So don’t get your panties in a bunch yet… We’re considering a few options for our wedding ceremony location. North Conway, NH, Rockport, MA, Ambergris Caye, Belize, etc. There are many perks to having a wedding in Belize for us.

1. It was our first romantic getaway. The planning and building this site was a huge part of the first half year-year Courtney and I were together. We really enjoyed Belize, and granted I have only also now been to the Grand Cayman, I was not nearly as impressed with Grand Cayman as I was Belize. What would be better than incorporating our love for travel into our wedding celebrations?

2. Having a destination wedding would allow for us to spend more time with family and friends. Instead of having a large ceremony/reception here in the New England Area- all of our guests would have probably about 30 seconds to congratulate us and that’s it. Sounds really meaningful to me. (kidding) It sounds like such a better option to have a few days with friends and family- doing activities together, having good conversations, creating more memories, etc. We had such a great time in Belize, that we know we wouldn’t let down our family and friends having a wedding in Belize.

3. Sun, ocean and the jungle. Loads of activities, loads of culture and loads of fun. Not to mention incredibly beautiful!

In the past two days I contacted about 12-15 locations in Belize inquiring on wedding ceremonies/receptions (just feeling it out…) and I only heard back from one so far. ONE! I know they are on island time, but really? Weddings could bring in a lot of money and business. If I were a venue/property manager I would be responding to inquiries about weddings.

Anyways, we’ll see. To be continued….

Presenting the future Mrs. Courtney Dean! Over the weekend, Courtney popped the question and I said, “Yes!” Hopefully in the near future our travels will take us back to Belize and we can update you on more information around Belize!
