Weddings and Honeymoons

---

Getting married in Saint Lucia is surprisingly simple, and that’s one of the biggest reasons couples choose Coconut Bay Beach Resort & Spa for destination weddings. The resort specializes in stress-free wedding planning, offering dedicated wedding coordinators, customizable packages, beachfront ceremonies, and all-inclusive options that make planning from the U.S. easy and affordable. 

One of the biggest advantages is how easy the legal process is in Saint Lucia compared to many Caribbean islands. There is no residency requirement, meaning couples can arrive and legally marry within days. Coconut Bay’s wedding team helps guide couples through the entire documentation process before arrival, making it ideal for couples who want a beautiful tropical wedding without complicated paperwork. 

To legally marry at Coconut Bay, couples typically need:

• Valid passports 
• Certified original birth certificates 
• Divorce decree (if previously divorced) 
• Death certificate (if widowed) 
• Legal name change documents if applicable 
• Notarized parental consent if under 18 

If documents are not in English, certified translations are required. Couples are asked to send copies of documents to the resort before arrival and bring originals with them. 

Coconut Bay states that standard marriage licenses take approximately 72 working hours to process after arrival. Couples wanting a faster turnaround can pay for expedited processing. Saint Lucia tourism officials also note there is no residency period and same-day applications may be possible depending on processing speed and fees. 

One reason destination weddings at Coconut Bay are appealing is that couples can choose from simple intimate ceremonies or larger luxury celebrations.

Typical government and license fees include:

• Approximately US$495 for government document and marriage license fees through Coconut Bay wedding packages 
• Additional expedited/rush processing fees may apply if faster licensing is needed  

Wedding packages range from complimentary/basic ceremonies to luxury catamaran weddings:

• Some packages are FREE with qualifying resort stays 
• Premium wedding packages can range from a few thousand dollars depending on guests, décor, photography, receptions, and excursions 
• The Sapphire Package includes a private catamaran ceremony near the Pitons and starts around $4,999 for up to 8 guests  

The resort also offers extras like spa treatments, champagne breakfasts, private dinners, catamaran cruises, photography packages, and honeymoon perks.
