St. Lucia Villa Rental - Get Married in St Lucia and stay at the Best Caribbean Villa Rental Akasha

Getting married is a big step and can be rather stressful for all those involved. St Lucia is a great place to get married and stay for your honeymoon. Here at Akasha, we can help you make the arrangements along with local planners and photographers when you book your vacation in paradise.

Enjoy the sprawling beaches, Caribbean sunshine, blue green waters and fabulous resorts. Relax; St Lucia has created a formula for creating a magical experience without the intense planning that usually goes into such an incredible event.

Starting with the laws, St Lucia has made it quite easy to facilitate marriage ceremonies. In fact, wedding planners can handle all the details once they’ve received the proper documents. You won’t need to worry about contacting a local attorney or filing papers.

We can look after the flower arrangements, button holes and bouquets to steel bands, wedding cakes and catering your desires can be fulfilled.

The options are endless. Beach weddings, Botanical Garden weddings, horse and carriage rides, sunsets, whatever you want can be arranged relatively easily, on your part. Even photography and videography can be procured to document your perfect Caribbean wedding.

You will need some documents to make the process go smoothly;
• Passports (valid for a minimum of six months)
• Birth certificates
• Deed poll certificate (if your name has been changed)
• Parental consent by way of an affi davit if below age 18.
• Death certificate and previous marriage certificate (if you’ve been widowed)
• Decree absolute (if you’re divorced)
• Originals or certified documents only
• All legal documents should be faxed to us or the wedding planner to begin the legal process. Documents in a foreign language require authorized English translation.

St. Lucia has a NO RESIDENCY POLICY and visitors arriving to the island for a day can be married within hours.

Some of the local costs involved in getting married include license fees which are as follows:
• $335 if staying on island for 3 days or more.
• $540 for a SPECIAL LICENSE if staying on island less than 24 hours. Application to be married in St. Lucia must be made by a local solicitor to the Attorney General or notary who prepares and signs the license.

Fees you will need to pay
• Notorial Fees and Marriage License: $335EC
• Special Marriage License: $540EC
• Registrar Fee: $100EC
• Marriage Certificate: $8EC

A Few Tips to improve your special day;
• Independent photographers on the island are good – use them, we have a really good one – just look the photos of the villa!
• Sunset weddings can be tricky. Since St Lucia is so near the equator twilight is very short. This could ruin some perfect shots. Instead consider an earlier ceremony with photography scheduled during the sunset.
• Seashore ceremonies are romantic. They can also be hot, sweaty affairs depending on the time of day and the season. Consider photography on the beach and a ceremony at a nearby gazebo or other location.

We can make all this happen if you book the Caribbean’s Best Villa Rental. Bring along some close friends or family members and they can enjoy the villa with you. There’s plenty of space.

If you want to take more strain off your wedding let ask for the all inclusive options – Julietta can even handle the catering for parties of up to 20 guests. International and Creole dishes can be prepared for your feast. We can provide servers for the party so no one has to lift a finger – come and enjoy your wedding, champagne and honeymoon.

Caribbean Best Villa Rental making your wedding less stressful – what are you waiting for.

Akasha Saint Lucia luxury villa rental offers all its guest the opportunity to book a variety of activities prior to the arrival.  This means guests have more time to relax and do what they came to do – vacation, and not spend time arranging things.  So if your idea of all inclusive includes taking in the local culture then one of the things we can offer is local food and/or Creole cooking lessons at one of the most idyllic restaurants on the island – Jambe De Bois.  This is located on St Lucia’s National Park (Pigeon Island) which is only a 5 minute drive from the villa.  Creole cooking is wide spread across the Caribbean including islands like Barbados and Antigua.

This rather chocolate box looking restaurant is set by the waterside and looks back over the Rodney Bay towards the local town of Gros Islet and the mega marina.  So while you dine you can watch the mega yachts and the local fishing boats sail by.  Less than 10 yards away from you seat there is small sandy beach – safe for kids and good for snorkelling. This place is one of Akasha villa rental’s recommendation.

If you come to dine then we also suggest you go up the steep hill just behind Jambe De Bois and take in the super views from the old fort ruins.  Do this before you dine – great for working up an appetite.  Take care as the path is rather steep (with stairs in certain parts).  From the top you can see Martinique to the north, the Caribbean Sea to the West and lush green island to the East and south.  If look carefully to the North East you will see Akasha your luxury villa up on the hill looking straight back at you.

At Jambe De Bois you can just have a meal or if you want to know how to make some of the local recipes then we will arrange for the Chefs there to show you how it’s done. The local chefs take all day preparing the various dishes using local indigenous ingredients so if you want to learn and have some fun we can arrange your own personal Creole cooking lesson.

The food here is unpretentious, served without fuss, and very reasonably priced.  Our favourites are the Roti(s) – fish, chicken, lamb, or local fish – cooked any way you like, and Barbara’s personally prepared desserts.  I can recommend anyone of these but be warned if you are on a diet – stay away from them because once you have one you will be back for another! Barbara also helped us at Akasha – St Lucia’s most luxurious villa rental, with our Feng Shui aspects , helping us to ensure our guests enjoyed good energy flows and good fortune.

Check out the work of some local artists that’s on display or in the ‘library’ at the back.  The décor is rather rustic and wobbly chairs are part of the charm of the place as is the owner Barbara – charming that is not wobbly or rustic.  This is the complete opposite to Akasha luxury villa rental where luxury is assured, we hope you appreciate the contrast – we do. Barbara has been on the island a long time and hails from the lovely county of Somerset in England.  Everyone on the island knows her and she is a great lady who contributes to so many local causes.

She makes a mean cocktail and there is a “two for one” all day every day! You have been warned.

If you ask Barbara nicely, she will let you have a take out to take back to your luxurious villa rental.

So as part of your all inclusive vacation we can include a meal (or two) at Jambe De Bois and or a few Creole cookery lessons just let us know and consider it done.
