In order to make your special day of wedded bliss run as smoothly as possible, take these top tips into consideration for a picture-perfect trip down the aisle.

#1 Select a Specific Location

With so many beautiful beaches and superb sights to see during an Indian wedding in Jamaica, it can be hard to narrow your array of options down to the one that is just right for you and your soon-to-be spouse.

Things to consider when honing in on the best locale for your Indian wedding in Jamaica include what type of setting you want to incorporate, as well as the size you have in mind.

• Beachfront or onshore? You need to determine whether your vision entails exchanging your vows on soft sand with the sound of the surf behind you, or on land in a lovely setting adjacent to the Jamaican shore.

• Adults-only or family-friendly? The venue you select may offer both options, but certain spots are definitely more conducive to children than others.

• Small circle or all-out, big bash? The venue of your choosing will also be dependent upon the size of your soiree. Space for all of the guests you want by your side when you walk down the aisle is definitely an important factor.

#2 Begin a Budget

The location you select will help you to start mapping out a budget for your Jamaica destination wedding. One reason that beachside ceremonies are so popular is due to the fact that the gorgeous natural setting requires little more décor.

The surreal surroundings provide the perfect setting for starting the next chapter of your lives on their own, so spending grand amounts of money to decorate it isn’t really required.

However, you will need to have a bottom line amount you are comfortable with spending. All of the following are costs that you need to consider as part of big day budget:

• Venue

• Flights and other transportation needs

• Hotel accommodations

• Food

• Officiant

• Flowers

• Cake

• Entertainment

• Hair/makeup

• Dress/clothing for the wedding party

• Chairs, tables, and other décor/setup needs

• Servers

• On-site or off-site excursions

As you can see, the list of financial responsibilities can add up quickly. For these reasons, brides who dream of an Indian destination wedding in Jamaica often opt for enlisting the services of a wedding planning company to coordinate their all-inclusive wedding.

#2 Consider an All-Inclusive Wedding Package

If you’re sorting through different Jamaica wedding packages, all-inclusive options are your best bet. They save you time, money, and sanity—think of it as a one-stop shop for all of your big day details.

Wedding planning businesses that partner with top resorts to offer these destination weddings in Jamaica operate a smooth, seamless process that includes unbeatable discounted rates on aspects of your wedding for in-house and offsite vendors.

They typically have established professional relationships and business agreements with these top-notch vendors (think DJs, photographers, florists, caterers, and more) that allow them to offer discounted rates and added perks that you may not be able to score when coordinating your destination wedding plans on your own.

#3 Enlist the Help of an On-Site Coordinator

Securing the services of an on-site coordinator is another wedding planning tip that can help you feel more connected to your destination wedding site in Jamaica.

Someone who is actually there and in-person to manage the vendors, site, and other arrangements can be a huge relief when you’re planning a ceremony in a location that you can’t feasibly travel to on a regular basis.

It takes the guesswork (and lots of potential stress!) out of the planning process, which is something you definitely want to be as stress-free and hassle-free as possible so that you can enjoy this fleeting time in your life as much as you can.

#4 Book the Best Resort in Jamaica

If you’ve chosen a location for hosting your destination wedding in Jamaica, or need to pare down your options to the specific spot that offers everything you need, you need to book the best resort in Jamaica for all of your destination wedding needs.

Having your all-inclusive, Jamaica destination wedding at a renowned resort offers you the option to keep all of your guests and wedding party participants in one hotel, as well as easy, quick access to a variety of restaurants, recreation, and, especially, the wedding venue.

It’s just one more way to add to the hassle-free, smooth sailing vibe of your relaxing destination wedding. This is also a way to have your wedding, vacation, and honeymoon in one!

Although any spot in Jamaica is full of natural beauty, culture, and delectable cuisine, consider the following remarkable resorts for getting hitched in style:

Montego Bay—the beautiful beaches of Montego Bay are home to the romantic Hyatt ZivaRosehall resort. Get married right next to the water or in an exclusive oceanfront gazebo.

• Ocho Rios—Moon Palace Jamaica is your perfect family-friendly pick, with over 700 rooms and located five minutes from action-packed downtown Ocho Rios.

• Negril—Visit Azul Beach Resort Negril for exclusive perks, including a guarantee that you’ll be the only wedding party on-site the day before, the day of, and the day after your ceremony.

The choice is yours to make! Start browsing today to find the right resort for your unforgettable Jamaican destination wedding.
