Any time you’re fortunate to plan a trip to the scenic and sunny island of Aruba, you’re in for an unforgettable vacation. Beyond the fun you can have here with family and friends, Aruba is an amazing destination wedding locale with so much to offer whether you’re planning an intimate ceremony or looking forward to a large gathering with guests flying in from across the map. The following are just a few of the many top reasons to have your wedding in Aruba when it’s time to say, “I do.”
It Doesn’t Get Any More Idyllic Than This
Hosting your wedding in Aruba is the perfect choice for couples who are looking for a picture-perfect backdrop for their big day. Aruba sits in the Southernmost portion of the captivating Caribbean Sea and at just 20 miles long and six miles wide, you’ll enjoy a wedding destination that feels off-the-beaten-path, yet refreshingly intimate. No matter how many people you have attending your wedding in Aruba, you’ll have everything you need to make it an unforgettable gathering. Aruba is known for its gorgeous landscapes that include beaches, waterfalls, and historic ruins, plus fun nightlife, amazing eateries, and vibrant culture. The combination is ideal for a wedding that’s fully customized and one-of-a-kind. Here, you can also count on amazing weather year-round. This is thanks to the island’s location just outside of the hurricane belt. Aruba does have a rainy season, but the rain count is far less here than surrounding Caribbean Islands. That means couples planning their outdoor wedding won’t have to stress about worrisome weather and instead, can focus on what matters most on their important day.
Aruba Is Easy to Reach for Your Attending Family Members and Friends
Many major airlines from around the globe fly into Aruba each week which means no matter where your guests are arriving from, there’s a reasonably priced flight heading this way. Many major airports in the U.S. and Canada offer one-stop connections to Aruba making travel to the island smooth and seamless. Aruba is also a major cruise hub in the Caribbean so there are opportunities for couples to pair cruising with their destination wedding on the island too! Having options makes all the difference when it comes to planning the perfect wedding day and when you pick Aruba as your destination, you’ll find tailoring your experience to your preferences is a breeze. Once you get here, getting around the island is just as easy. The roads across Aruba are well-maintained and there are taxi services and public transportation readily available if you don’t want to hassle with personal vehicles.
Enjoy a Ceremony Right on the Sand
It’s hard to imagine anything more romantic than a wedding on the beach and when you pick Aruba as your destination wedding locale, you’ll have endless options to enjoy. Places like Palm Beach provide a glamorous shoreline setting to enjoy with easy access to high-end restaurants, bars, and shops as well. Over at Eagle Beach, you’ll find fewer crowds to contend with and unique divi-divi trees that work as a wonderful backdrop for your one-of-a-kind wedding photos. A beach wedding in Aruba is always a delight and comes with the benefit of being able to linger on the sand for cocktails before or after the ceremony.
There Are Plenty of Options for Fun for Your Guests
Half the fun of a destination wedding anywhere is time set aside to explore the place where you’re hosting your ceremony. In Aruba, your guests will find ample options for entertainment of all kinds starting the moment they arrive to celebrate your wedding. Local companies like De Palm Tours offer sightseeing excursions while party buses can be booked through Chogogo Tours as well. There are outfitters ready and waiting to take your guests to the historic landmarks that adorn Aruba while time biking along the beach might be just what your family and friends are looking forward to most.
You Can Indulge in Diverse Culture and Flavor
Aruba is an island of many cultures, languages, flavors, and stories. When you plan your wedding here, you have access to the best of it all as well. Dutch cuisine can be incorporated into your wedding rehearsal dinner options while local museums are great for exploring during your stay and learning more about the island’s past. Colorful architecture in Oranjestad provides a delightful backdrop for wedding photos while the opportunity to hear Dutch, Spanish, English, and Papiamento in the air adds a revitalizing element to your wedding away.
