Cayman Islands Wedding Planning Tips :: Time of year

Love does not wait for anyone, we all know this. Neither does work, life and a million other things that may dictate when exactly you get married. However, one very frequent question I am asked is “what is the best time of year to get married in Cayman?” I’ll break it down for you…
December through May is “dry season” and June through November is “rainy season”. Let’s start with “dry season”. You really can’t go wrong here, the temperatures are cooler, we have a nice breeze throughout the island and some days it even gets COLD (well, for us, cold is about 78 degrees). February, March and April are the absolute BEST months–gorgeous weather every day, humidity is not too bad and, well, it’s pretty close to perfect.
Rainy season is, well, a bit more wet. Thankfully we don’t have endless days of constant rain–typically it’s a shower that lasts 30 minutes to an hour at some point during the day. Not do be a Debbie-Downer, but as you get closer to September/October, there is more risk of tropical storms and hurricanes, just so you know. The temperature is nearing 100 degrees every day and humidity is high, so keep that in mind when selecting your wedding venue. Your guests will love you if your dinner reception and dancing is inside (in the air conditioning)!! Also, take this into account when planning the groom’s and groomsmen’s attire for the wedding. Dark suits or tuxedos may not be the best way to go.
Of course, none of us can control mother nature, so these are just guidelines! If you are planning an outdoor ceremony and/or reception always ensure you have a wet weather contingency plan. You don’t want to be left out in the rain!
Well written! I couldn’t have wrapped that up any better. It’s great that you can be so honest and tell brides that it’s not ‘perfect’ here every single day out of every single month. But we all know it is 99% of the time
Perfect D! I really love this post. I got married in the “rainy season” (June) and up to the night before my wedding it rained for two weeks straight!!! One of those tropical storms passing nearby thing. Thankfully the day of the wedding it looked as if it hadn’t rained in weeks with picture perfect blue skies, billowing clouds and light breezes, so it worked out very well for me but now I know why although in most places the wedding month is June (the beginning of warmer weather for a lot of countries), Cayman’s wedding month is April just before the wet season kicks in!
