Cuba's romantic photo backdrops range from unspoiled beaches to manicured gardens, beautifully decorated gazebos, colonial cities and even the country's famous vintage cars. The hotel's wedding planner will always offer a tour of the grounds and the bride and groom can choose what they like best. Couples looking to tie the knot in Cuba should arrange their wedding package at least 3 weeks in advance, so the resort can book all the services, including the Minister of the Peace.

Couples need valid passports and tourist cards. All documents needed for those who are divorced or widowed must be certified copies and they require official Spanish translation. The resort will take care of the legalization of the marriage certificate at the Canadian Embassy in Havana and Foreign Affairs and mail the wedding certificate to the couple. They should register the marriage in Canada upon receiving the documents.
