BELIZE WEDDINGS

Belize All Inclusive Destination Weddings

Destination weddings are a terrific opportunity to get married in a location or country you’ve always wanted to visit. You can get married on a white-sand beach, in a lush rainforest, or on a private island. Getting married away from home lets you do it without all the stress and expense that come with planning a traditional wedding. It also offers the added benefit of being a unique destination for your honeymoon. As a result, many people from the U.S. and Canada have chosen to get married in tropical Belize, Central America.

Belize has a number of resorts that are perfect for couples who want to get married. Laru Beya, Belizean Dreams, Manta Island Resort, and Coco Plum Island are four of the best wedding destination resorts. There is an on-site wedding coordinator at each of these resorts who can help you design your perfect wedding in a beautiful location.

Selecting That Special Wedding Location

Belize has many different areas to be married, from locations on the beach to those in the jungle. Some of the smaller resorts are cute and romantic, and they have all the wedding services you need. They feature beautiful tropical gardens, beaches, and waterfronts where you may have your ceremony. If you want something different, you can even get married at a private island resort with views of the Caribbean Sea.

Several of the resorts have wedding packages. These could hiring a local wedding planner to help you with the paperwork, prepare the ceremony, and find places for you and your guests to stay

Wedding planning & ceremony packages often are separate from packages that bundle rooms, food, and tours for you or your guests, so make sure that the resort you choose has the amenities that you want. Accommodations will range from rooms to suites to private cabanas. Resorts may also offer discounts for large parties, as is the case for Laru Beya, Belizean Dreams, Manta Island Resort, and Coco Plum Island.

Packages usually come with a choice of wedding cake flavor, your wedding color scheme, and a palm leaf and tropical flower archway arrangement and decorations. You should be allowed to ask for adjustments to what is included in the package for an extra price. For example, you might ask for different beverages and meals to be served during the reception. Most resorts will be able to meet your unique dietary needs. Pick the meal that you will like and remember on your special day.

Your Wedding Ceremony

If you want a wedding that isn’t typical, you should tell your resort exactly what you want. You can have practically any kind of ceremony you choose, from a religious one to a non-religious one. In Belize, only a justice of the peace, a boat captain, or a church minister can marry people. If you don’t have a specific person in mind to perform your ceremony, your resort’s wedding coordinator can set up the judge of the peace. One male and one female witness must be there for your ceremony. Your resort will supply witnesses if you and your spouse are planning a wedding without friends or family.

If you want music at your wedding, your wedding  coordinator will arrange the musicians such as a local band for an additional fee. If you prefer, you can hire a local DJ instead of having live music. Or, if you are looking to save on costs, simply bring your own playlist and connect to the resort’s sound system. Basic photography is included in most packages with an option to upgrade more artistic photography.

Choosing your wedding dress and flowers will be one of the most essential choices you make. Your wedding resort that is open to everyone will help you pick out the proper flowers and bouquet. There aren’t many places in Belize that sell wedding dresses, so keep that in mind. You, your partner, and everyone else in the wedding party should bring their own clothes. Most resorts will also arrange for hair and makeup services for an extra charge.

Start Planning Your Destination Wedding

You don’t have to worry about any of the specifics when you plan your destination wedding. Belize is the best location if you love nature and want to get married in a completely different place. Just imagine getting married on a beach with swaying palm trees, the Caribbean Sea’s waves gently rippling in the background, and the sun shining on your partner. Several Belize resorts can host your wedding, whether it’s just the two of you, your closest family and friends, or a big group of people who want to get married at a destination. A wedding planner will provide the personalized service that you need to take the stress out of the planning so you can enjoy peace of mind when you say “I do.” And the best part?  After the most memorable day of your life, stay in Belize for a few extra days and start your life as a married couple with the romantic touches of a Honeymoon Package.
