Barbados destination wedding: planning to say "I do" on a paradise island following your Valentine's Day proposal

Life in Barbados: A Year On A Paradise Island (Otherworld Travel)

This week's episode is all about romance and tying the knot on the beautiful paradise island of Barbados.

As you’ll hear, this episode was inspired by a dinner I enjoyed at the Lone Star restaurant and my spotting a flyer for weddings there.

I picked up on that as a bit of a sign that I should do a romance related episode to coincide with Valentine's Day which was just a few days away, as this episode was being recorded.

So here we are.

This episode acted as a bit of a learning moment for me. During my research, I learned all about Sailors Valentines.

This episode is also crammed full of guests with incredible tips for any romantic couples wanting to pop over to Barbados for the dream destination wedding.

We have Malissa Blackman, a wedding planner.

Aniya is a popular Barbados wedding photographer.

Cedric Lynch from Visit Barbados talks us through some of the stranger options for your Caribbean dream Bajan wedding.

Including this type of thing....

Simon chats to us about his experience getting hitched on the Island.

We also get the lowdown on evening entertainment options with radio personality, MC and DJ Kirk Brown, who gets wedding crowds bumping with his party skills.

You'll hear him talk about his music video.

Here it is if you want to check it out!
