Travel Info and Budget Tips for Your Jamaican Nuptials

It doesn't mater where in the world you're travelling, it's always wise to arm yourself with as much information as possible on your destination. This becomes even more important when planning a destination wedding as you aim to make your special day the perfect, once in a lifetime event.

A Direct Route to Paradise
Getting to Jamaica is easy. There are two international airports - the Norman Manley International in the capital city of Kingston, the Sangster International in the second city of Montego Bay. Domestic flights, car rentals, taxi or shuttle services are all available to take you to your final destination.

Requirements for Entry
Travelers to Jamaica are required to have a passport or other acceptable travel document confirming nationality and identity. All visitors to the island are also required to have a return ticket or round trip ticket to another country. Here you will find full details on entry requirements.

How's the Weather?
Jamaica is warm all year round and the most popular time to visit is between December 15 through to April 15 when persons try to escape the cold winters. However, airfare, hotel accommodations and other services tend to get more costly during this peak season and so May to November have become more ideal for couples wishing to get married in Jamaica. You're more likely to find cheaper rates and fewer crowds during these months. You can find a very comprehensive weather description for the island here.

Feel the Vibe
We recommend that you relax and embrace the outdoors. After all, Jamaica is known as the island of "sun, sand and sea". With breathtaking beaches, majestic mountains, lush tropical gardens and cascading waterfalls, there is so much fun and excitement that can be included in the activities for you and your guests.

Island Flavor
One of the surest ways to maintain that wedding budget is to create a menu for your reception using foods that are locally available on the island. From 'jerk' to curry...enjoy the exotic flavors of Jamaica including the freshest seafood and tropical fruits and vegetables. Your guest will thank you for it!

Make your stay safe and fun:

• Don't take around large amounts of cash or wear expensive jewelry on excursions.
• Keep luggage, handbag, electronic and personal items close to you and in view at all times.
• Read up on local laws and practices.
• Give friends and family your contact information and itinerary while on the island in case of emergency.
