Ease of Travel: Jamaica is a short – and often direct – flight from many major cities in the U.S. Travelers from New York, for example, can expect to arrive in Jamaica in under four hours. And those coming from Miami can expect less than a two-hour flight! This leaves more time for the things that matter – like enjoying your wedding stay.
Year-Round Beach Weather: If sunny skies are what drew you to Jamaica, the tropical climate might just seal the deal. On average, Jamaica temperatures range from the mid-70s to high-80s all year round,2 and historically, the island has been less likely to get hit directly by a hurricane than other Caribbean islands.
World-Renowned Beaches: From the famous Seven Mile Beach to the tucked-away Treasure Beach, Jamaica is recognized around the world for its stunning shorelines. In fact, it was named the World's Leading Beach Destination (and Wedding Destination!) in 2018.3
Stunning, Natural Landscapes at Every Stretch: Jamaica is not only home to world-renowned beaches, but also lush rainforests and the longest mountain range in the Caribbean. For brides and grooms, this means effortlessly beautiful wedding venues, whether you wish to get married above the treetops or by the sea.
Outdoor Excursions for Both Couples and Guests: If you are a fun-loving couple set on having exciting experiences, Jamaica has a lot to offer. In addition to the usual snorkeling and scuba excursions, you'll have the opportunity to hike the Blue Mountains, climb world-famous waterfalls, zipline across the rainforest, and river-raft down the Rio Grande.
Native Flora and Natural Décor for Your Wedding Day: Part of the beauty of a destination wedding is the beauty of the destination itself. Couples do not need to spend thousands or even hundreds of dollars on décor when they have a beautiful backdrop already in place – the beach, palm trees, jungle, mountains in the background do enough justice. Jamaica is home to more than 200 orchids and 550 different kinds of ferns. One-quarter of the 3,000 plant species in Jamaica are native to the island, giving you one-of-a-kind and free décor for your wedding day.
Award-Winning Hospitality and Welcoming People: Jamaica's motto is "Out of Many, One People," which speaks to what the country is all about—its people, and friendly atmosphere which welcomes a diversity of travelers into the island they call home.
