Tabloids are buzzing about Sandra Bullock’s recent vacay to Anguilla. “Spending the past week at the Viceroy Anguilla in the Caribbean with baby Louis and other family — including her sister and brother-in-law,” says People.com, “Bullock and her group took the time to get massages, drink tropical cocktails, play in the pool and even take a jaunt to a nearby private island.”

Does quality time with loved ones in tropical paradise sound good to you? You’re not alone — the Caribbean remains the number-one international wedding destination. To get started on your big day, we recommend reaching out to a local planner — no one knows these islands better. Here are six we trust.
