A Caribbean Celebration , May 2008

To welcome the 200-plus friends and relatives to their destinations wedding on Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands,Keisha Martin and Troy Dixon planned a festive dinner with lots of Caribbean flavor.

Guests were greeted with glasses of rum punch upon arriving at the Grand Old House restaurant. They watched the sun set from the deck overlooking the ocean, and later dined on frilled lobster and jerk chicken. A cigar roller and DJ D-Nice,whom the couple flew in form New York City, kept guests entertained all night.

The Grand Old House hosted the wedding, Lions Productions took care of all decorations, set-ups, flowers..a wedding with long lasting memories!

As residents of Southern California, Sheri and Grant were used to amazing sunsets and beautiful beaches. So when they decided to have a Caribbean island wedding they knew it would have to be somewhere special. The couple chose Grand Old House in Grand Cayman because of its romantic and intimate setting on the shore.

Twenty-five of the bride and groom's closest family and friends flew to Grand Cayman to celebrate. After several group activities their favorite being a trip to a stingray sandbar everyone convened for an elegant beach wedding with a traditional touch.

Sheri planned most of the wedding from California with the help of the Cayman Island based wedding planners at Lions Productions. It wasn't until she walked down the aisle that she saw how everything came together. "I was in awe, just totally blown away," says the bride. "It really was a dream come true." Cari Wolfert

During the three years they dated long distance, doctors Cherissa (Cheri) Carrington and Curt Hanson made the best of it by meeting up in fun locales. One of those trips took the two Texas natives to Grand Cayman, where they fell in love with the island.

Their wedding dream? To gather all their favorite people on Grand Cayman for a destination celebration. The culmination was the wedding, which was filled with beautiful tropical-hued flowers, fueled by Caribbean music, and ended with a bang--an awe-inspiring fireworks display.

The Grand Old House restaurant, built on a former coconut plantation is another fantastic option. Its breezy seaside gazebo make a perfect wedding chapel.

So for dinner I agreed to a major splurge at the elegant Grand Old House, where the seaside setting and Old World-meets-Caribbean cuisine thoroughly lived up to the restaurant's lofty name. As we were led to our candlelit table on the white-washed terrace that twinkled with hundreds of tiny white lights. She chose the lobster tail sauteed with shallots, mushrooms, and tomatoes in a beurre blanc sauce while I opted for the chargrilled tenderloin. We complemented our dinner with a bottle of fine champagne. The gourmet indulgence was classic Echo, and I ended the evening with a heartfelt toast to my lovely wife.

Yet another option for couples is the Grand Old House, which specializes in weddings and banquets. Once an old coconut plantation house, the Grand Old House is set on the Caribbean, just south of George Town. For $785, a wedding package includes documentation preparation, certified copies of the marriage, legal fees, a minister or justice of the peace, witnesses, a souvenir print of the Grand Old House signed by a local artist, champagne, wedding cake, taped music of choice, basic decorated wedding area, and a free center plate.

For a taste of old-fashioned plantation atmosphere, head for the Grand Old House on the South Sound of Grand Cayman. Set in a 90 year old former coconut plantation house, the restaurant is known for its 15-page wine list and and crispy pan-fried duck breast. Entrees from $10.

At the Grand Old House in South Sound, you can dine at one the islands legends. This former plantation house is a perfect blend of romance and hospitality. We loved the intriguing Caribbean dishes served here.

MOST CHARMING HISTORIC RESTAURANT Grand Old House is a 90-year-old, former plantation house that is a legend on the Island. A favorite place with locals, it is both warm and welcoming and romantic. I will remember the seafood duet I had a lunch as one my best meals in Cayman. Served with a passion fruit sauce over macadamia-covered mahi-mahi and grilled tuna, plus plantains and vegetables, this was probably my most native meal. Legend has it that every full moon a restless spirit of a former House inhabitant drops by for dinner. I can understand. I plan to go back, too.

Just down the road, the Grand Old House, a Georgian mansion build around the century, sits at water's edge. Today, its shady verandas and decks are a favorite gourmet dining spot as well as a popular location for nuptials-there's even a gazebo wedding chapel beside the sea.

Grand Old House: The Ferrari of the Cayman Islands restaurants. The house which is very grand, produces food that would be passable in the Savoy Grill. The Sea Bass was dreamy and the salads were to die for. The Grand Old House is for the big blow outs but worth every penny (or US cent). Beautiful views, an efficient service. This place is very popular with wedding parties as well.

One of the finest restaurants in Cayman is the Grand Old House-dine outside on the waters edge.
