I am a travel agent and do many destination weddings.
No matter where you decide to get married, PLEASE, do not try to do it yourself. Every major Caribbean destination/resort has a wedding planning staff - their services are invaluable - I've seen brides become terribly stressed that have not used a planner.
Now, on to the question you asked - the best place. If your guests are all adults (no one under 18 permitted) I would recommend any of the three Sandals resorts on St. Lucia. If you've got some kids in the mix, just forget about Sandals, but look at other resorts on the island. Other "favorites" spots are: Punta Cana (Dominican Republic), Riviera Maya (south of Cancun, Mexico), and St. Thomas, (US Virgin Islands). The big advantage with St. Thomas, is that is a US territory and if you get married there, it considered to be in the US!
The only other pieces of advice I would leave with you are #1) use a travel agent that has experience working with destination weddings and wedding planners; #2) a more "upscale" and "all-inclusive" resort seems to yield the best, easiest, most memorable results.
Congratulations and enjoy the planning!

I got married at sandals Dunns River in Ocho Rios (Jamaica). It was easy and wonderful. They do everything for you and make a big party out of it.
Yes, kids can come for 1 hour to the ceremony, or you can schedule to stay at a Sandals and a Beaches resort, and kids are always welcoem at Beaches resorts.
Since Beaches and Sandals are owned by the same people they will work with you to split your stay, or accomdate your needs.
I highly recommend Sandals, but also check out Couples or the smaller resorts. I also recommend St. Lucia, where you get more nature/fun versus poverty and people.
Best of luck!

Sandals is nice, but since they don't allow kids, the wife and I aren't going to be able to form our own opinions for another 16 years or so.
