Romance Month also saw the hosting of Antigua and Barbuda’s Celebrity Destination Wedding with Grammy-Award winner Jeff Redd and Theresa O’Neal tying the knot in Antigua.
The destination also attracted the attention of top romance influencer couples during the year, including The Curly Coppers and Positravelty who chronicled their couple getaway in Antigua and Barbuda, sharing their experience with over 100K followers.
Antigua and Barbuda’s ‘Love and Wanderlust’ campaign plays on the idea that being in love, and the love for travel are intrinsically connected, as they both exude a feeling of euphoria. Depicting Antigua and Barbuda as the perfect fairy-tale dreamscape for two people in love, or couples who wish to get married or renew their vows, is the focus of the campaign.
