Tying the Knot Caribbean Style

Tying the Knot Caribbean Style

The Caribbean will bring a little romance to New York during Caribbean Week and prove that Life Needs the Caribbean as the CTDC partners with MarryCaribbean.com to host an island-flavored wedding on stage at the Caribbean Fair. The wedding will take place at 3:00pm Wednesday June 10, 2009.

According to Jacqueline Johnson, president of MarryCaribbean.com and a CTO Allied Board Member, the wedding and honeymoon market is part of a constantly regenerating marketplace delivering much needed revenues to the Caribbean on a year round basis.

“The weddings and honeymoon market is continuing to hold strong, despite the global economic struggle. People still want to get married, have a honeymoon and take care of both in the most romantic region in the world, the Caribbean,” said Johnson. “Weddings are always a 'crowd pleaser' in that it draws awareness to the Caribbean, and additional visitors to the fair.”

The Caribbean Wedding will be heavily promoted in the news media and, in addition, information on the event will be on MarryCaribbean.com, GlobalWeddingResource.com, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other social networks.

A number of sponsors are already on board for the event:

• Wedding Cake sponsored by Dreamy Weddings of St. Kitts

• Wedding Dress by Demetrios

• Rings by The United States Virgin Islands

• Honeymoon by the British Virgin Islands/Biras Creek Resort

• Bridal Knife & Fork by MarryCaribbean.com

• Day of event utensils, etc. by GlobalWeddingResource.com

• First Anniversary Holiday by Palmyra A Soltis Resort & Spa, Jamaica

Additional sponsorship opportunities are still available. For more information contact Jacqueline Johnson at Jacqueline@marrycaribbean.com
