The sights, sounds and flavours of a Jamaican wedding and honeymoon are as varied and vivid as the imagination. Our immaculate white sands, sparkling waterfalls and rivers, majestic mountains and multi-coloured gardens create magical settings in which to celebrate your special occasion. Nestled in our hills or on our beaches, we have a wide range of delightful accommodations that will nurture your romance, exceeding all your expectations.

Many of our resorts are all-inclusive with packages that include your room, meals, drinks, activities and even the wedding ceremony itself. As well as these popular resorts, you also have your pick of small hotels, inns and villas that promise a more intimate, more personal experience. These charming accommodations give you the chance to have a unique Jamaican wedding and honeymoon, that’s not confined to a property or package. It’s all up to you! Fashion everything to your dreams. Work closely with a local wedding co-ordinator to ensure the ceremony is what you have always envisioned. Limited only by the scope of your imagination and budget, the possibilities are endless… 

Choose from exquisite villas, where you can hide away from the world and lose yourselves in each other; or opt to stay at a cosy inn, where you will enjoy the pampering of your friendly hosts. You may also try a luxurious, old-fashioned hotel, catering to your every whim. 

Whatever your choice, these vacation gems will help you take advantage of Jamaica’s diverse offerings. On your wedding day, you may arrange for a bridal bouquet of freshly picked tropical flowers or ask a village baker to whip you up a scrumptious Jamaican wedding-cake. You can even request a Mento band to play for you while you dance together for the first time as husband and wife. It’s your wedding; let it all flow according to your wishes. 

License Requirements:-

Visitors can be married just 24 hour after arriving in Jamaica providing prior application has been made for a marriage license.

Unlike many countries, Jamaica does not expect you take a blood test before getting married. However, the following documentation is required: 

• Proof of citizenship - certified copy of birth certificate, which includes father’s name. 

• Parent’s written consent if under 18 years of age. 

• Proof of divorce if applicable (original certificate of divorce). 

• Certified copy of death certificate for widow or widower. 

• Italian nationals celebrating their wedding in Jamaica must notify their embassy and a certified copy of their marriage certificate forwarded to their embassy to be legalized and translated. 

• French Canadians need a notarised translated copy of all documents and a photocopy of the original French documents. 

There are non-denominational Marriage Officers who can officiate either at their offices, in their homes or at a place chosen by the couple, and are able to provide witnesses. Marriage Officers charge anywhere from US$50 – US$250. 

The cost of a license is four thousand Jamaican dollars (approximately US$75-US$80).
