Saint Lucia Wedding Packages and Fixed Prices Compared

How to read these prices

Prices below are the figures the resorts or their UK agents published, seen in October 2026. They were published in US dollars and are shown here in pounds. Several resorts do not publish prices at all, and some packages exclude VAT, service charges, government fees or extra guests. Always ask for a written quote. Prices change with the season and the exchange rate, so ask the resort or your travel agent to confirm the current figure in writing before you pay a deposit.

The cheapest ways to marry

Two routes cost very little. The first is a free wedding with a qualifying stay. Sandals offers a free Classic Wedding on seven nights or more in a club or butler room, and Coconut Bay offers a free Silver wedding for up to four people on seven nights. You still pay government and officiant fees, which are £295^note at Sandals and £370^note at Coconut Bay.

The second is a small paid package. Coconut Bay's Silver package is £595^note without the stay requirement.

What is usually extra

Photography and video are often extra. At Ladera, photography runs from £280^note for 40 images to £895^note for all images, and video from £300^note to £555^note. Reception food and bar costs, additional guests, hair and make-up, transport for guests, weekend surcharges and taxes can all add up. Saint Lucia VAT and service charges are added at Coconut Bay.

Which package suits which couple

For a couple who want to spend little and travel for seven nights, a free Sandals or Coconut Bay wedding is the best value. For a ceremony in a spectacular setting and no guests, Jade Mountain and Ladera are worth the price. For a mid-sized party with a reception, Coconut Bay's Gold and Platinum packages are the clearest on what you get. For a large group, ask Cap Maison about its buy-out.

What is the cheapest way to get married in Saint Lucia?

The cheapest way to get married in Saint Lucia is usually a free wedding offered with a qualifying stay at an all-inclusive resort such as Sandals or Coconut Bay, where you pay only the government and officiant fees and the cost of the holiday itself. The offers depend on the length of stay, the room category and the day of the week, so read the conditions carefully. Weekday ceremonies are normally the ones that qualify, and weekends may carry a surcharge that is not waived, so ask which days are available for your dates. Booking early gives you the widest choice of weekdays, and a flexible arrival date can make the difference between a free offer and a paid one.

The wedding is only one part of the cost. Flights, accommodation and food make up most of the bill, so a free wedding is best seen as a bonus for couples who were already planning a week or more at the resort. If you want a larger celebration with a reception, music and photography, expect to pay for upgrades. The Sandals Grande St. Lucian wedding page and the Coconut Bay wedding page set out the terms, and are worth reading side by side. Note the length of stay, the room category, the fees and the days of the week for each, and ask your agent to confirm whether the offer is still running on your dates.

A second route is a small paid package at a boutique resort. These cost more than a free offer but include set items such as flowers, a cake, a photographer or a private dinner, which can make a short stay feel special. Compare what is included, not only the headline price, and ask for the quote in writing so that you can check it against other resorts. A package that looks expensive may be good value if it replaces several separate bookings that you would otherwise have to make. Check the inclusions line by line, and ask whether the flowers, cake and photography can be changed to suit your taste rather than accepted as a fixed set.

What costs extra on top of a Saint Lucia wedding package?

On top of a Saint Lucia wedding package, expect to pay extra for photography and video, additional guests, reception food and drink, hair and make-up, guest transport, weekend ceremonies, taxes and service charges, depending on the resort and the package. Not every package lists these items, so ask for a written breakdown. The most common surprises are guest numbers and photography, which can add a large share to the final bill if you are not careful, so decide your priorities before you ask for quotes. Knowing how many guests you want, whether you need a reception and how much photography matters will make every comparison simpler and more honest. Share the same brief with every resort.

Currency also affects the cost. Many resorts publish prices in US dollars, while UK agents quote holidays in pounds, so check which currency applies and whether the exchange rate is fixed. Our money and tipping guide explains how money works on the island. It is sensible to leave a margin in your budget for small extras and tips, and to ask whether card payments carry a fee. A clear picture of the currency removes one of the most common sources of disagreement later. Keep every receipt and agreement in one place, and note the date of each exchange so that any difference can be resolved quickly and politely. Photographs of agreements are useful.

Timing matters too. A peak-season date may carry a higher price than the same package in a quieter month, and some resorts have blackout dates. Read best time to visit to weigh weather against cost. At Ladera, for example, photography and video are priced separately from the package, which shows why you should always compare like with like. If you can be flexible by a week or two, ask each resort which dates give the best value. Resorts can often say which weeks are quietest, and a quieter week may bring better availability for the ceremony slot and the photographer you prefer. Weekday dates in the shoulder months are often the easiest to arrange, and they can also reduce the cost of rooms and flights for your guests.

How do you compare wedding packages in Saint Lucia fairly?

To compare wedding packages in Saint Lucia fairly, list what each one includes, the number of guests, the legal fees, the ceremony location, the photography and the length of stay required, then ask each resort for a written quote that covers the same items. A cheap package that excludes photography and the licence may cost more than a dearer one that includes both. Use a simple table for your own use and update it as quotes arrive, so that the differences become obvious at a glance. Add a column for the total cost including flights, transfers and extras, because that figure is the one that really decides what you can afford.

Consider the setting as part of the value. A ceremony above the Pitons at Jade Mountain is a different product from a beach ceremony at a large resort, and a clifftop gazebo at Cap Maison is different again. The right choice depends on your guests, your priorities and your budget, and no single package is best for everyone. Ask yourselves what you will remember in ten years' time, and let that guide where the money goes. Many couples spend more on the setting and the photographs and less on decoration, because those are the things they look at for years afterwards. Ask the resort which parts of a package can be swapped, and whether a smaller guest list could release budget for a better photographer or a private dinner.

Finally, check the legal side so that no surprises arise. Our marriage requirements guide explains the documents and fees, and Sandals Regency La Toc shows how a free offer can come with credits and conditions. Take your time, ask questions, and book only when you are sure the written terms match what you were told. If something is unclear, ask the resort to put the answer in an email, and keep it with your other documents. Review the file together before you pay, and again a month before you travel, so that both of you know exactly what has been agreed. If anything has changed since your first email, ask the resort to confirm the new terms in writing before you rely on them, and update your own budget at once.
