SOUFRIERE, St. Lucia – Anse Chastanet has introduced a special promotion for altar-bound couples who want to avoid some of the anxiety and expense associated with wedding ceremonies while enjoying one of the Caribbean’s most romantic locations.

“We want people tying the knot to experience as much romance as possible without any of the stress,” said Karolin Troubetzkoy, executive director of Anse Chastanet, “so we are offering a free wedding package to couples who make their lifelong commitment here at the resort.”

The value of the promotion which must be booked by May 31 is US$1,095. The couple must book a minimum of seven nights stay in a Hillside Deluxe or Premium room between Aug. 1 and Sept. 30.

“Our wedding planners offer exceptional personal attention and are highly skilled at making sure each couple’s special day fulfills their unique dreams,” said Troubetzkoy, noting that the essential details involved in planning a wedding can demand a significant amount of time and energy.

Requirements such as acquiring a wedding licence, securing a justice of the peace to perform the ceremony and payment of legal fees are all included in Anse Chastanet’s free wedding package.

The resort’s wedding consultants will assist each twosome in selecting a picture-perfect location for the nuptials on Anse Chastanet’s lush, breathtaking 600-acre property. In addition, the promotion includes the decoration of the chosen site with a wedding arch, wedding cake, bride’s bouquet and groom’s boutonnière, and a bottle of champagne.
