How much does it cost to get married in Jamaica?

Jamaica is one of the most affordable places for a destination wedding in the world. Prices for weddings in Jamaica range based on the resort you choose and what sort of wedding you want. If you want a low-key affair with just a few close friends and family members, many Jamaica resorts offer complimentary wedding packages if you stay there for a minimum number of nights (usually at least 3). All you need to pay for are your room nights, a government licensing and an administration fee of $250, and any extras you want to add to the package. Here are some examples of destination wedding packages offered by resorts in Jamaica.

What is the best month to get married in Jamaica?

December to April are the best months to get married in Jamaica in terms of having good weather. The ideal times are November to December and mid-April to May; because that is the shoulder season, both prices and crowds are less. In the summer, the weather is hotter and rainier, and you run the risk of hurricanes, but prices are lower.
