Ask the expert: Tying the knot in Turks & Caicos

By: Vivian Vassos

We’ve talked weddings in Jamaica and Costa Rica, and now our Ask the Expert series takes us to Turks & Caicos. Continuing the conversations from our Destination Wedding Guide, the team at Wymara Resort + Villas shares how to turn a wedding away into a holiday everyone can enjoy. From bringing your favourite people together over several days to deciding whether to book a pre-wedding visit, their advice covers the plans worth making before your toes touch the sand.

Tying the knot in Turks & Caicos 

Today’s Bride: What’s trending now in destination weddings? Are we seeing a shift to smaller, more intimate affairs?

Wymara: We’re seeing a growing interest in more intentional celebrations, where couples are focused on creating a meaningful experience for their guests rather than simply a single wedding day. The rehearsal dinner, surrounded by their closest family and friends, is becoming an increasingly important part of the celebration for couples. Multi-day celebrations are also becoming increasingly popular, with couples looking to make the most of their time in Turks & Caicos through thoughtfully curated itineraries that bring family and friends together across the entire stay. 

From welcome events and group activities to the wedding celebration and time to relax together, these curated experiences allow couples to create a celebration that feels personal and memorable from start to finish.

TB: How can couples create a more inclusive celebration and holiday for their guests?

Wymara: This goes back to the importance of working with a trusted local wedding team that knows the destination inside and out. Our experience and local expertise allow us to guide couples through every aspect of the planning process, from selecting the right venues and creating meaningful experiences for their guests to coordinating activities, transportation and all the logistics surrounding the wedding. Couples can rely on our knowledge, relationships and experience to make the planning process feel seamless, while ensuring their guests have a memorable and enjoyable experience from start to finish.

TB: Do you recommend couples visit the destination before the wedding?

Wymara: Absolutely, whenever possible. It gives couples the opportunity to see the venue, meet the team who will be with them on their wedding day, build a relationship with them and start magining how their celebration will come together in person.

Next up: Roatán. If your destination wedding wish list includes somewhere a little less obvious but every bit as breathtaking, this island off the coast of Honduras deserves a look. With lush hills, beautiful beaches and coral reefs just offshore, it offers plenty to tempt couples and their guests. The team at Kimpton Grand Roatán shares how to make it the setting for a destination wedding celebration that feels entirely your own.
