Getting Married in Jamaica

Many couples from various countries choose to honeymoon in Jamaica, and many of them also decide to actually get married there. Jamaica is a beautiful place for a wedding, and Jamaicans adore weddings as well!

First, to get married in Jamaica, there are two things that you absolutely must do. First, before you arrive, you should obtain your marriage license. You apply for this license through the Ministry of National Security and Justice, which is located in Kingston. You can call for instructions at (876)922-0080.

In order to obtain the marriage license, you must show proof of citizenship, parental permission form (if under 18), Proof of divorce, if applicable, and a copy of death certificate if you are a widow or widower.

Getting the marriage license is the hardest part, and it can take a while if you are trying to obtain it yourself. If you want to speed the process up, call the resort or villa where you will be staying, or where your wedding will be hosted, and ask them for help in acquiring the license. Many wedding packages include this service.

Once you have the license, you are ready to travel to Jamaica for your wedding. You and your potential spouse must be in the country for at least 24 hours before you can be married. Furthermore, the ceremony must be performed before 8:00 PM (Jamaican Time), and there must be two witnesses present. The witnesses must be present for the wedding and after the wedding when the marriage documents are signed.

From a legal standpoint, that is all that there is to it. The actual wedding, on the other hand, is a whole new ballgame. Again, do consider a wedding package that is offered by one of the resorts. They can make your wedding very detailed and special. You can actually ‘mix and match’ packages until everything is just as you want it to be.

Everything will be handled for you, and you will find that you probably spend less on your Jamaican wedding than you would on a traditional wedding in your own country. It is a good idea to book your airfare and hotel accommodations through the airline. Purchase the wedding package separately. You will save money this way.

If guest will be traveling to Jamaica for your wedding, it is ideal to reserve a block of rooms at the resort or hotel for them. You should check with the airlines and the hotel to find the best deals possible. Also, consider working with an experienced travel agency when arranging blocks of rooms, as they can usually get you the best deal.

While everything will be handled for you, your wedding attire must be supplied by you. Some packages will include the bouquet, but the wedding dress and the groom’s tux are left up to you, the happy couple.

Most packages will include the services of a wedding consultant, who you can work with over the phone or via e-mail prior to your arrival. They will ensure that everything that is needed for your dream wedding is in place, without you having to worry and fret over the details. In Jamaica, your wedding can be as elegant or as relaxed as you want it to be. Get married in a gorgeous dress in a pristine chapel, or get married on the beach in your swim wear – anything you desire is possible! After all, this is the enchanted island of Jamaica, where all of your dreams can come true!

Getting Around Jamaica

When you visit Jamaica, you will definitely need a way to get around. Jamaica isn’t necessarily a small place, and there is a great deal to see and do. Public transportation is available, but not very reliable. Many hotels and resorts have shuttles to various attractions, but those shuttles run on schedules, which may make it difficult for you if you are running on your own time schedule.

Having a way to get around on your own may be more ideal for you. In this case, you actually do have a few options. The first obvious choice is renting a car. You should note, however, that in Jamaica, you drive on the left side of the road – not the right.

This is confusing to many people who are accustomed to driving on the right hand side of the road, and can even be scary! If you do rent a car, pick it up at the airport. Be prepared! Car rental prices are very high in Jamaica. Make sure that you get a deal that includes unlimited mileage! Also make sure that you get a good road map. Currently the Discover Jamaica road map, which is published by the Jamaica Tourist Board, is the best one to have.

Another option is to travel around by Taxi. Note that many taxis in Jamaica don’t operate on meters. Therefore, it is important to agree upon a price with the driver before you get into the taxi. There are special taxis and buses that are owned by the Jamaica Union of Travelers Association. These special taxis and buses have red Public Passenger Vehicle (PPV) plates on them.

You can call a taxi or flag one down on the street in Jamaica. Rates are set for the car, not for the number of passengers in the car. Note that the rate is usually higher after midnight.

Another option that gives you more freedom at a smaller expense is to rent a moped or motorcycle. These can usually be arranged for through your hotel, and the daily rate is anywhere from $45 to $70. You will, of course, be required to put down a deposit, which usually runs between $100 and $300.

For getting around the local area, with no plans to go very far, consider renting a bicycle. This is the absolute cheapest option, and you won’t have to worry too much about which side of the street to drive on, or other traffic laws. You also won’t have to worry about parking, and bicycles can usually go where cars and motorcycles cannot.

No matter which option you choose, make sure that you are dealing with a reputable company or person. Scams are rampant in the ‘getting around town’ industry in Jamaica. Again, make sure that you agree on prices in advance, and try to use a company that is operated by one of the tourist associations or one that is recommended by your hotel. Have your transportation lined up when you book your trip for the best results.
