TURKS AND CAICOS WEDDINGS ON ISLANDS IN THE CARIBBEAN SEA

More than forty islands and cays make up the Turks and Caicos. These coral-white specks of sand shimmer in the transparent onyx waters of the Caribbean. The best part of all is that only eight of these islands are inhabited. The rest offer newlyweds romantic solitude and a chance to view the natural beauty of the Caribbean up close.

Providenciales, or Provo, is most familiar to visitors and tourists. Provo is home to many luxury resorts, as well as the main airport that connects the Caribbean territory turks and caicos hotel with major cities in the US, Canada and Europe. While Provo is a destination in and of itself, it also serves as a jumping-off point for the myriad islands scattered in an arc of the Lesser Antilles. Many of the resort hotels here provide full services for weddings.

Salt Cay is a popular destination. Recommended as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the cay is a great place to observe migrating humpback whales and go bird watching. Offshore, numerous shipwrecks and an underwater "wall" await snorkelers and scuba divers. It is, of course, the perfect spot for a private wedding.

While the islands enjoy a generally dry climate, North Caicos is known for its rainfall. The result is lush greenery and exotic wildlife. Separated from Provo by just a few kilometers, North Caicos offers a more relaxed pace, as well as the usual beautiful sandy beaches and historic ruins that provide the location for a Caribbean wedding.

If you want to get a taste of local seafood, South Caicos is the place to go. Lobster, conch, and barracuda are the main exports from this island, and while the fishing industry is the main employer the area still features many colonial-era narrow streets and heritage buildings, as well as a sailing regatta held each May. There is frequent ferry and air service to this island, which makes wedding planning quite easy.

Middle Caicos is the biggest of the islands in the Turks and Caicos chain, and is home to less than three hundred people living in three small villages: Conch Bar, Bambarra and Lorimers. The island is built on a series of limestone caves, and while there are plenty of white-sand beaches, there turks and caicos hotel is also a rugged coastline of steep limestone cliffs. Farmland gives way to a network of marshes that is perfect for viewing Frigate birds. Preserved colonial plantations make a perfect backdrop for your wedding.
