So, he popped the question, you are officially engaged, and you've decided that a destination wedding is for you. It can be overwhelming picking the perfect beach location for your wedding, especially with the numerous destination options available. Below is a list of the top Caribbean destination wedding locations for your dream destination wedding which are perfect for large groups.

If you have a large wedding group, you will likely want to consider an easily accessible Caribbean island, as well as all-inclusive resort options. Jamaica, St. Lucia, Aruba, or the Dominican Republic are all excellent choices for large destination weddings.

Jamaica is known for its numerous all-inclusive resorts, such as Sandals, Beaches, and SuperClubs, which cater to large wedding groups. Jamaican wedding couples often get married at the resort, but there are also amazing villa options in Negril and Montego Bay that you can rent for a wedding ceremony. Or, if you prefer, a Jamaican beach can be the perfect natural setting for your Jamaican destination wedding. There are also many inexpensive flights to Jamaica for your wedding guests to choose from.

St. Lucia is a bit more difficult to reach, but also offers a number of amazing all-inclusive wedding resort options. St. Lucia is one of the most beautiful settings for a wedding because of its exotic landscape. With the Piton Mountains in the background, St. Lucia is often compared to Hawaii, specifically Kauai. If this sounds like your perfect Caribbean wedding location, then look into Sandals Grande St. Lucian and LeSport, which are two popular all-inclusive wedding resorts.

Aruba is an excellent choice for large weddings because it offers many resort options, but also exciting nightlife and thrilling daytime activities for your wedding guests. From casinos to waverunners, your destination wedding guests will never have a dull moment in Aruba. The Hyatt Aruba is a very popular choice for wedding couples, although the Divi Aruba is best if you want an all-inclusive option for your Aruba wedding. Aruba is also a great choice year-round, since it tends to have many direct flights from the U.S. and is typically south for the hurricane belt.

Finally, the Dominican Republic is quickly gaining popularity as the top destination wedding location in the Caribbean for large groups. Dominican Republic destination wedding couples love the many all-inclusive luxury hotel options, many which have on-site wedding planners and packages to simplify the wedding process. Iberostar Punta Cana and the Riu Bachata are great choices for your Dominican Republic wedding because they are all-inclusive resorts. So, your wedding guests can all stay and play together while they anticipate your dream beach wedding in the Caribbean!

Scouting trips are excellent excuses to spend some quality vacation time with your fianc and they can help you decide if this location is perfect for your wedding. You should consider visiting several resorts during your scouting trip, as well as meeting with wedding planners, caterers, bands, florists, and wedding officiants while you are there. During your trip, you can determine if a Jamaican wedding with a laid-back feel is perfect or a St. Lucian wedding incorporating the natural beauty of the island. Aruba is a bit of a long flight for some, so taking a trip to Aruba might really help you decide if your wedding guests and wedding party will be able to make the trip. Also, the Dominican Republic is growing quickly, but all the newness may not be part of your dream beach wedding.
