Jamaica wedding cost calculator

These are estimates, not a quote. Numbers below are rough US-dollar ranges for planning, last reviewed in November 2026. They are drawn from publicly listed resort package starting prices and the official Minister’s Marriage Licence stamp duty (J$4,000, subject to change, on the Ministry of Justice page). Flights, hotel rooms, hair and makeup, photography, flowers beyond a basic package, and guest meals are often extra. Always confirm the current figure with the resort, planner or government office.

About US$1,000 – US$3,000

What the range is trying to show

For a legal wedding, budget at least the official stamp duty of J$4,000 (about US$25 at a rate of J$157 to US$1 — rates move; this is not a live FX feed). Some resorts also list a separate government or administration fee; Couples Resorts, for example, published a US$250 mandatory processing fee on its wedding-package page, not included in the package price, and noted that vow renewals are treated differently. That figure is subject to change and may not apply at other properties.

Publicly advertised all-inclusive packages for two people can start in the hundreds of US dollars; mid-size guest lists are often several thousand; larger celebrations climb from there. Villa and private-estate weddings are too variable to price from a resort menu, so the calculator uses a wider band and we will quote only after we know the venue.
