Planning Tips

Today I thought I would give brides and grooms a few pointers for getting married in the Cayman Islands.

1. Over 90% of brides research weddings on the internet. Start by typing in “wedding”, and “Grand Cayman”, or “Cayman Islands”. You will find lots of wedding planners, and hotels with wedding planning services.

2. If you typed “getting married in Grand Cayman/Cayman Islands” you will get a list of all the requirements, but there is no need for you to go down to the marriage bureau to get your Special Marriage License, as your wedding officiant or marriage officer will do that for you at no additional cost.

3. So your first step is to find a wedding planner, or a wedding officiant. Some full service companies like my company Simply Weddings, provide both.

4. A wedding planner or wedding consultant is an intelligent choice for a destination wedding, since he or she will know the best local wedding vendors and can make the best deals.
