Sandals Overwater Wedding Chapels: A Once In A Lifetime Experience

Whether you’re dreaming of a small, intimate wedding or a grand, elegant celebration, one of the most important decisions you’ll make is choosing the right location. There are several factors to consider—like the type of ceremony you envision, your guest list, budget, destination, and more.

No matter your plans, the right venue can make all the difference in how your special day unfolds. That’s why it’s often worth going the extra mile for a truly unique setting—rather than settling for something you might wish you’d reconsidered.

One unforgettable option is the Sandals Overwater Wedding Chapel. Set above crystal-clear turquoise waters, these breezy, elegant chapels offer a breathtaking space to say “I do”—surrounded by love and the beauty of the Caribbean.

Read on to see why Sandals Overwater Chapels are a wonderful place to say, “I do”.
