Wedding Services

Getting married in Belize is very easy, and our wedding planner will be there to help you every step of the way! Civil ceremonies are in the tradition of British Common Law. There is no need to register your marriage when you return home as your Belizean wedding is legal and is recognized in all other countries.

Our wedding planner will arrange your marriage license and the formal registration of your marriage. We also assist in arranging everything else, from the cake to the flowers to the music and all the special touches to make your special day a memorable and perfect one! 

Whether you choose to use the breezes to your advantage and wear your hair down or let a long veil flutter beautifully, or if you want to keep every hair in place with a half-up bridal hairstyle, wedding braid or classic curly up-do, our hairdresser can help you find the perfect hairstyle! Natural or romantic make-up styles are recommended for the humid weather, but classic and dramatic makeup is not a problem for our beautician.

Our wedding planner is happy to arrange a meeting with the hair dresser/makeup artist before the ceremony to ensure that you get the perfect look for your photos.

Our Wedding Packages include tropical bridal bouquets with matching boutonniere. These tropical arrangements are made up of red gingers, pink gingers, and bird of paradise. However, you can upgrade to different types of flowers such as roses, cymbidium orchids, calla lilies, gladiolas, tiger lilies etc. We do all we can to acquire your desired choice of flowers; however, we ask you to kindly provide us with alternate options as well. Bear in mind that all flowers are seasonal and imported weekly. The price is dependent on the type of flowers and the country of origin.

Portofino Beach Resort Belize is a small property and therefore we typically cater to a maximum of 70 guests for a wedding ceremony and reception. We offer an a la carte option from Portofino Restaurant’s menu for groups of 10 & under. For groups larger than 10, we offer a casual Belizean BBQ or a customized plated menu prepared with all different menu options for you to choose from.

From a Belizean island-themed beach BBQ to an elegant or casual beach dinner, our Wedding Planner and resort team will assist you with making your reception stress-free and filled with personalized details that reflect your style.

We are happy to assist in making excellent recommendations for wedding photographers in Belize.
