When our Swiss couple decided to host a destination celebration in the Caribbean, they envisioned something truly special. They wanted not just a celebration of love, but an unforgettable experience for their guests. After much deliberation, they chose the intimate Maliouhanna Hotel along the serene shores of Anguilla to bring their dream wedding to life. What followed was a perfectly executed, multi-day celebration of music, design, and unique experiences that left everyone in awe.

The Perfect Location

Anguilla’s beautiful beaches and tropical vibe made it the ideal location for a March affair. While Paris and Geneva were chilly and gray, the Caribbean was the epitome of perfect weather. The Maliouhanna Hotel was selected not only for its stunning beach location but also because it offered the ideal capacity for the 100-person guest list. The hotel’s intimate, colorful, and vibrant design fit our couple’s vision of a true Caribbean celebration.

The Guest Experience

The couple’s roots in Switzerland and France made the logistics complex but exciting. The wedding party kicked off with the arrival of guests from Europe, who landed in St. Martin on commercial flights. From there, chartered planes whisked guests away to Anguilla. To make the experience even more exclusive and luxurious, private yachts were waiting to transport everyone straight to the marina, just a short drive from the hotel.

To ensure everyone felt pampered and cared for, personalized towels, sunscreen, and a hospitality desk were available at all times. Guests could ask questions, book excursions, or simply relax knowing their every need was being met. Guests were even provided mini mokes—small, open-air vehicles—so they could explore the island at their leisure, adding to the sense of adventure that marked the entire event.

The “Burning Man” Beach Party

One of the most memorable parts of the celebration was the beach party on the first night. The couple, inspired by the eclectic, free-spirited vibe of Burning Man, wanted to create something that was not only a party but an experience. The night featured a DJ battle, where two top DJs went head-to-head under a sky full of stars. Laser lights cut through the night air as guests danced barefoot on the sand, with the sound of the ocean crashing just feet away. This one-of-a-kind celebration blended music, art, and nature in a way that had everyone buzzing.

Wedding Day: Boho Chic Meets Jungle Fever

The celebration’s design was rooted in the beauty of nature. Shifting the theme to “Jungle Fever” to embrace the lush tropical vibe of Anguilla, the venue was transformed with deep velvet greens, bright oranges, and yellows. More than 2,000 candles were hung under a canopy of greenery, creating a dreamy, enchanted atmosphere. This playful theme, with its monkeys and jungle-inspired lighting, turned the space into a whimsical jungle retreat.

A Taste of Anguilla

The food at this affair was just as spectacular as the setting. Anguilla’s Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is known for its incredible freshness, and the menu for this celebration was no exception. Guests enjoyed fresh fish, lobster, steaks, and more. Large bottles of champagne and rosé flowed freely, adding to the festive atmosphere. Every bite was a celebration of local flavors, prepared with the finest ingredients.

Keeping the Party Going All Night Long

Music was a central part of this celebration, and our couple wanted to make sure it was unforgettable. One of the standout features of the party was the live band, Inspirations, known for their ability to seamlessly mix Arabic music, Latin beats, and American hits with deep house remixes. Their diverse sound and setlist kept everyone on their feet all night long.

An Epic Weekend to Remember

The entire weekend was nothing short of magical—a true testament to our couple’s vision and the exceptional team that helped bring it to life. From the seamless logistics to the breathtaking design, every detail was carefully planned to create an unforgettable experience for our couple and their guests. The combination of stunning natural beauty, unique cultural touches, and world-class entertainment made this destination celebration one for the books.
