Aruba Island All-inclusive
Aruba is divine, but it’s not always the least expensive destination to marry within the Caribbean. That’s why we highly recommend the Aruba all-inclusive resorts. We’ll go into the best resort wedding features later in this blog. However, some of the most popular all-inclusive properties are The Holiday Inn Resort Aruba, Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort and Casino and Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort. You’ll also love the Divi Village Golf and Beach Resort and Marriott Aruba Ocean Club. Similarly, the Renaissance Aruba Resort and Casino and the Barcelo Aruba. We are also happy to assist with cost comparisons with non-all-inclusive resorts as well.
Aruba Flights
Out of North America, there are a plethora of flight options for you to Aruba. Flight pricing will vary depending on what time of year you go. The off-season is considered May through August. Additionally, certain times of the year offer lower airline pricing. The cheapest flight time is typically August. The highest ticket pricing is usually around December and January.

LGBTQ -Friendly Aruba Island Weddings
The term “One Happy Island” is what Aruba Island Country is nicknamed for, for a good reason. You’ll find friendly and helpful locals at your beck and call. Additionally, Aruba has one of the lowest crime records out of any of the Caribbean Islands. Aruba Tourism has some great advice in regards to booking your Aruba LGBTQ destination wedding.
So Welcoming An Island
Did you know Aruba was the first Caribbean island to offer legal same-sex weddings? We proudly offer lovely properties here in Aruba that warmly welcome the LGBTQ community! Our top picks include the Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino and the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. The Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort Spa and Casino and Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa are highly recommended gay-friendly all-inclusive resorts.
Fabulous Caribbean Island Weather
Unlike other Caribbean Islands, Aruba boasts a dryer climate. More like a desert, in fact, according to Wikipedia. You are, therefore, going to experience idyllic weather for your destination wedding plans. My favourite tip about Aruba’s weather is the perfect location outside the Caribbean hurricane belt. You can expect warm, sunny and mostly clear skies year-round. It’s one of the top reasons why weddings are so popular here. The rainout wedding becomes much slimmer in Aruba. Check it out. The weather network has a handy guide to understanding Arubas climate year-round.

Aruba Island Country Destination WeddingsIt is most popular to have your wedding legalized in your home country before arriving in Aruba. However, if you choose to marry in Aruba, it is entirely possible. We’ll have all the information necessary for you if you choose this route to marry. One consideration is the requirement of your long-form birth certificate. You’ll want to apply for this in advance if you still need to get a copy on hand. Wedding tip: A very popular chapel here on the island is the Alto Vista Chapel. Otherwise known as the Pilgrims Church. It is so charming as it stands alone on the hills above the North Short. Although you can’t marry inside, you can set up a ceremony outside the chapel. We can help with this!Aruba Destination Wedding CostsYes, Aruba Island County can cost a bit more than other Mexico and Caribbean Islands. However, there are ways to cut costs when it comes to your Aruba Destination Wedding. Firstly, there are more budget-friendly resort options. All-inclusive resorts are also a great way to keep your overall wedding budget costs down. Wedding packages can also vary in cost, depending on your chosen resort. The main consideration is that you are already in a tropical paradise when it comes to your wedding celebration. Your decor can be simple when the setting offers million-dollar views!
