The Wedding Planner
Lorraine Phillip, Sales Manager
Saint Kitts Marriott Resort & The Royal Beach Casino

Considering a tropical destination wedding? We asked Lorraine Phillip, Sales Manager at the romantic Saint Kitts Marriott Resort & The Royal Beach Casino, about the wedding venues at this romantic property. Lorraine, like other planners interviewed in this monthly column, has passed the Marriott International Wedding Certification Program. We also interviewed Lorraine about tips for making a wedding extra special when the wedding party is just the two of you.

What aspects of your property are most attractive to brides?

The Gazebo is absolutely breathtaking set in a tranquil tropical garden enhanced with a fountain will make a picture perfect wedding this is truly an ideal location for an out door wedding ceremony and reception. The "intimate" Westbury Isles is a spectacular ocean and mountain views nestled with manicured lawns and lush tropical gardens surrounded by palm trees. "The Royal Beach" has been the trend for wedding location with a back drop of the sea, sand and mountain this picture perfect moment is every brides dream to marry on a Tropical Island. The fact that the brides have the best of both worlds (that is lush green gardens, a wedding directly on the beach or perhaps a wedding on the lawn surrounded by coconut trees) makes us by far the best choice for the wedding couple.

What are the most popular wedding venues at the property, both for large and small weddings?

80% of our weddings are held on the beach and because there is a backdrop of the sea, sand and the mountain this creates a magnificent view for both large and small weddings. The Gazebo surrounded by tropical flowers is also another popular venue for wedding couples and their wedding party.

What local elements can a bride add to her wedding to give it a regional atmosphere?

There should be no wedding on the Island without the pulsating rhythm of a steel band. A bride can add this enhancement as well as choose our "local" traditional wedding cake simply known as "Fruit Cake." They can also include a cultural presentation at their rehearsal dinner or at their cocktail reception. This will truly be an experience for their guests.

For brides planning a weekend wedding, what nearby attractions or on property activities are of special interest for their guests?

I recommend to couples with or without wedding parties that a visit to the Island would not be complete without taking in the sites of the island. The St. Kitts Scenic Railway "Sugar Train" Tour should be a must. This is the most unique entertaining experience in the Caribbean where guests can have the opportunity to tour the island by train, enjoy musical entertainment and a colorful narrative history of the entire Island.

For the more energized excursions, a catamaran cruise of fun in the sun, snorkeling and beach barbecue will be their ultimate sailing experience on a sleek 78ft with spacious deck with ample shades. With these tours in mind, there are plenty more activities that can be arranged here at the hotel including Golf, Ocean kayaking, Horse back riding both beach and rainforest and Volcano Tour.

Guests can also experience a wonderful evening of non-stop music with the number one DJ at the St. Kitts Marriott Resort’s "Tigers Night Club." There is also the Royal Beach Casino, which is located at the hotel.

To plan a Marriott wedding, call the Marriott of your choice and ask to consult with the hotel's wedding event planner. For more information on Marriott Hotels, Resorts, and Suites, call 1-800-228-9290 or see www.marriott.com.
