Barbados Climate

The sun shining down on a warm, tropical day is what many dream of for their wedding day. Barbados will gladly fulfill this dream, especially during its “dry season,” which is from December to May, offering clear skies and plenty of sunshine. This is especially convenient for couples who are planning to get married during the cold weather months in the United States, making it a perfect winter escape for you and your guests!

Things to Do in Barbados

If great tourism opportunities are a factor in deciding on your wedding destination, you won’t be disappointed by the limitless possibilities in Barbados. Whether you and your guests are craving adventure, culture, or relaxation, the island offers something for everyone. The island is full of unique and exciting attractions, and the small size of the island makes it possible to get anywhere without investing significant time in traveling.

Discover Paradise at Hunte’s Gardens

Hunte’s Gardens is one of the most unique tourism attractions you’ll find anywhere. This “pocket of paradise” is located in the Barbados rain forest. The awe-inspiring garden designed by Anthony Hunte has been built into a gully resembling a sink hole. Its beauty can only be experienced to be fully understood, but visitors of all types, including garden enthusiasts, leave amazed by the incredible experience.

Swim With the Turtles at Carlisle Bay

Carlisle Bay is among the most popular places to visit in Barbados. Located on the southwest side of the island, Carlisle Bay spans across Pebbles Beach, Bayshore Beach, and Brownes Beach, and is known as an incredible place to see and swim with sea turtles. Tour companies will take you on a boat cruise and snorkel trip so you can commune with the amazing creatures in their habitat.

Experience History at St. Nicholas Abbey

Newlyweds interested in experiencing Barbados history, culture, and architecture will want to make a trip to St. Nicholas Abbey. Guided tours, moonlight dinners, and rum tastings are all available at this beautiful, historic plantation. It’s a great option for a newly married couple!

Savor the Flavors: Culinary Delights

A destination wedding isn’t just about the ceremony — it’s about immersing yourselves and your guests in an unforgettable experience. In Barbados, that means indulging in world-renowned cuisine that combines fresh seafood, tropical fruits, and rich spices influenced by African, Indian, and British traditions.

For your wedding reception, work with local wedding planners to craft a custom menu featuring authentic Bajan dishes like flying fish and cou-cou, macaroni pie, and spicy pepperpot stew. Pair these delights with locally distilled rum cocktails and freshly caught seafood grilled to perfection.

Marriage License & Legal Requirements in Barbados

Getting legally married in Barbados is simple and stress-free — no residency required! Here’s what you need to know:

What You’ll Need:

  • Valid passports
  • Original or certified copies of birth certificates
  • If applicable: divorce decree absolute or death certificate of previous spouse
  • Completed marriage license application form
  • Two witnesses (can be guests or provided by the venue)

How It Works:

Your wedding planner or resort coordinator can assist with setting an appointment at the Ministry of Home Affairs in Bridgetown. The marriage license can typically be obtained within a day or two.

Fees:

Expect to pay approximately $100–$250 USD for the license and required stamps.
Barbados recognizes both civil and religious ceremonies, and your marriage will be legally binding internationally.

When is the best time to get married in Barbados?

The dry season from December to May offers the best weather — sunny skies, warm temperatures, and low humidity. It’s also ideal if you’re planning to escape cold U.S. winters.

Can we have a symbolic ceremony instead of a legal one?

Yes! Many couples choose to handle the legal paperwork at home and enjoy a stress-free symbolic ceremony in Barbados. It’s just as meaningful and often more flexible.

How far in advance should we plan our destination wedding?

We recommend beginning the planning process 12–18 months in advance to secure your preferred date, venue, and group travel rates. However, we can work with shorter timelines too.

Can our guests book their own travel?

Absolutely. We can coordinate individual or group bookings, but guests are welcome to make their own arrangements. We’ll still keep everything organized for your big day.

Are destination weddings more affordable than traditional weddings?

Often, yes. With all-inclusive packages, fewer guests, and built-in honeymoon vibes, many couples find they save money — and stress — by going the destination route.
