Weddings at Caneel Bay are generally held on grassy Turtle Bay Point, which overlooks Turtle Bay Beach. The reception and rehearsal dinner can be held at any of the resort’s restaurants or in the sugar mill ruins.

The resort’s staff works with local photographers, videographers, florists, and entertainers to create customized events. Bouquets can feature tropical or traditional flowers, and the musicians can play any type of music from classical to calypso-reggae.

Wedding cakes, created on-site, may be white, hazelnut, red velvet, lemon, rich chocolate, yellow, or coconut, with fillings ranging from cappuccino mousse to chocolate Caribe, flavored with mangoes, papayas, and rum.

Couples looking for a simple affair can opt for the resort’s Casual Elegance Wedding Package, which includes arrangements and fee for officiant, bridal bouquet and boutonniere, champagne or wine, a 6” one-tier wedding cake, Turtle Bay Point location fee, and site coordination.

A three-night minimum stay is required for wedding couples.
