FAQ

I see the wedding and honeymoon packages and the prices; does that include the cost of the rooms?

The wedding packages include only the items you see listed. Travel packages are additional. You can get the rates for travel by calling 1-800-425-6663 and speaking with an Almond reservation specialist.

Is the reception included in the all- inclusive package?

At Almond Resorts, as part of the all-inclusive package we offer you the option of having up to twenty guests total seated in one of the restaurants the evening of your wedding and as long as they are all guests of the resort and dining from the regularly served menu. This is not a private reception. Your guests will be seated at tables near each other, but among the other guests dining in the restaurant that evening. With this option you can have guests from off property as long as the total of your group is not more than 20 persons and all off property guests will have to pay for a day pass. Should your party be more than 20 persons or if you want a private reception or music and dancing at your reception you can contact the wedding coordinator at the resort of your choice for reception pricing and options.

I don’t know which resort I like, which one is the best?

All four Almond Resorts offer a beautiful tropical location for an unforgettable wedding. They all offer different features from the location in the St Lawrence Gap and Dover Beach of the Casuarina, to the nine hole golf course and Sugar Mill of the Village, to the adult only atmosphere and first rate Spa facilities of the Club and Spa in Barbados.

Will I have a wedding coordinator at the resort?

When you check in, you will receive a wedding packet from the resort’s wedding coordinator. Your wedding briefing is then usually held a day or two after your arrival. This will give you the opportunity to meet with your wedding coordinator to finalize the details of your big day. At this time, your coordinator will go through the procedure of your wedding day and the vows that will be exchanged. Feel free to add to the wedding vows with a family prayer or your own written vows. This is also your time to consult with the photographer.

How many weddings does each resort have each day?

Each Almond Resort holds up to three weddings per day, but we ensure a gap of approximately 2 to 3 hours between each ceremony. We want you to feel totally unique and special – the way you should on this very special day.

What days and times can I schedule my wedding?

Weddings can be scheduled Monday through Saturday from 10am until 4pm. In compliance with local statutes, Almond Resorts does not perform weddings on Sundays, public or religious holidays, and all ceremonies must be completed by sundown.

How many guests can attend the wedding?

The number of guests varies by properties due to the size of the venues but there is no limit per reception. Non-resident guests will be expected to pay for a day pass. Please visit our contact usNote: Almond Beach Club & Spa is only able to accommodate 30 guests due to location size.

Can I customize my reception?

It is best to contact the hotel wedding coordinator directly to plan the reception. Reception costs are payable directly to the resort, so prices and deposits can be advised immediately.

Are children welcome at the properties?

Children under 16 are welcome at all other properties for the ceremony; non-resident day pass charges apply. If younger children are in attendance or part of the wedding ceremony, we recommend that couples staying at Almond Beach Club & Spa have the wedding and reception at the Beach Village or Casuarina Beach properties.
