3. Make It Easy for Your Guests

Planning a destination wedding means helping your guests enjoy a stress-free experience. Here are some tips for making the process easier:

• Send Save-the-Dates Early: Give your guests plenty of time to plan by sending out save-the-dates at least six months in advance.

• Group Travel and Accommodation: Consider booking group rates for flights and reserving rooms in nearby accommodations for guests who can’t stay on the property.

• Plan Events Around the Wedding: Create an itinerary for the week leading up to your wedding, including welcome dinners, island tours, or beach days, so guests can enjoy the best of Grand Cayman.

4. Consider Legal Requirements

The Cayman Islands make it relatively easy for non-residents to get married, but it's important to understand the legal requirements:

• Marriage License: You’ll need to apply for a Cayman Islands marriage license, which can be obtained from the Marriage Officer at the Civil Registry.

• Documents: Make sure to bring valid passports and any required legal documents, such as divorce decrees if applicable.

• Ceremony Officiants: Our team can help you arrange for an officiant to perform your ceremony, whether you prefer a civil service or a religious ceremony.

Conclusion: A destination wedding in the Cayman Islands offers an idyllic setting for a once-in-a-lifetime celebration. With Luxury Cayman Villas and our partners, you’ll enjoy the perfect venue, bespoke services, and a stress-free planning process, allowing you to focus on making memories. Ready to start planning?
