Marrying Here The Cayman Islands make having a destination wedding a breeze. Non-residents can wed the day they arrive as long as they have a non-residents marriage license and a letter from the authorized Marriage Officer set to officiate. You’ll also need proof of citizenship and age (18 is the minimum legal age) and proof of marital status, plus $250 for the marriage license itself. The country is home to a host of talented wedding vendors who can work directly with you or with the international wedding planner of your choice. Most Importantly
Cayman Brac Only about 3,000 residents call this island home, which is exactly the appeal for visitors. It’s a popular weekend-vacay spot for upscale Caymanians and a low-key escape for international visitors looking for sea and sky. This long, skinny isle (approximately 12 by 1 miles) is named after its most notable physical feature, a bluff (“brac” in Gaelic) that at its highest point towers 140 feet above sea level. Cayman Brac is home to a few small hotels, most notably Soleil D’Or and Cayman Brac Beach Club . Scuba diving is big here, with divers lured by steep drop-offs and the wreck of the MV Captain Keith Tibbets. But it’s not just water; the bluff has become a popular rock-climbing spot, and birders can sight an estimated 120 species, including peregrine falcons, brown boobys and the local Cayman parrot.
Little Cayman Situated 60 miles north of Grand Cayman and five miles west of Cayman Brac, the appropriately named Little Cayman is the smallest of the trio; only about 170 people call it home. Scuba divers come from all over the world to see sites like Bloody Bay (a sheer vertical wall) and Jackson’s Bight , and take in the abundant sea life from sharks to sea turtles. Most stay at Little Cayman Beach Club or Southern Cross Club, or visit via dive-centric liveaboards that sail around the islands. The island is home to the largest red- footed booby rookery in the Caribbean.
Getting Here The Cayman Islands have their own national airline, Cayman Airways, which flies to U.S. mainland cities on a seasonal basis, along with Caribbean nations of Cuba, Honduras and Jamaica. The country is also served by numerous major airlines, notably American, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and United from the U.S., Air Canada and WestJet from Toronto; and British Airways from London. Cayman Airways Express serves the smaller isles with multiple daily flights from Grand Cayman.
