WHY DO I NEED A PLANNER?

A planner can help you save time, money and many sleepless nights. Having a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced planner to call on will ease stress and provide you with the guidance you will need. In a nutshell, a planner will double as your wedding planner and wedding best friend.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEDDING PLANNER AND A VENUE COORDINATOR?

Even if your venue comes with a coordinator, it is important to know that a venue coordinator is not the same as a wedding planner. Although both terms are often used interchangeably, their roles in your wedding are distinctively different. The coordinator handles aspects of your wedding directly linked to the venue, whiles the planner has the responsibility to plan and coordinate every single aspects of the wedding, including the venue.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A LEGAL WEDDING IN JAMAICA?

To get married on the beautiful and highly sought-after island of Jamaica, the bride and groom are expected to arrive on the island at least 24-48 hours prior to the wedding. Unlike many other countries, a blood test is not required. However, you are required to provide notarized copies of the following documents, which should be presented in English:

·       Birth Certificates of both bride and groom

·       Government issued Photo ID

·       Divorce Decree (if applicable)

·       Death Certificate (if applicable)

Your wedding planner will request these documents to be sent via courier service at least 30-60 days prior to your wedding day for processing.

After your wed­ding cer­e­mony, you will receive a Minister’s Cer­tifi­cate from the officiant, then you will be sent 2 cer­ti­fied copies of the Minister’s Cer­tifi­cates around 4-6 weeks after your wedding by post.

PS. Marriages in Jamaica are recognized as legal all over the world.
