The Brief
A 50-guest symbolic destination wedding over four nights at Moon Palace Jamaica in spring 2027. Jamaica versus Mexico for destination weddings is a recurring decision — Jamaica wins on lush mountain-meets-sea scenery and a different cultural experience for guests, often loses on direct-flight access for couples whose guest lists are concentrated in western Canada or western US.
For an East-Coast and Midwest-heavy guest list, Jamaica works as well as Cancún and offers a fundamentally different aesthetic.
Why Moon Palace Jamaica
Moon Palace's Jamaica property sits in Ocho Ríos, on the north shore. For a 50-guest spring wedding:
- Beach and cliffside venues — Jamaica's coastline offers ceremony backdrops you can't replicate on Cancún's flatter beaches
- Palace's wedding program — same coordinator team experience as the Mexico Palace properties, applied to Jamaica
- Smaller property scale — Moon Palace Jamaica is smaller than the Mexico flagships, which works well for a 50-guest wedding
- All-inclusive scope — spring rates with full all-inclusive included
The Four-Day Schedule
- Day 1 — Arrival: Welcome cocktail at the resort
- Day 2: Resort day, optional Dunn's River Falls excursion
- Day 3 — Ceremony day: Symbolic ceremony at the beach or cliffside, cocktail hour, plated reception with DJ
- Day 4 — Departure: Farewell brunch
What DreamWed Coordinated
- Group flight contracts into Montego Bay (MBJ) — the closest major airport with the resort's transfer arrangement
- Resort group room block negotiation
- Ceremony venue selection (beach vs. cliffside vs. garden)
- Vendor coordination — florals, photography, DJ in Ocho Ríos
- Optional excursion booking (Dunn's River Falls is a standard add-on)
- On-site DreamWed coordinator for ceremony day
