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
Foreigners can now get married in Belize more easily than ever. The process is rather simple. Filling out the application for a marriage license is easy, and most resorts will handle all the procedures for you. At least three days before your wedding, you and your partner must go to Belize. The Registrar General's Office in Belize City is where you go to get a marriage license. You and your partner must provide proof of citizenship by presenting either a valid passport that shows the date of entry into Belize or an authentic birth certificate. You and your spouse must also provide a death certificate or divorce decree if either of you is widowed or divorced. If you are above the age of 18, you don't need to have a blood test or acquire your parents' permission. Getting married is the next stage. It is vital to remember that your marriage in Belize will be legal and recognized around the world as long as you complete the right steps.

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.
