Your Guide To Belize Weddings

A Destination Wedding in a Dream Location

Whether you choose to have your ceremony on a white-sand beach, in a pristine rainforest, or on a private island, tying the knot away from home gives you a chance to get married without all of the stress and money associated with planning a traditional wedding. It also has the added benefit of serving as your exotic honeymoon location. Because of this, getting married in tropical Belize, Central America has become a popular choice for many U.S. and Canadian citizens.

Wedding Location Selection

For your Very Special Day

From beach casual to jungle chic, Belize has a wide selection of wedding venues. Several of the smaller locations are charming and romantic with just the wedding services you need. Many resorts in Belize cater to those looking for wedding destinations and have lush tropical gardens, waterfronts or beaches for your ceremony. If you’re looking for something different, can even choose to have your wedding on a private island resort with views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea.

What You Need to Know to get Married in Belize

Getting married in Belize for foreigners is easier than ever. The general procedure is straight forward, the application for a marriage license is easy to fill out and most resorts take care of all the details for you. You and your partner are required to travel to Belize at least three days prior to your ceremony date. The Registrar General’s Office in Belize City handles the application for a marriage license. You and your partner must provide proof of your country’s citizenship with either a valid passport showing the date of entry into Belize or an original birth certificate. If you or your partner is widowed or divorced, you must also provide a death certificate or a divorce decree along with your application. You will not need to get a blood test or have parental consent if you’re over the age of 18. The next step is getting married. If you follow the proper protocols, it is important to note that your marriage in Belize will be legal and internationally recognized.

Choose Belizean Dreams

For Your Tropical Wedding Ceremony

If you have your heart set on a non-traditional wedding ceremony, you should specify to your hotel and resort what you envision. From the non-religious to the secular, you can have almost any kind of ceremony your heart desires. Weddings in Belize must be performed by a justice of the peace, a boat captain, or a minister of a church. If you don’t have anyone in particular in mind that you want to perform your ceremony, your resort’s wedding planner will be able to arrange the justice of the peace.
