Your Wedding at Spring House

A Caribbean wedding is about much more than the few hours spent at the ceremony and reception. It is a wedding, vacation, honeymoon and family reunion all rolled into one. The biggest problem that most couples have when searching for a destination wedding villa is finding a quality place that is large enough to handle the needs of the entire wedding party, not just for the big day but for the entire vacation. Spring House, in beautiful Bequia, is the ideal location for your Caribbean wedding. Large enough to handle your whole group, luxurious enough to make your wedding special and perfect for your honeymoon or vacation.

We will help you plan the wedding or work with your own wedding coordinator. Whether you choose a beach wedding or hold the ceremony at Spring House, we offer affordable wedding packages which can be customized to your needs and will assist you with licensing, location preparation, photography, catering, flowers, music, and transportation.

Wedding Packages:

We offer two wedding packages that represent excellent value and are designed to be a starting point for planning purposes Most couples choose one of these packages and then add additional items such as live music according to their personal tastes and budget. If you have other ideas or a specific agenda then please let us know.

Photography:

We use a professional photographer, resident on Bequia, who produces excellent results at reasonable rates. He offers a variety of packages, including video, customizable to your wishes.

Music:

A variety of live and pre-recorded options are available. The pan (steel drum) player is our most popular and is excellent.

Wedding Cake:

Our wedding packages include a wedding cake, made by our own chef. If you would like a special, or more ornate, cake we will be happy to contract with a baker in St. Vincent on your behalf.

Flowers:

Spectacular tropical flowers are in abundance on these islands but there are no florist shops in the Grenadines. Flowers are purchased directly from growers or the botanical gardens. We use an experienced floral arranger to create your bouquets, displays and corsages.

Bridal Suite:

Your bridal suite will be appropriately decorated, as will the main areas of Spring House.

Catering:

There are two basic choices for your wedding banquet. We can cater the event at Spring House or, we can make arrangements at one of the many fine restaurants on Bequia.

Transportation:

Transportation options are fairly limited. There are no limousines on Bequia and the roads are too steep for horse drawn carriages. Please be modest in your expectations and we will do our best in traditional tropical wedding style. Water taxi to a beach wedding is a popular option.

Weather:

The weather in Bequia is generally excellent. That, after all, is one of the principal reasons that visitors come here. Most days are 82°F (28°C) with a light breeze. There are, however, times when we get a short-lived downpour or high winds. It may be necessary to adjust the venue from the beach or outdoors. Such is life in the tropics. We will do our best to minimize the disruption to your celebration but please remember that these events are not within our control.

Legal Requirements:

In order to get married in the country of St. Vincent & the Grenadines, both parties must be resident for 24 hours. This is far less than most destination wedding venues and allows the couple to get married at the start of their vacation followed by the honeymoon period rather than having an upside down wedding vacation as is so common elsewhere.

A Government Special License must be obtained ($200 fee) and a License Marriage Officer ($95 fee) must officiate at the ceremony. You will receive an Official Certificate of Marriage valid throughout the world.

Truth in Disclosure:

We are not full service or full time wedding coordinators and planners. Although our House Manager has over 25 years experience as a hotel manager and is a professionally trained gourmet chef, our primary focus is providing all the services of a luxury all inclusive resort villa to our discerning guests. Despite this, we successfully plan and host several weddings at Spring House each year and continue to do so to a satisfied clientele.

We cannot arrange for you to be married on top of the Soufriere volcano, on a private island in the Tobago Cays, or underwater wearing scuba gear. If your budget allows, such services are available through professional wedding coordinators and we will gladly work with your planner during your stay at Spring House to achieve your dream wedding.
