Destination Weddings in Jamaica

A Jamaican wedding ceremony is similar to its American equivalent, as the bride wears a white dress and is escorted down the aisle by here parents. But wedding celebrations here are infused with a unique Caribbean flavor! The traditional fare to be served at the wedding reception is curried goat and rice, accompanied, of course, by rum punch. Champagne and wine are also drunk, and the festivities often last until sunrise. The wedding cake is traditionally soaked in rum, sometimes for up to a year before the event!

Jamaica is a lively tropical island with a rich artistic heritage. Music is everywhere here - reggae, calypso and soca rhythms accompany life on a daily basis. The delicious national cuisine fuses many ethnic traditions, and hot spices are tempered by coconut milk drunk straight from the shell.

The Jamaican capital, Kingston, is full of action from morning until night. Many festivals are held here every year, and the most popular attraction in the city is the Bob Marley Museum. Ocho Rios is another popular town with a harbor and a beach, where cruise ships dock regularly. Just two miles west are the famous Dunn's River Falls. Water cascades down 600 feet of limestone steps, shaded by a tropical rain forest. A visit here is unforgettable.

Montego Bay is a lively port city with an excellent nightlife and a great variety of arts and crafts. Every kind of water sport is on offer here, or you may prefer to simply lie back on one of the beaches.

The seven mile long beach at Negril is the jewel of Jamaica. It is hard to imagine an experience much more romantic than watching one of the stunning sunsets. There are also mangrove forests and a marine park nearby.

This is a unique island of overwhelming natural beauty - a Jamaican wedding will stay with you forever.
