Planning a destination wedding abroad often comes with logistical hurdles. Language barriers, alone, can make communications more difficult, and couples need to make sure they enlist the help of a wedding planner who is experienced in bridging that gap. However, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman specializes in creating a seamless wedding planning process from start to finish.

Being located on an island paradise, most of the property’s signature activities involve spending time in or around the water. Between wedding weekend activities, guests may choose to partake in bioluminescent kayaking, underwater scooters, snorkeling, visiting Starfish Point and Stingray City, or taking a romantic sunset sail.
“For those seeking an eco-adventure,” Cynthia adds, “our Ambassadors of the Environment program allows guests to learn about conservation efforts through interactive eco-tours such as snorkeling among coral reefs, kayaking through mangrove forests, or visiting the endangered Cayman Blue Iguana Recovery Program.”
