My daughter just decided that she wants to get married in Grand Cayman, so we're in the planning phase for her wedding next August. I'm super interested to hear how things went for those who have already been through this! I'm helping her with the planning and research. We're trying to decide if we go through carnival weddings or an on island wedding planner (getting quotes from the Ritz and Grand Old House). I'm worried about tendering and how Carnival will get guests on the island for the pre-arranged transportation to the wedding venue. Did y'all have your receptions on the island or back on the ship? Any info and tips/recommendations would be great! Thanks :)

So I chose an island wedding planner - http://www.caymanislandsweddingsandevents.com/mobile/ however our cruise is in April which is supposedly good weather. If I was going during hurricane season though, I would've gone through Carnival because it's guaranteed. Going through the wedding planner, it's way cheaper and you get the digital pictures INCLUDED. Through Carnival, I heard it's potentially hundreds if not thousands for the pictures which is over and above what they already charge. Ours is just going to be a very simple ceremony on the beach, hopefully we'll have some time for sightseeing and I made reservations for everyone at the steakhouse that night back on board but I didn't want any big to-do typical wedding stuff anyways.

Oh...duh!!! Sorry I'm just a little anxious! Enjoy!:hearteyes:

So how did the wedding go???

We're also getting married at Smiths Cove in Grand Cayman from a Carnival ship but in April 2018 except we're going through a private wedding planner instead of Carnival's. I've been wondering the same thing about getting ready beforehand, wearing the dress etc. Hopefully you get some answers before you set sail to help us both out! Good luck!!!
