Getting Married in Cayman? Six Tips for Stay over Visitors

June 10, 2016

Today, the Caribbean Islands are fast becoming a trendy location for those planning to say ‘I do’ to the person of their dreams. Many couples choose Caribbean destination weddings over traditional weddings because these are less stressful and more convenient at the same time.

If you are planning to get married on a Caribbean island, then the Cayman Islands, which consist of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman, offer a wonderful tropical setting for truly romantic weddings. Indeed, the islands are blessed with incredible natural beauty such as beautiful coral reefs, sandy white beaches, and crystal clear waters. This makes Cayman an alluring and fascinating destination for anyone who would like to get married here.

Destination Cayman

Hence, it comes as no surprise that each year; more than 600 couples from various countries around the world arrive in the Cayman Islands to get married. Many couples choose Grand Cayman, but others also prefer tranquil and serene locations in Cayman Brac and Little Cayman to get married.   Usually, visitors arrive by cruise ship and prefer to get married on island while their ship is in port. However, many couples even stay over after their wedding in the Cayman Islands for their honeymoon or an extended vacation.  Here, we offer a few tips for stay over couples in Cayman.

1. Visit the Top Attractions: Since the Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory, the culture and ambience here is very British, but combined with a traditional Caribbean and Caymanian flair.  Every couple surely feels special and extraordinary when they come to this distinguished island to get married. You will especially enjoy traditional hospitality while you visit the many attractions on the island such as Seven Mile Beach, Sting Ray City, Queen Elizabeth II Royal Botanic Park, and others. You can also make others back home feel envious that you were married in the Cayman Islands!
