Why it fits you
If you want your wedding to feel polished and romantic without turning guest travel into a puzzle, Grand Cayman fits beautifully. You can also have a legal ceremony there, and November and December are the sweet spot for timing.

Visa
No visa required
Visitors marry under a Special Marriage Licence (about CI$200 / US$250) from the Passport and Corporate Services Office in George Town; it can be issued the day you arrive, with no waiting period and no minimum stay. Bring passports, proof of legal entry (your immigration card), evidence of single status (divorce decree or death certificate if applicable), and a letter from a licensed Cayman Marriage Officer, whom you book before arrival. Two witnesses are required (your officer can supply them). The Cayman marriage certificate is recognized in the US with no apostille needed.
Marriage laws and document requirements change. Confirm with your planner or the country's consulate before you book.
A feel for the resort scene - nothing to book yet. Most couples pick their resort with their planner's help, about 10 months out.
