There is a variety of wedding locations to choose from – historic churches for a religious ceremony, or estate inns, tropical gardens, historic ruins, exotic gazebos or beaches for a civil service. No need for expensive shop-bought decorations...nature provides its own inimitable and breathtaking backdrop. Here are some of the most unique and beautiful wedding spots in St.Kitts.

Romney Manor is a tropical plantation garden located about 6 miles west of Basseterre. The grounds of Romney Manor are well-maintained and always full of colour. The centre-piece of the lower level of the garden is a spreading 350-year-old Saman Tree, in whose shade many a couple have exchanged their wedding vows. The middle level is a manicured lawn surrounded by orchids, flowering shrubs and an elegant traveller's palm. Still higher up many tropical flowers bloom around a small water fountain and ruins of a sugar estate tower.

The total effect is tranquil and magical.

Brimstone Hill is ideally suited for those who love history with a touch of 18th century military flair. The fortress, about ten miles from Basseterre, sits atop a hill with a commanding view of the Caribbean Sea on one side, its cannons pointed outwards to protect the island from naval attack and to keep the surrounding waters safe for Britain. Nowadays, it is all peace and quiet and magnificent scenery. On the opposite side, the National Park slopes majestically upwards in various shades of green as the forest thickens towards the mountain top.

Turtle Beach is recommended for the many visitors whose mental picture of the Caribbean is of a white sand beach. And who dreams of exchanging their vows with the gentle waves of the sea lapping their ankles. Turtle Beach is situated near the end of the southeast peninsula, about 7 miles from Basseterre. The Peninsula itself is an ecological contrast to the rest of St. Kitts. Its dry rolling hills are sparsely covered with shrubs. Here and there are salt ponds and mangrove swamps. The best beaches are located in this area, but there is little tourist development until you get to Turtle Beach where there is a nice restaurant and dive shop.

Turtle Beach looks across the two-mile Narrows Strait to the sister island of Nevis.
