Almond Beach Village was established on the grounds of a former sugar plantation and a sugar mill that is still standing adds a touch of charming history. Choose to have your ceremony amidst tropical flowers and bright foliage at this historic sugar mill. Or exchange vows on the pristine beach with the sounds of waves lapping in the background.

A reception dinner can be arranged for up to twenty people at one of the restaurants on property as part of the all inclusive program. The wedding party has to dine from the menu that is being served at that particular restaurant that day/evening.
