Balenbouche Weddings

Many of our visitors have said that Balenbouche is the most romantic spot on the island! There are many amazing locations to choose from; you can say your vows under one of our ancient banyan trees, on a secluded st lucia beach, or in the historic sugarmill, with the mysterious old waterwheel as a backdrop. The reception is usually held at the historic Plantation house, where we can seat up to 30 guests. Up to 20 wedding guests can stay in our cottages and rooms, and additional guests can stay at another small guesthouse within walking distance. We will work with any budget, and make all the neccessary arrangements for the ceremony and reception.
