- Wedding Venues in Trinidad

Trinidad:  Church & Reception Venue


Wedding venues are exciting things to look for.  You usually require a venue to get married; a church venue for example, and a reception venue; a place to hold the party!! (The part that most people look forward to).  Here are the wedding venues in Trinidad that we have chosen:


Ceremony Venue: The Church



Trinidad's rainy season is June through to December, our date is during the second week of July(....ah.....awesome, right?).

Thinking of a beach wedding initially, the best place for a beach wedding is on Trinidad's sister island, Tobago.  However, as J is from Trinidad we would like to keep it in Trinidad.  So an OK beach + the chance of tropical downpour while stood on a beach = no.thank.you.

As we are both Catholics, we are able to use one of Trinidad's many Catholic Churches.  We have chosen to go with Our Lady of Fatima RC Church, which romantically is the same place J's parents got married.  And if you think that is lovely, the Father who wed his parents will also be marrying us too ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ 


Church = Check! Someone to Marry us = Check!

Reception & Accommodation: Norma's B&B



Our wedding guests will be flying in from around the world: The United Kingdom,  the Middle-East, the USA, and the rest will be people lucky enough to already be in Trinidad!  

With this in mind, we wanted a reception venue where our guests can party and then walk to their bed as and when they are ready.  Through internet searches and asking our family we found Norma's B&B.  

Clean, tidy and experts in holding weddings and wedding receptions, this is the place to be!

Each room has the essentials:  Air con, internet, mini fridge, any size bed you need and close to an outdoor pool.  The B&B has enough rooms to accommodate our large group, which is lovely as both families will be able to hang out together, and not be in different hotels with miles in between.  Another important factor for us, was the proximity to the Church and Norma's is conveniently located close by.

Norma has been running her B&B for over 20 years and has held many wedding ceremonies and receptions.  Her garden is lush with green and colourful flowers, with room to hold around 200 guests, a bar and DJ area.  Norma has been in this business for a long time and luckily for us, has a long list of people she recommends using for the wedding.  Hairdressers, make-up artists, caterers, florists, tent suppliers... the list goes on!  Approachable, excellent customer service and valuable wedding experience - sounds like we have hit a little jackpot :)

If you would like to consider Norma's B&B, her website is:



After the wedding I will write a full review on Norma's, something which will be useful for people considering staying there as a B&B, or using the venue for dual purpose - just like us!

I must say, this is going very smoothly indeed.....  :)

  1. Such a nice wedding venue!! I am really inspired with this venue. I was wondering if there are such pretty Chicago wedding venues which I can book for our wedding. We don’t want to spend money on traveling so looking for some good local venues.
