St. George’s, Bermuda (September 9, 2025) – According to The Knot 2025 Real Weddings Study, nearly 28% of couples are choosing to celebrate their wedding with fewer than 50 guests, embracing the intimacy of smaller gatherings. This growing preference has fueled the popularity of destination weddings, where couples can transform their big day into a multi-day escape with their closest friends and family. Just a short flight from major East Coast cities, Bermuda offers a tropical, picture-perfect backdrop, and The St. Regis Bermuda Resort stands as the island’s premier choice for those seeking a luxurious, tailor-made celebration.
As intimate weddings grow in popularity, couples are moving beyond single-day events to multi-day celebrations that feel like once-in-a-lifetime vacations, according to a recent interview from celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss. The St. Regis Bermuda Resort is ideally suited for a full weekend of celebration, offering bespoke experiences at every stage. To begin, the resort can host an elegant open-air welcome party for arriving guests, situated on the edge of the beach and with a backdrop of the historic Fort St. Catherine. Ahead of the big day, attendees can indulge in restorative treatments at The St. Regis Spa, a private poolside cabana experience, or a round of golf at the scenic Five Forts Golf Club.
For the ceremony, couples may exchange vows on Fort St. Catherine with dramatic ocean views or in the island’s storied Unfinished Church — both just steps from the resort. Afterwards, celebrations can unfold across the resort’s 4,400 square feet of refined event space. Indoors, the Astor Ballroom offers 2,600 square feet of contemporary elegance infused with island charm. Outdoors, The Beach provides a breathtaking oceanfront setting as one of the only resorts with direct beach access on the island, with soft white sand and turquoise waters creating the perfect atmosphere for dining and dancing beneath the stars. Wedding guests can enjoy a private dinner on the beach with cuisine from the onsite restaurant, offering innovative and delicious entrees, tantalizing appetizers and hand-crafted cocktails.
To close the weekend, the resort can host a farewell brunch in the John Jacob Astor or Caroline Astor Suite. This elevated experience includes private chef presentations, an artfully curated dessert display, and signature cocktails—ensuring guests depart with lasting, unforgettable memories of the celebration.
For a truly elevated experience, couples can enhance their special weekend with the St. Regis Butler Service. A hallmark of the brand, the Butler Service ensures every detail of a couple’s celebration reflects both St. Regis sophistication and the island’s authentic spirit.
