Vows in a gazebo at the tip of its own point, with room for families of every age.
The Setting
Blue Waters sits on Antigua's north-west coast at Soldier's Bay, about 15 minutes from St John's and roughly 4 miles from V.C. Bird International Airport. It spreads across 17 acres of gardens with three small beach coves and several freshwater pools, one of them for adults only.
Rooms run from deluxe beachfront rooms and hillside suites to The Cove suites and penthouse, plus separate villas and cottages such as Pelican House. Children of all ages are welcome, and an all-inclusive plan can be added to cover the whole stay.
The day itself
The classic spot for vows is the wedding gazebo at the tip of Blue Waters Point, with the sea all around. A beach ceremony under a flower arch is the other choice, and the Cove restaurant can host ceremony and reception.
A state-appointed marriage officer performs the ceremony, after one working day on the island, Monday to Saturday, and guests staying elsewhere can join with a wedding guest pass. The venue tells us it hosts weddings of 30 to 250 guests. Of the four packages, the simplest covers the licence fee, officiant, registry transport and a dressed gazebo, and the largest includes a Champagne reception and gazebo dinner for six guests. Ask the team about the music curfew.
Where your guests stay
Accommodation suits every budget in a wedding party, from beachfront rooms to private villas, and children of all ages are welcome. Ask the team about room blocks for larger groups.
Guests have four bars and lounges, several restaurants including Bartleys, the Spa at Blue Waters with ila treatments, tennis, a gym and yoga on The Point, water sports and sunset cruises. The airport is about 4 miles away, 15 to 20 minutes by road, and St John's is around 15 minutes for shopping.
Book the gazebo for a late-afternoon ceremony and have drinks out on The Point straight after. Guests stay on the headland with the sea around them while the light softens.
