiet moment as the sun hits the ocean and makes the pink sand dance with the colours of love. This beach is more secluded than others, frequently empty, and perfect for an intimate ceremony for you and your guests. Plan your vows for sunset and share your love surrounded by shimmering shades from coral to softest rose sparkling on the sand.
Great Bird Island
In various cultures birds are considered to be a symbol of peace and luck, which is why in North America doves are traditional during wedding ceremonies. Here on the Great Bird Island, you’ll be surrounded by countless winged peace symbols. The island earns its name from the first sailors who landed there and were struck by the number of birds that greeted them.
 
This space is filled with the energy of liberation, calm and freedom from the noisy and routine day-to-day living. The tiny islet just north of Antigua is considered a miniature paradise and will give you a truly magical experience on your special day. It’s a sentimental spot for a small intimate wedding, where your first days of marriage would begin.
Indian Town
Indian Town is a national park, with large numbers of rare plants and over 30 different species of birds. This park is a little piece of the island, where mother-nature decided to be as creative as possible, showcasing the full range of its exotic beauty. The limestone formations here provide a dramatic backdrop offering the perfect setting for your special day. If you are looking for something unique and more intimate, then this is it.
The Devil’s Bridge
The Devil’s Bridge, located in Indian Town National Park, may sound dark but it's actually a spectacular rock formation, associated with many amazing local legends. It is perhaps the most mysterious of the natural attraction on the islands. The natural arch was formed by the endless crashing of ocean waves and is guaranteed to leave an impression on everyone who discovers it. While here, you and your guests will be in awe of the breathtaking view, making it impossible to ignore the incredible power of nature and its elements. Experience the power of love and nature together and say I do here in this island haunt. If you’d like to have a small wedding with a sense of magic and the supernatural, it’s the place to go.
