If you’re planning a destination wedding in the Caribbean there’s a new resource available for you. Conde Nast Brides, Modern Bride, Brides.com and Caribbean Tourism Development Company have come together to provide a site called “Passport to the Caribbean,” a one-stop-shop for information on having a destination wedding in the Caribbean. On the site you can find out passport information, contact information to find out marriage requirements, and there’s information and links to help plan your trip.
This site, hosted by Brides.com, is also running a couple of contests. The first one going on now is the “Capital Wedding” contest. You can win a wedding in Washington DC and a honeymoon in the Caribbean. This summer they will be running the “Sparkle in the Sand Engagement Contest” where you can win a trip to the Caribbean to get engaged on the beach.
Here’s some destination wedding statistics from Conde Nast’s “American Wedding” Study 2006 that you might find interesting:
— 16% of couples have a destination wedding which is a 400% increase in the last 10 years
— average number of guests for destination wedding is 47 vs. avg # of 165 for a non-destination wedding
— 25% of destination wedding couples honeymoon in the same location they were married
Are you having a destination wedding in the Caribbean or anywhere else? What is the most difficult part of planning your destination wedding?

I checked out that ‘Passport to the Caribbean’ website on your recommendation and was disappointed to see it is definitely not the ‘one-stop shop’ it’s purported to be - more like a list of preferred vendors and advertisers. If you’re into contests it’s ok but otherwise, there’s no useful info there besides passport requirements, which you can find in so many other places.
Hi Miss Purple. I agree. The site is pretty weak. I thought the folks at brides.com would strengthen it up a bit over time but, not much going on there!
Are you planning a destination wedding to the Caribbean? How far into the planning are you? If you still need help, you might want to check out my two recent posts about Romance Travel Concierge. I ran into them at a recent wedding show. They seem pretty impressive, but they aren’t cheap either.
Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks Rhonda, I’ll check it out. Yes, I’m planning my wedding in the Dominican Republic; we just confirmed our travel dates so now it’s a reality (!). You can follow along at http://purplewedding.wordpress.com.
Great blog! I’ll be following along.
