How to Plan a St. George’s Caye Wedding
Planning a wedding on an island may sound complicated—but here, it’s refreshingly simple. Most Belize wedding resorts offer coordinated, stress-free planning assistance so you can focus on the fun parts.
Here’s how to get started:
1. Pick your wedding date
Belize enjoys warm weather year-round. The most popular months are December–May for sunny, breezy conditions. However, in the Caribbean, no month is out of the question. It is forever summer in Belize! And, you may just stumble on lower rates from June on.
2. Choose your ceremony location
St. George’s Caye offers some of the best destination wedding venues in the region, with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop, sweeping views of lush gardens, and your reception hall just steps away from any ceremony location, it is truly the ideal destination for your most special day. Say “I Do” overlooking the sea, then let us turn the oceanfront into a space to share your post-wedding party!
3. Select your wedding package
