Frequently asked questions
-
Both of you present, valid passports, and proof of status: a signed declaration if you are single, your original decree absolute if divorced, or your previous marriage certificate and your late spouse’s death certificate if widowed. There is no residency requirement and no waiting period.
-
The government cost is US$450 in total: license US$150, registration US$40, marriage officer US$250, and a certified copy of your certificate US$10. Beyond that, it is the wedding you choose. Couples marrying on their own generally spend between US$2,500 and US$6,000, ten to thirty guests between US$8,000 and US$20,000, and fifty or more from US$25,000.
-
Yes. Your Antigua and Barbuda marriage certificate is valid in Trinidad and Tobago. Order at least one certified copy before you leave the island — it is far easier than requesting one from abroad later.
-
Temperatures sit between 25 and 29 degrees all year. December to April is our busiest and priciest season. May and June bring lovely weather and gentler rates, and June is Romance Month. September to November is the quietest and most affordable.
-
Direct flights from Piarco to V.C. Bird International, about two hours in the air. No visa for CARICOM nationals and no time change.
-
If you marry in Antigua and Barbuda and your wedding party books at least five rooms on a double-occupancy basis, we cover return economy flights from Trinidad for the two of you, fast track through immigration for your whole party, and black car service between the airport and your hotel. Both of you must live in Trinidad and Tobago. Apply at least sixty days before you travel.
-
If you want a more private/intimate wedding, you can book in advance a private helicopter charter with Calvin Air or book a flight with BMN Airways and 15 mins you're in Barbuda.
