When it comes to planning your dream destination wedding, the perfect location sets the stage for everything. Picture turquoise waters, swaying palm trees, and the sun setting behind you as you say “I do.” Now imagine doing all of that in a place that’s not only breathtakingly beautiful but also incredibly easy to navigate, legally simple, and surprisingly affordable.


Welcome to Belize—Central America’s hidden gem and one of the most magical places on earth to tie the knot.



Every wedding in Belize is a destination wedding!

1. Unmatched Natural Beauty

Belize offers an incredible range of wedding backdrops. Love the ocean? Exchange vows barefoot on a white-sand beach, with the world’s second-largest barrier reef just offshore. Want something more adventurous? Imagine a romantic ceremony amid the lush greenery of the rainforest or at the top of an ancient Maya temple overlooking the jungle canopy.

Whether you’re dreaming of a tropical island escape, a jungle-chic elopement, or a barefoot boho beach celebration, Belize delivers.


2. English-Speaking & Traveler-Friendly

One of the most reassuring things for couples planning from abroad? Belize’s official language is English. No language barriers mean no confusion, no mistranslations, and a much smoother planning process.

Plus, Belize is just a short flight from many major U.S. and Canadian cities. Direct flights from hubs like Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, and Toronto mean your guests won’t need multiple connections or a passport full of stamps just to attend your big day.


3. Easy Marriage Laws

Unlike many other tropical destinations, Belize makes it refreshingly simple for foreign couples to get legally married. After just three days in the country, you can apply for a marriage license, and most of the paperwork is straightforward. No residency requirements, no complex translations, and no waiting weeks for approvals.

As professional Belize wedding planners, Hitched in Belize will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring your ceremony is both beautiful and legally recognized at home.

4. Affordable Luxury

A Belize wedding offers the same tropical wow factor as more commercialized destinations—without the sky-high price tag. From all-inclusive beachfront resorts to charming boutique hotels and private villas, there’s something for every style and budget.

Local vendors, décor, and catering also come at a fraction of the cost you’d pay in North America or Europe, meaning you can stretch your wedding dollars further without sacrificing quality.


5. Unique and Romantic Ceremony Ideas

One of the best parts about getting married in Belize? The once-in-a-lifetime experiences you can build into your big day:

  • Barefoot beach ceremonies with a steel drum band playing in the background

  • Sunset catamaran receptions with champagne toasts at sea

  • Weddings at Maya ruins, surrounded by ancient history and jungle wildlife

  • Private island elopements for just the two of you

  • Cave or waterfall photo sessions for something truly unforgettable

Whatever your vision, Belize offers the perfect canvas for your love story.


6. A Honeymoon Built In

Why hop on a plane after the wedding when you’re already in paradise? Belize is the perfect place to unwind after the “I dos,” whether you're snorkeling with sea turtles, exploring rainforest trails, or sipping cocktails on the beach.

Better still, many resorts offer wedding and honeymoon packages, making it easy to combine your celebration and romantic getaway into one unforgettable trip.
