The largest member of the Cayman Islands trio, Grand Cayman is home to some of the Caribbean's top-rated coral reefs and impossibly clear water, making it a magnet for scuba divers and snorkelers. Plus, the uncrowded, white-sand beaches are divine. And it's easy to reach, with direct flights from several American cities.

Unlike other international destinations, Grand Cayman allows visitors to wed without extended waiting periods or exhaustive paperwork.

The literal translation of Puerto Rico is “Rich Port,” and with its many amazing offerings, the island lives up to its name. For nature lovers, there are endless strands of pristine beaches, majestic emerald-green mountains and even a protected tropical rain forest.

The island also has different locales for hosting a destination wedding, no matter your style and budget.

If you’re dreaming of a posh wedding that’s also off the grid, consider the Cayman Islands, in the western Caribbean.
