Beachfront weddings a specialty.

With a track record of arranging nearly 300 ceremonies a year, Aruba Weddings For You works directly with the Divi Resort. They offer several packages. Choose the cake, flowers, color scheme, and decorations – even hairstyles – that appeal from photographs. Or send along a snapshot of what you want and they will accommodate.

All traditional details from buying a ring to renting a tux (brides are advised to bring their own dress) are available. For a non-traditional touch, arrive on a Harley or on horseback.

Take your vows in a restaurant, by the pool, on the golf course, or on the beach at sunset. As for ceremony amenities, options include a palm-fringed aisle, candle walk, the red carpet, a decorated arch, and cloth-covered chairs.

As part of your ceremony, engage in the symbolic ritual of throwing stones into the sea with good-luck words written on them. Or pour two colors of sand that can never be separated into a keepsake jar.

Live Webcasts enable friends and family at home to watch your wedding over the Internet.

Many people who get married in Aruba like it so much they do it again for their anniversary. Regardless of where you wed, vow renewal ceremonies are popular here, with the one-year renewals the most requested.
