Few places feel as intimate and exotic as Grenada when you’re planning a destination wedding. Hidden coves, fragrant spice gardens, and powdery white-sand beaches give this “Spice Isle” a special kind of romance. Best of all, Grenada is compact: travel between top venues is short, logistics are easier, and guests get a true island escape without the chaos of a mega-resort destination. Below you’ll find everything you need to know, from legal steps and weather to the five best venues, sample package types and perks, things to do with guests, and how a Luxury Vacations Consulting service can make the whole process effortless.
Why choose Grenada for your wedding?
First, the scenery is cinematic. Think dramatic shoreline cliffs, palm-lined beaches, and turquoise water framed by green hills. Second, Grenada’s resorts and boutique estates specialize in weddings, so you’ll find experienced on-island coordinators and well-tested vendor networks. Third, travel is straightforward for many guests direct and one-stop flights from major hubs — and the island’s size reduces transit stress for your event weekend. For couples seeking privacy, luxury, or an authentic Caribbean vibe, Grenada hits the sweet spot between boutique charm and upscale service.
What you need to know before booking
- Legal requirements: Many couples choose to have a symbolic ceremony abroad and do the legal paperwork at home. If you want your marriage to be legally recognized in Grenada, speak with your resort’s wedding coordinator early they’ll outline the documents and timing required. Resorts commonly assist with the registry and paperwork.
- Best time to go: The ideal window is the dry season generally December through April when you’ll get the sunniest, most reliable weather. However, shoulder months can offer lower rates and fewer crowds.
- Budget expectations: Grenada can suit many budgets. From intimate packages under $5,000 to luxury affairs that run higher depending on guest count and add-ons, you’ll find options across the spectrum. All-inclusive resorts often bundle many services, making costs more predictable.
- Guest travel & accommodation: Choose a venue with comfortable on-site or nearby lodging. Short airport transfers and multiple room categories (from suites to private villas) make things easier for guests and you.
Top 5 places to have a Grenada destination wedding
Below are five standout venues, each with a distinct personality. I’ve included what makes each special and which couple they suit best.
1. Spice Island Beach Resort (Grand Anse Beach)
An icon for luxury and romance on Grand Anse Beach, Spice Island is intimate, high-touch, and deeply experienced with weddings. They offer beach and garden gazebo ceremonies, private dinners, floral décor, and help with legal documentation. Perfect for couples who want a classic, elegant beachfront celebration with personal service.
2. Silversands Grenada (Grand Anse)
Silversands is a modern, design-forward luxury resort with dramatic beachfront spaces and polished service. Their bespoke “I Do” packages and multiple venue options (beachfront terraces, private lawns) make it ideal for upscale, contemporary weddings. Suits couples who want a sleek, stylish wedding with a resort’s full amenities.
3. Sandals Grenada
If you want an adults-only, full-service wedding where many elements are included (meals, drinks, onsite planner), Sandals is a reliable option. They provide on-site planners, a variety of ceremony venues, and streamlined packages that help simplify guest logistics. Ideal for couples wanting an all-inclusive experience and a party-focused weekend.
4. Mount Cinnamon Beach & Wellness Resort
A smaller, boutique resort with a relaxed, creative vibe. Mount Cinnamon mixes cliffside and beach settings, plus wellness options that appeal to couples focused on guest experience and authenticity. Great for more casual, personalized ceremonies.
5. Mount Hartman Bay Estate
For privacy and dramatic tropical landscapes, Mount Hartman (and other estate-style properties) offers villa buyouts and large private grounds. These venues are excellent for multi-day celebrations, allowing you to design a custom experience with total privacy and flexibility.
Typical wedding packages & what they include
Packages vary widely, but most Grenada wedding packages include some or all of the following items:
- Ceremony set-up (arch/gazebo, aisle, seating)
- Officiant or civil registry assistance (for legal weddings)
- Bouquet and boutonnière for the couple
- Small wedding cake and champagne toast
- Photographer (sometimes included, often available as an add-on)
- On-site wedding coordinator and day-of staff
- Private dinner or reception spaces for small groups or buyout options for larger celebrations
All-inclusive resorts (like Sandals) often roll many of these into one price, while boutique resorts (Silversands, Spice Island) and private estates let you mix and match vendors for bespoke touches. For sample price ranges: budget-friendly packages can start under $5,000 for intimate ceremonies, while comprehensive luxury packages — especially with significant guest lists, floral design, premium photography, and private receptions — will be higher.
Perks of getting married in Grenada

- Natural backdrops: Beaches, rainforests, waterfalls, and spice gardens offer diverse photo backdrops without long travel.

- Great food and spice culture: Grenada’s culinary scene — rich with nutmeg, cinnamon, and local seafood — is an asset for menus and cocktail design.
