So… you’ve found the one.

🛟 Planning Tips from a Wedding Pro (Yes, That’s Me)

Visit if you can — Jamaica’s vibe can’t be captured in photos alone. Feel the air. Smell the sea. Dance to the local band.
Mind the season — Avoid hurricane months (June–November) unless you love a dramatic backdrop. Otherwise, December–April is perfection.
Go local — Add jerk chicken to the menu. Hire a reggae band. Let your wedding feel like Jamaica.
Know the rules — Bring your passport, birth certificate, and a sense of adventure. Jamaica requires at least 24 hours in the country before the wedding.
