are a few requirements you need. Even though by law the wedding
couple only needs to be here 24 hours in advance (not including day
of arrival), we would advise you to come at least 3 days in advance
to meet with the wedding coordinator and Marriage officer and go
through the final details regarding the wedding. Symbolic and nonlegal ceremonies allow flexibility for arrival date. Please speak with the
wedding coordinator to discuss requirements.
The law requires that the Bride and Groom are in Jamaica for a
minimum of 24 hours prior (not including arrival day) to the wedding.

Jamaica. The bride and groom must present their wedding certificate
