Ocho Rios is one of Jamaica’s most visited regions and where you will find great beaches, all kinds of different resort options and lots of tours and activities. It is busier than Negril and on par with Montego Bay when it comes to action. It is approximately a two hours drive east from the Montego Bay Airport. Dunn’s River Falls, Jamaica bob sledding and Ziplining are some of the many local excursions to experience here!
Most ships dock at the cruise-ship terminal on Ocho Rios Bay (the UDC Port), on the west side of town, just off the main coastal road. Others berth just west of the cruise-ship terminal at Reynolds Pier. Some of the larger ships anchor off the coast and take passengers to the terminal in smaller craft, though this is only done in instances where there are two to three large ships in port at the same time.

Every day is the best day to have a destination wedding in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. Ocho Rios is gorgeous, and this magnificence reflects in the weather. Of course, there are times of the year that are a little more ideal weather-wise in Jamaica. Peak weather and travel season are usually between December to June. Ocho Rios lies on the North Coast of Jamaica. And it’s home to many rivers, waterfalls, and even rainforests. But, of course, this lush jungle tropical vibe does not happen without a bit of rain. And therefore having a wedding during these peak times will lend itself to the least odds of rain and tropical storms. If you work within a tighter overall budget, you may want to consider less peak-season travel. After all, the stunning Caribbean Sea will be waiting for you all year long. And so will the beautiful beaches of Ocho Rios. If you decide to go during the summer, July can be cheaper. Keep in mind the summer months can be more humid. Therefore we recommend getting married later in the day. And your chosen all-inclusive sand beach will provide those lovely ocean breezes to cool down your beloved guests while you exchange vows under the beautiful Jamaica sun. November is also a great time to enjoy a destination wedding in Ocho Rio’s Jamaica. Less occupancy at all-inclusive resorts means more savings for you and your guests. When you marry in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, you choose an experience, not just a wedding. Something you both will cherish for a lifetime. We know Ocho Rios weddings inside and out. We are ready to help you plan your dream wedding in beautiful sunny Jamaica!
Let’s face it, brides, one of the most essential aspects of your destination wedding is photography! And, of course, you’ll want to ensure your Ocho Rios wedding photographer understands your wedding photography wish list to a tee. Jamaica offers some of the best wedding photographers in the Caribbean. Many premier Jamaican-based photographers can be found right within your chosen all-inclusive resort. Our best tip is to first check with your wedding venue to see who their in-house wedding photographers are. Ask to see some of their work. And if you are satisfied with their work, you are set. There are additionally local photographers within Jamaica that you can hire. Be sure to check with your all-inclusive Ocho Rios resort regarding their policies around photographers and, in addition, their outside vendor fees. These fees can add up, especially if your chosen photographer needs an assistant. A popular and alternative option is to bring a local photographer from home. That can help avoid vendor fees and provide that extra time for a “trash the Dress” session if you choose. Our favorite advice surrounding your Ocho Rios destination wedding is to ensure your photographer takes advantage of those beautiful Caribbean Sea photos. Ocho Rios has some of the most beautiful sand beaches in Jamaica. Develop your shot list to have as many gorgeous Jamaica sunset beach photos as possible. Jamaican weather usually is very favorable for getting those once-in-a-lifetime beach pictures. They will surely bring you both smiles for a lifetime!
Your Ocho Rios destination will undoubtedly be full of fun and romance. But let’s face it; food is a significant component of all wedding festivities.

You’ll want to think outside the box to create a menu even your most discerning guests will talk about for years. Your Jamaica destination wedding on-site planner will have great suggestions and options. Finger food such as bacon-wrapped plantains or conch fritters are local favorites and to die for delicious. Take advantage of the freshest seafood from the Caribbean Sea during your beautiful Ocho Rios sand beach reception.
