Getting married in Trinidad and Tobago

Why not tie the knot beneath a cascading Caribbean waterfall?

Why get married in Trinidad?

Trinidad and Tobago give you the best of both worlds. Almost all of Trinidad's hotels and restaurants lie in the foothills around the Port of Spain, while just an hour away is a primeval rain forest, teeming with wildlife. Tobago is still largely unspoilt and where Trinidad beats to the sounds and rhythms of steel drums, Tobago offers the more restrained sounds of the jungle and countryside, and a quietly relaxing lifestyle to match.

What kind of wedding ceremony can I have in Trinidad?

Wedding venues in Trinidad and Tobago include rustic gazebos and beautiful gardens. You can tie the knot within the stunning rain forest or beneath a dramatic waterfall. You can even have your ceremony on board a boat or, for something different, on horse back -- and, of course, in a church.
