If you are thinking of planning a large destination wedding in Montego Bay, Jamaica, you have selected one of the best locations to do so. Destination weddings have become the most popular section of the wedding industry in the last few years, and there are many locations in Montego Bay (and elsewhere across Jamaica) that cater to those needs. Gathering all of your friends and family in such a beautiful location is certainly appealing, and given that Jamaica is relatively accessible and economical, it is likely you will have many people RSVP to your wedding.
Planning any wedding may feel like a daunting experience, but with Montego Bay, it doesn’t have to be. It is also less expensive than planning a wedding at home. Plus, there are many all-inclusive wedding packages and some resorts offer free weddings if you meet certain group requirements.
Of course, there is also an added bonus of having a super relaxing wedding. You and your guests will be able to sip your drinks on the beach before watching you walk down the aisle, and party the night away amongst the Reggae-inspired nightlife. In general, there is a more laid-back atmosphere that wedding guests will appreciate.

Things To Consider When Planning A Large Destination Wedding
There are some very basic things you need to consider when you are planning a large destination wedding. Primarily, you need to ensure that the venue you choose will be big enough for your party. The larger your wedding gets, the fewer options you may have. Even so, Jamaica is a popular location for destination weddings, so there are plenty of resorts that can host up to 500+ guests for your wedding. Still, you want to consider the types of people coming to your wedding and what they will enjoy – do they just want to relax with a drink or do they want adventure? Will they bring children? What types of amenities do they want?
Once you’ve established your numbers, you may also want to think about transportation. In a place like Jamaica, which has a booming tourist economy, there are plenty of flights onto the island. Some of the smaller Caribbean islands will have trouble getting everyone there on time for a price that they can afford, which is why Montego Bay is so ideal.
You may also want to consider the guests themselves. You absolutely want grandma to attend, but will she be okay walking on the sand to get to your wedding? How about the heat? Consider our seasonality guide for more insights.
