The Cliff partners with several top, on-island wedding planners - including, "Weddings by Malissa," "Weddings by Cupid's Way" and "Events Unusual" – ensuring each wedding planned at The Cliff is unique and specially customized to meet the bride and groom’s every need.

• At Weddings by Malissa (www.barbadosweddings.net), a wedding consultant meets the bride when she arrives on island and ensures that every detail and arrangement is taken care and that the wedding will be as stress-free and carefree as life on Barbados.
• Barbados Weddings by Cupid’s Way (www.barbadosweddings.com) specializes in destination weddings and strives to make the exotic Caribbean island of Barbados your “home away from home”.
• Events Unusual (www.events-unusual.com) is one of the Caribbean’s leading event companies specializing in the design and creation of dramatic and unforgettable events, including orchestrating the wedding of the world’s most famous golfer. These wedding planners work with The Cliff throughout the year and have created special wedding packages specifically designed for the ultimate island wedding at one of the finest restaurants in the world.

The Cliff and its team of event specialists hold the keys and knowledge to masterfully create weddings and events of any magnitude, scope or theme. For a recent wedding, The Cliff team created three separate and distinct event rooms within the restaurant – one created for children with clowns, toys and child-friendly dishes; a second room designed for a more mature crowd with mellow music and ambiance; and a third lively room for those energized and ready to dance the night away.

Additionally, destination weddings offer a luxurious cost-saving solution to wedding planning and budgets. Even during trying economic times, studies show that a growing number of American couples are tying the knot far from home and the Caribbean accounts for more than half of international destination weddings from the United States. The island of Barbados offers one of the most authentic Caribbean experiences with its exceptionally rich culture and history rooted in remarkable landscapes ranging from rolling waves on the Atlantic to those gently lapping the Caribbean coast.
