Saint Lucia is known for its natural beauty and diverse attractions, including the signature Piton Mountains – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – a tropical rainforest and one of the world’s few drive-in volcanoes. Culturally rich offerings include the bustling marketplace in the capital of Castries, quaint fishing villages along the coastline, as well as a wide range of unique accommodations. For those thinking about a destination wedding, these are just some of the many reasons why Saint Lucia is a spectacular place to host your special day. In 2014, there were over 250 Canadian destination weddings on island. The topography of the destination lends itself to beautiful backdrops for the wedding ceremony, as well as photos. A variety of tours and attractions are also very appealing for the entire wedding group, as wedding parties are increasingly looking for things to do with their guests while on island. What makes Saint Lucia an ideal destination wedding location is the ease of getting a same day marriage license, allowing the couple to relax and enjoy time with their guests rather than worrying about the details. – Louis Lewis, Director of Tourism, Saint Lucia Tourist Board
