Get Married in St. Maarten for Free ... Kind Of

St. Maarten is undeniably one of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean. Surely at least ten of your friends would fly out there to see you get hitched, right?

Well, if they do, and they each book a room for a minimum of seven nights, you can get married—and a lot more—for free.

Sonesta St. Maarten Resorts is offering to set couples up with:

  • A wedding coordinator
  • Wedding cake
  • Corsage and boutonniere
  • Official Marriage License
  • 10 percent off select spa services at Sonesta Maho’s Good Life Spa
  • Corsage for bride and boutonniere for the groom
  • Room upgrade
  • Complimentary reception and dinner at Sonesta Maho

You could fly out half your friends yourself and still not spend as much as you would on all that! What’s more, once you’re in the Caribbean, it’s really easy to hop over to another island; so while your friends and family enjoy their 7-night vacation, you and your honey can skip off somewhere nearby to be alone post-ceremony.

You can also check out the Ritz-Carlton’s Reconnect Package, which has similar savings. Isn’t that good to know?

But wait -- there’s one more thing we forgot to tell you about Sonesta: Both of their St. Maarten resorts (Great Bay and Maho Beach) offer all-inclusive stays. That’s right -- free food and drinks, and white sandy beaches. And marriage. Not a bad way to start!

The Free Wedding packages start at $275 per room per night and are available now through 2010. Just bring your dress and your intended.
