Destination weddings are on the rise, a trend fueled by the desire for more intimate and meaningful celebrations. Many couples are realizing that a smaller, more personal wedding in a romantic setting can be just as special, if not more so, than a traditional large ceremony. This shift in preference has contributed to a surge in destination weddings, particularly in Belize, now known as the emerging romance capital of Central America. For those in pursuit of a paradise-like setting, Belize is only a few hours from the U.S., offering the perfect backdrop for a memorable wedding.
