Destination Weddings
Having a destination wedding doesn’t mean having to compromise. Only an hour south of Miami, the Cayman Islands strikes a balance between the exotic and the comfortable.
Long regarded as one of the Caribbean’s safest and most welcoming destinations, the Cayman Islands is also one of its most cosmopolitan. Cayman has a bevy of on-island wedding planners to help you realize your perfect wedding day. And our selection of service providers–from photographers and caterers to cake designers–provides a level of professionalism and sophistication unmatched in the Caribbean.
Why Cayman
For couples looking to plan an exotic island wedding, the Cayman Islands offers something few destinations can match…exquisite natural beauty infused with civility and commitment. The result is a sort of “barefoot elegance” that promises to make your special day truly remarkable. Whether you’re planning a grand, sophisticated church wedding for 200 or an intimate beachfront ceremony for two – Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac afford the locales, activities and attractions to make your experience larger than life. With a host of wedding professionals ready to help you with everything from floral arrangements to legal requirements, tying the knot in this corner of the Caribbean couldn’t be easier.
Weddings
The size and scope of a Cayman Islands’ wedding ceremony is limited only by the imagination. Couples can opt for a traditional wedding in a quaint chapel, stately church or luxury resort. To add a bit of Caymanian flavor, consider marrying amidst the pageantry of the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, beneath the gazebo at the Grand Old House, (a stately 1900’s plantation manor), or overlooking the azure waters of the Caribbean on the grounds of Pedro St. James – the birthplace of Caymanian democracy.
For a more intimate ceremony, couples can choose to marry on a stretch of sugar white sand along famed Seven Mile Beach, or just above the enchanting crystal clear water on the pier at legendary Rum Point.
Seafarers can choose to marry aboard a luxurious catamaran or set sail aboard a replica 17th century galleon for a spectacular sunset ceremony.
Those couples arriving by cruise may choose any of the above, or instead opt for a portside wedding along the cobblestone streets of historic George Town – the Cayman Island’s capital.
However and wherever you choose to tie the knot, you’ll find a venue ready, willing and able to exceed your expectations.
What is a Sand Ceremony?
The “Unity Sand” ceremony is a popular addition to our beach weddings offering. Simply put, it represents two lives blending into one. In original sand ceremonies, the bride and groom would toss handfuls of sand together into the wind. The grains combined and, unable to be separated, symbolized the unity and eternity. In today’s sand ceremony, different colors or containers of sand are used to represent each person and their respective families. The bride and groom each pour their containers of sand into one vase and bring home a keepsake of the moment they united their lives in marriage.
