Curaçao was named one of the hottest destinations by AOL Travel, Fodor’s and SmarterTravel, and it should come as no surprise that it’s also one of the most popular sun-drenched hotspots for destination weddings. With a dreamy backdrop that includes endless ocean and seaside views, not to mention top-notch resorts that are armed with wedding planners who can take care of every last detail on the “I do” to-dos, Curaçao is the perfect locale for new couples to start their lives together.

Couples who are tying the knot and want a beachy destination are drawn to Curaçao because of the endless seascapes, dotted with over 35 beaches and many white-sand beaches that are not commercialized, which visitors love. The Curaçao sea is an incredible backdrop for wedding pictures. The wedding party can also go to the historic inner city and harbor and take fabulous wedding pictures on the pontoon bridge with the gorgeous iconic backgrounds.. Part of the undeniable allure of this Caribbean island is its eclectic charm. There’s history and a lot of mixed culture on this little island. There are four languages spoken here and we’re open to all cultures – there’s more than 40 different nationalities living in Curaçao.
