How to Get a Free Sandals Wedding in 2026 (What Couples Need to Know)

Dreaming of saying "I do" on a white-sand beach with the Caribbean breeze in your hair? 💍 With the right strategy, you can have your wedding taken care of thanks to Sandals Resorts' generous destination wedding offers in 2026 — including a complimentary wedding package called the Sweetheart Wedding Package. Here's how it works and what you need to know to secure it.

🌴 What "Free Wedding" Means at Sandals Resorts

A free Sandals wedding does not mean free flights or hotel accommodations. Instead, Sandals Resorts includes a full wedding package when you meet specific booking requirements.

When you qualify, your Sandals wedding package includes:

• Ceremony venue
• Onsite wedding planning team
• Wedding décor
• Reception elements
• Honeymoon perks
• Anniversary bonus night

This makes a Sandals destination wedding significantly more affordable than a traditional at-home celebration.

💍 How to Qualify for the Free Sweetheart Sandals Wedding Package (2026)

To receive the complimentary Sweetheart Wedding Package, couples must:

✔ Stay at least 7 nights at a Sandals Resort
✔ Book a Club Level Room or Butler Suite
✔ Schedule the wedding Monday–Thursday (morning or early afternoon)
✔ Keep the guest list to 10 people or fewer
✔ Have a legal wedding ceremony

If you don't meet the 7-night requirement, the Sweetheart package is still available starting at $1,000 — making it one of the most affordable Caribbean wedding options available.
