You’ve decided to say “I do” in Jamaica and now you're thinking...now what? With all the information out there, it might feel like a puzzle that’s hard to piece together. Don’t worry, though. Let’s take the guesswork out of it and walk through the essential steps so you can make confident decisions and bring your vision to life.
Planning Your Jamaica Destination Wedding: A Step-by-Step Guide
1. Set a Budget: One of the first steps is setting a budget but don't stress about getting the exact number right. Start by figuring out three different budget tiers: your minimum, mid-range and maximum. This gives you flexibility and helps avoid surprises along the way.
If you're looking for a way to keep things straightforward, consider an all-inclusive package. With an all-inclusive resort, your budget will cover accommodation, meals, drinks, the venue and entertainment, so you won’t have to worry about the extra details.
2. Choose a Date: When picking your wedding date, think about both the weather and how easy it will be for your guests to say yes, especially if they’re bringing children.
Jamaica has great weather year-round, but keep in mind that the most popular months (November to April) tend to have more stable weather and are ideal for outdoor weddings. But these months may also mean higher demand and slightly higher travel costs for your guests.
Consider dates just outside of peak season, when travel might be more affordable and guest availability is higher, but the weather still offers that perfect Jamaican vibe.
3. Select your backdrop: Are you saying your vows with the sun setting over the Caribbean? Or do you prefer a lush garden or a terrace overlooking the ocean? Jamaica has plenty of breathtaking options for your perfect backdrop.
5. Send Out Invitations: Give your guests plenty of time to prepare for travel and accommodation. The earlier, the better!
6. Book Travel and Accommodations: Secure the best rates and availability by booking flights and the resort early. Don't worry, we help you with this, too!
7. Plan Activities and Excursions: Make your destination wedding an unforgettable experience for your guests by planning activities like water sports, hikes, or excursions before, during, or after the big day.
