Sandals Over-The-Water Wedding Chapels: A Once In A Lifetime Experience

No matter whether your desire is to have a small and simple wedding, or one that’s large and elegant, location is among the most important things to consider.

Any way you look at it, the right location will undoubtedly make a huge difference in how your ceremony pans out. That’s why it’s almost always worth going the extra mile for an amazingly unique venue option, as opposed to settling for something you might regret later.

One venue option that is definitely one-of-a-kind is Sandals Over-The-Water Wedding Chapels. With the backdrop of turquoise waters Over-The-Water Chapels are a breezy and elegant set up, a perfect location to receive all the love you’ll need on your big day.

Read on to see why Sandals Over-the-Water chapels may be the perfect place to say, “I do”.

What is an Over-The-Water Wedding Chapel?

Sandals Over-the-Water Serenity Wedding Chapels are unique wedding venues that make it possible for couples to exchange vows right on the ocean, surrounded by all the little things that make the Caribbean such an awe-inspiring destination.

These Over-the-Water Chapels have signature elements couples will adore, including glass floor aisles allowing for a peak at the waters beneath, wow-worthy views, open-air ambiance, a charming and simple design that can be dressed up as you desire, and so much more.

Inside the chapels, the décor is inspired by the seaside, and includes a metallic river stone altar. Painted brilliantly white, these one-of-a-kind wedding venues are available for a fee of $750, and can be booked through your Sandals wedding planner.
