Thinking about a Jamaica wedding?
Jamaica Wedding professionals from all over, rate Jamaica as one of the top wedding locations in the world for your destination wedding. You can combine your Jamaica wedding with a fantastic honeymoon to make the wedding of a lifetime without spending a fortune. There are literally dozens of fantastic all-inclusive beach resorts & hotels that offer amazing packages for wedding couples.
And, if you want to take advantage of the gorgeous beaches in Jamaica, opt for the very popular Jamaican beach wedding. You will find that many resorts offer beach weddings or garden weddings with beach views, often within the resort itself.
When you close your eyes, and imagine your Jamaica wedding, you should probably have a vision of a serene, calming atmosphere on beach somewhere. You should probably see waves kissing the ocean, white sand beaches and gorgeous foliage. The island is one of the most popular places in the Caribbean for weddings. Happy couples choose to get married in Jamaica because of the beautiful scenery and stunning views of the lofty mountains and beautiful fauna.
For the most part, almost every resort in Jamaica does dozens of weddings every month so they can handle all of the details. The first decision should be “which resort will you choose to be married?” You may opt to get married at one resort and honeymoon at the other – an experience that might add even more variety and excitement to the occasion. Keep in mind that some resorts cater to children while others don’t allow kids. Some adult resorts may still allow you to have kids attend the wedding ceremony, but they will not be permitted to occupy a room there.
