Legal Jamaica wedding?


Recommended Posts

Can someone lead me in the right direction? :-) If I am getting married in Jamaica but live in CA, do I apply for a CA marriage license? I am sending a required notarized copy of birth certs to Jamaica but not sure what to do? I want this legal! lol...

You can have a legal wedding in Jamaica if you want to. You only have to be in Jamaica a day or 2 beforehand, and have your birth certificate and divorce papers if applicable.

The other way to do it is to get married in CA first at the courthouse (you see the girls on here talking about their "legal day") and then have a symbolic wedding in Jamaica.

I'm not sure if CA is like NY but once we get married in Jamaica our marriage is legal in the state of NY as well so I do not have to do the whole court house thing. Find out from your county clerks office if A jamaica license is honored out there.

I Live in Philly Pa. I just called downtown and they gave me the OK.Other Islands are not acknowledge in the U.SI do suggest to get a extra copy of license just in case something happen to the one you will receive from Jamaica.Give it to either one of your parent of someone that you can trust.Then you won't be running rapid

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
