GETTING MARRIED IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS (Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac,
Little Cayman)
Getting married in the Cayman Islands is fast and easy with Heart of
Cayman Weddings. Couples can marry the same day they arrive in the
Cayman Islands, including those arriving by cruise ship. There is no
longer a 72 hour waiting period, unlike the other popular Caribbean
Wedding Destinations. All packages can be easily customized to
include transportation to and from the cruise ship pier.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:
Heart of Cayman can take care of all your legal requirements,
including securing the services of a Marriage Officer and getting
the Cayman Islands Marriage License. Heart of Cayman will fax the
blank form to you to be filled out, or if you wish, we can mail it
to you. Mail takes about 7-14 days to North America. The application
fee for the License, including stamp duty, is $200 U.S. (or CI$160
in Cayman Islands Dollars).
The Marriage License application form requires:
Full names of the Bride and Groom, permanent addresses in your
country of residence and occupations of both parties, and your
temporary address in the Cayman Islands. The names of the Bride's
and Groom's father are also required, even though the application
form doesn't specify. Prior to your arrival on Grand Cayman, we will
make arrangements for the Marriage Officer to meet with you at a
convenient time, at your hotel/condo or at the cruise ship pier, to
discuss the ceremony and sort out the final details for the Marriage
License. Both parties must sign the Application form. The License
can be obtained on the same day of application.
Couples will also need to provide the following when applying for a
Marriage License:
The Cayman Islands international embarkation/disembarkation card
showing proof of entry. Visitors arriving by air receive this from
Immigration upon arrival into the Cayman Islands. Cruise ship
passengers may present their Sail and Sign Card to show they are
legally in port.
Valid passports or certified copies of birth certificates along with
photo identification. The minimum legal age to marry without
parental consent is 18 years of age. In the case of previously
married individuals, original or certified copies of the divorce
decree or death certificate (if spouse has died) are required. These
may be faxed in advance, but you will still need to bring the
original or certified copies with you.
Two witnesses should be present at the ceremony. Hearts of Cayman's
exclusive wedding and reception packages provide two witnesses.
However, you may provide your own.
