The British Virgin Islands is a chain of 60-plus small islands scattered across some of the calmest, clearest water in the Caribbean. World-class sailing, the iconic granite boulders of The Baths, and a low-density island lifestyle make it one of the region’s most distinctive destination wedding spots.
Anguilla is one of the Caribbean’s best-kept secrets: 33 beaches spread across just 35 square miles, a shade of powdery white sand that makes visitors do a double-take on their first glimpse, and a boutique-luxury resort scene that draws couples wanting privacy, world-class dining, and low-key hospitality.

A destination wedding in Central America opens up something the Caribbean can’t quite match: Pacific-coast volcanic landscapes, rainforest-meets-beach scenery, the Panama Canal as a wedding-week conversation piece, and Costa Rica’s pura vida pace woven through the resort experience. For couples wanting a destination wedding that doesn’t look like everyone else’s Caribbean photo album, the under-$3,000…
