Jamaica's All-Inclusive
Resorts: Leaders In
Destination Weddings - By Chris Morton
Long before destination weddings were the
rage, couples were
quietly flying down to Jamaica for romantic beachside
ceremonies. The all-inclusive resorts on the former British
island have been catering to wedding - and honeymoon - couples
for decades and have perfected the destination wedding to an
art form. The island's resorts range from the casual to the
elegant to the slightly risqué. Consider one of the following
for your wedding or honeymoon:
Sandals Resorts
With seven resorts on Jamaica, guests of Sandals can enjoy the
historic south shore of the island, active Montego Bay, or the
casual atmosphere and seven-mile white sand beach at Negril.
These couples-only resorts include everything: accommodations,
all meals, premium drinks, golf, land and water sports, scuba,
transportation to and from the airport, and all tips and taxes.
One of the innovators in destination weddings, Sandals offers a
wide range of options for bridal couples and each couple is
assisted by a designated wedding planner. The basic Sandals
wedding package, which is free to couples staying seven nights
or longer, includes a picturesque location for the ceremony, a
marriage license and all of the necessary documentation, one
5"x7" wedding photograph, a wedding officiant, a wedding cake,
a Champagne and hors d'oeuvres reception for four, flowers for
the bride and groom, a gourmet honeymoon dinner, and breakfast
in bed the morning after the wedding.
Additional features may be added, including music, additional
flowers, and additional photography. Sandals also has an
exclusive agreement with Preston Bailey, party planner to the
stars, and offers three of his elegant coordinated wedding
packages.
SuperClubs
SuperClubs operates a diverse collection of Jamaican resorts,
each with their own emphasis and flavor. All resorts include
accommodations, meals, drinks, land and water activities,
scuba, tennis, golf, use of the fitness facility,
transportation to and from the airport, and taxes all in one
price.
SuperClubs has been hosting destination weddings for over 30
years and each of the company's resorts has onsite wedding
planners to assist with all of the special details. SuperClubs
also offers a free basic wedding package to couples staying at
least three nights at one of their resorts. The basic package
includes the marriage license, preparation of all the necessary
documentation, minister fees, recorded music for the ceremony,
witnesses if necessary, Champagne, a decorated wedding area, a
wedding cake, flowers for the bride and groom, a candlelit
dinner for the bride and groom, and breakfast in bed for the
wedding couple on the morning after the wedding.
SuperClubs in Jamaica all have their own personality. These
resorts include:
. The Grand Lido - The flagship of the SuperClubs brand, the
Grand Lido Resort sits on 22 acres of tropical gardens at the
edge of Negril's famous Seven-Mile Beach. The resort is a
consistent award-winner and holds the AAA four-diamond
distinction.
. Hedonism II - The somewhat risqué Hedonism II bills itself as
a modern Garden of Eden. Among its many features, the relaxed
and casual resort boasts two beaches - one of which is
"clothing optional."
. Negril Beach Villa - This self-contained Spanish-style villa,
located right on Negril's Seven Mile Beach, is ideal for housing
the entire wedding party. The villa comes with its own cook,
gardener, and butler to cater to your every need.
The lush tropical landscape and friendly people of Jamaica make
the island an ideal honeymoon or wedding destination. Enjoy its
many beaches, shopping for unique art and crafts, and the
singular - and spicy - Jamaican cuisine.
