1. What is the dress code?1. What is the dress code?

Answer

Dress Code: Elegant Beach Chic Our wedding ceremony and celebration will embrace the natural beauty and understated elegance of Antigua. We invite you to join us in an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and relaxed; think elevated beach style with a touch of Caribbean glam. For Women: • Elegant, flowing dresses, chic wedding attire, or sophisticated separates • Lightweight and breathable fabrics such as linen, silk blends, chiffon, or cotton voile • Dressy sandals, wedges, or elegant flats For Men: • Linen suits or lightweight summer suits • Dress shirts, with or without a tie • Loafers, dress sandals, or other polished warm-weather footwear • Lightweight blazers are encouraged for a refined yet comfortable look A Few Helpful Tips: • The ceremony will take place outdoors on the sand, so please dress with the "warm" Caribbean climate in mind. • While high heels may be challenging on the sand, wedges, block heels, dressy sandals, or elegant flats are excellent options. The reception will be held on a flat surface. • Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a light wrap or jacket for evening breezes may be helpful. Our wedding colors are hydrangea blue (dusty blue), turquoise, and sand, inspired by the colors of Antigua's 365 beaches and shoreline. While there is no expectation that guests will coordinate with our wedding palette, feel free to choose complementary shades of blue, aqua, tan, cream, and soft neutrals. These will blend beautifully with the setting and the overall aesthetic of the celebration.

2. How do I get from the airport to the hotel?2. How do I get from the airport to the hotel?

Answer

V. C. Bird International Airport (ANU) is about 15–20 minutes from most hotels on the west coast, including Siboney Beach Club. Taxis are readily available just outside the terminal. We recommend using the official airport taxis (they are safe, regulated, and fixed-rate). Ride-share apps like Uber and Lyft are not available in Antigua.

Question

4. Should I rent a car or use taxis?4. Should I rent a car or use taxis?

Answer

We tend to rent a car to get around easily and for those comfortable driving on the left side, you can rent at the airport. However, most guests find taxis are easiest and most convenient—especially if you don’t want to drive on the left side of the road. If you plan to explore the island more independently, car rentals are available at the airport and major hotels.
