Imagine exchanging vows on a secluded stretch of white sand beach, with the turquoise waters of the Turks and Caicos Islands as your backdrop. If you’re dreaming of an intimate and memorable wedding, Villa Esencia on Long Bay Beach is the perfect place for your special day. Unlike crowded resorts, our private beachfront villas offer a peaceful and personal retreat, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your love story.
Why Choose Turks and Caicos for Your Wedding?
Turks and Caicos is a top destination for couples looking for a romantic and unforgettable spot to exchange vows. With its powder-soft beaches, year-round sunshine, and luxurious accommodations, it’s easy to see why so many choose to say “I do” here.
Grace Bay Beach is often ranked among the world’s best beaches. But for a more private experience with the same appeal, Long Bay Beach offers exclusivity and privacy away from the crowds. Create your version of a perfect day and bring your vision to life in our island paradise, whether that’s a beachfront ceremony or a small vow exchange at sunset – whatever you choose, you can make it happen in Turks and Caicos.

How to Plan Your Wedding in Turks and Caicos
Regardless of where you decide to tie the knot, there are some key things you’ll have to figure out. Knowing the details will ensure a seamless experience once you arrive.
Securing Your License
Before hosting your wedding ceremony in Turks and Caicos, you’ll need to meet the island’s marriage requirements. Couples must:
- Be present on the islands for at least 48 hours before applying for a marriage license.
- Provide valid passports, birth certificates, and proof of marital status (if applicable).
- Submit an application through the local registrar’s office.

Additional Wedding Planning Assistance
While all-inclusive resorts may seem convenient, they often come with crowds, limited privacy, and one-size-fits-all wedding packages. At Villa Esencia, you have the freedom to create a completely personalized experience without resort restrictions.
Choosing an independent event planner can make this process much easier, too. You’ll benefit from working with a wide range of vendors and an on-island professional who can help you navigate everything from catering to decorations, making sure your wedding day goes off without a hitch. They’ll even handle processing your marriage license and finding an officiant!
Accommodation for Wedding Guests
Villa Esencia offers a romantic and intimate escape, perfect for couples and their guests. If you’re traveling with a larger group, additional accommodations are available nearby. Explore our luxurious villas and reserve your stay early to ensure availability.
While nearby resorts provide a traditional hotel stay, at Villa Esencia, we go above and beyond to deliver a truly elevated experience. When you book our exceptional villas, you’ll find many come with a free rental SUV for use during your stay, fully equipped kitchens, gorgeous furnishings, private pools, and much more. If you want to feel like you’ve got the island to yourself, there’s really no better choice for your Turks and Caicos wedding than Villa Esencia.
