Your step‑by‑step Weddings on Grace Bay planning checklist
1) Clarify your vision and guest list
- Decide on ceremony style (intimate beach vows or larger beachfront celebration).

2) Choose your resort base (or use both!)

7) Schedule spa and beauty time
- Coordinate appointments at Spa Tropique for relaxation, facials, or beauty treatments for the couple and wedding party. Build in buffer time to keep the day calm and on‑schedule.
