“Belize is not only the perfect place to get married; it’s also the perfect place to mini-moon while here! Because we are English speaking, every bridal couple, as well as all their guests can feel completely at ease in our laid back Central American country…without the worry of things getting “lost in translation”. We offer every visitor to Belize an incredibly diverse wedding venue selection from the Maya Mountains to tranquil beaches, from remote waterfalls to jaguar cages! All those and more are options that will satisfy the most ‘chill’ or the most adventurous bridal couple. After all the festivities, couples can then enjoy a totally divergent honeymoon right here within the borders of our topographically diverse, micro-climated jewel we call home and that you call paradise,” says Lara Goldman, wedding planner for Romantic Travel Belize.
