Grenada is the Caribbean's "Spice Isle," a lush southern-Caribbean island famous for nutmeg-scented breezes, powder-white Grand Anse Beach, and dramatic volcanic mountains just inland. The wedding scene punches above its weight for a small island, with a mix of adults-only luxury, family-friendly all-inclusive, and boutique-hideaway resorts.

Nevis is one of the Caribbean's most under-the-radar wedding destinations. The 36-square-mile island in the Leeward Islands has a single volcanic peak, four miles of soft-sand beach along Pinney's, and a population of just 11,000 residents, all of which give weddings here a sense of privacy that's harder to find on busier islands.

St. Kitts pairs some of the Caribbean's most polished newer luxury infrastructure with dependable brand-name resorts and boutique waterfront properties. The southeast peninsula's Christophe Harbour development sits alongside classic Frigate Bay resort culture, giving couples real range at every price point.

Trinidad and Tobago is the southernmost twin-island republic in the Caribbean, sitting safely below the Atlantic hurricane belt. Tobago's white-sand beaches and Buccoo Reef anchor the wedding scene, with Trinidad adding city energy, world-famous Carnival culture, and steelpan music to a possible wedding-week itinerary.

St. Croix is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, a 28-mile stretch of protected Caribbean coastline where couples can plan a legally-binding wedding without a passport. Historic Danish colonial architecture, world-class Buck Island snorkeling, and a quieter pace than St. Thomas make it a compelling destination wedding pick.
-
St. John is the smallest and quietest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, with two-thirds of the island preserved as national park. World-famous beaches like Trunk Bay and Cinnamon Bay, protected snorkeling reefs, and an unusually low-density island character give weddings here a national-park feel that's unique in the Caribbean.
-
St. Thomas is the most connected and full-service of the three U.S. Virgin Islands, with a mix of luxury flagships, mid-range beach resorts, and Charlotte Amalie's historic harbor at the center of the wedding scene. Magens Bay's iconic curve of white sand and no-passport-needed access make it a compelling Caribbean destination wedding pick.

The Big Island of Hawaii is a wedding destination that doesn't look like anywhere else in the U.S. Black lava flows meet white-sand beaches, active volcanoes tower behind resort corridors, and the Kona and Kohala coasts host some of the most iconic luxury wedding properties in the Pacific.
-
Kauai is Hawaii's "Garden Isle," the oldest, greenest, and most cinematic of the main Hawaiian islands. The Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, and lush north-shore rainforests give Kauai weddings a sense of scale and drama no other island can match.
-
Lana'i is the most secluded of the main Hawaiian islands, a 141-square-mile private-island escape with just 3,000 residents and a resort scene made up entirely of two ultra-luxury Four Seasons properties. This is where couples come when they want a wedding that feels like it's happening at the edge of the world.
