Carib Wedding: an idea inspired by our wedding in the Caribbean

Our Story


The idea behind Carib Wedding was born from a unique moment in our lives: the moment we decided to get married. A wedding that wouldn’t take place just anywhere, but in one of the places that makes our hearts beat faster: the Caribbean.


We are a couple from two different cultures. He, born in Martinique, grew up surrounded by the beauty of the islands and the warm atmosphere that characterizes them. Even when he left for his studies, he knew it was just a temporary chapter before returning to live in the region that shaped him. She, on the other hand, grew up in Auvergne, surrounded by mountains and nature. A passionate traveler, she discovered the Caribbean through her journeys. Between the beauty of the landscapes and the man who introduced her to this culture, it was clear: it was here, in the heart of these islands, that we wanted to build our future together.


Today, we split our lives between Saint Martin and Martinique. This mix of origins and discoveries has shaped our project—to make organizing a wedding in the Caribbean more accessible, smoother, and above all, more authentic.


Why marry in the Caribbean?


For us, the answer was obvious: the Caribbean is a place where natural beauty, a festive atmosphere, and warmth come together. We chose to marry here because of everything this region represents: diversity, friendliness, and the magic that emanates from each island.

We also wanted to share this universe with our loved ones (yes, almost half of our family will cross the Atlantic to join us).

For the other half of the family, who live here, it's an opportunity to remember just how beautiful the places we live in are. We’re often captivated by the distant islands we see on social media, but all it takes is a glance around to realize that our own islands are just as extraordinary.


That said, planning a wedding can quickly turn into a headache. Between finding the right vendors, handling the unexpected, and navigating the specifics of each island, the organization can become a real challenge. That’s when our idea emerged: to simplify the lives of future brides and grooms by providing advice, information, and reliable contacts.

Launching our blog: our vision for wedding planning in the islands


To kick off this adventure, we decided to create a blog. It’s here that we’ll share our experiences, practical tips, and the latest trends in Caribbean weddings. We want this blog to become a true resource for anyone considering saying "I do" amidst the Caribbean landscapes.


In the coming months, we’ll talk about different wedding venues, the unique features of each island, as well as little tricks for making your wedding here a success: choosing the right vendors, organizing the logistics of travel for a destination wedding, and even how to integrate local traditions into your ceremony. Our goal is simple: to help you make this moment an unforgettable experience.


Our first steps


Our project starts small but with big ambitions. We’re kicking off with the islands that are dear to us: Saint Martin/Sint Maarten, Saint Barthélemy, Guadeloupe, and Martinique. These destinations, where we have roots or strong connections, are our first playgrounds to offer services and recommendations tailored to future couples.


Saint Martin/Sint Maarten, with its stunning beaches and sunny climate, is the perfect setting for a memorable ceremony. The island blends intimate and refined atmospheres with a more festive vibe, offering a variety of options, from quiet beach ceremonies to lively receptions by the sea. Saint Barthélemy, on the other hand, embodies luxury and sophistication, with breathtaking landscapes and a private atmosphere. Guadeloupe and Martinique are perfect for those looking for authenticity and tropical landscapes. Guadeloupe, with its waterfalls and lush vegetation, offers an impressive natural backdrop for a charming ceremony. Martinique entices with its unspoiled beaches and its ambiance, perfect for both an intimate and festive celebration.


Each island has its own unique features and advantages, and we can’t wait to guide you through these choices.


From personalized support to a complete website


In the near future, our website will offer much more than advice and information: we’ll showcase a selection of local vendors, from photographers and florists to wedding planners, caterers, and even transport services. The idea is to make your life easier and save you time by providing everything you need to organize your dream wedding in the Caribbean.


But for now, our blog is the first stone in this building. Above all, we want to create a community, a true resource for those dreaming of getting married on a Caribbean island. As we continue with our articles, we’ll highlight helpful tips, great addresses, and even testimonies from couples who have lived this unique adventure.

What we want to offer future brides and grooms is the opportunity to have a wedding that reflects who they are, in a setting that’s nothing short of magical.


Whether you're looking for an intimate beach ceremony or a grand festive reception, whether you want to organize a wedding at home or a destination wedding, our blog and website are here to support you, guide you, and above all, help you turn this moment into an unforgettable memory.
