Imagine getting married in a perfect tropical paradise. In the distance, crystal blue waters span as far as the eyes can see.

The officiant announces your marriage and a kiss is shared under the warmth of the glittery, golden sun. It’s your wedding in Turks and Caicos.
Sound like a scene out of a dream? It doesn’t have to be! Here is your guide to saying “I do” in paradise.
The Benefits of Hosting a Destination Wedding in Turks and Caicos
Planning a Turks and Caicos beach wedding has never been easier. Getting to the island is a cinch now that several flight carriers, including Southwest and JetBlue Airlines, offer regular non-stop service from many major American cities. A US Passport is required for travel and a visa is not required.
There’s something for everyone here on the island. Guest can enjoy a relaxing day on the beach. Individuals looking an adventure can enjoy various water sports including snorkeling and stand up paddling. Our Tour Operator desk will help make the proper arrangements.

Turks and Caicos Legal Marriage Requirements
The couple will need to be on the island for at least three business days before the wedding. Each person is required to bring notarized copies of their birth certificate and passport. Passports and birth certificates in a foreign language will need to be translated into English and notarized.
A notarized Turks and Caicos Immigration Arrival and Departure form is also required. The Application for a Marriage License form and Declarant Application form will need to be signed by the couple upon arrival to Turks and Caicos. Your wedding planner will assist you fulfilling these legal requirements.
