According to the Fairchild Bridal Group, the number of couples choosing a destination wedding has increased 200% in the last ten years. Jamaica is one of the most popular locations for a destination wedding. In order to entice couples to have their weddings on their grounds, many hotels and resorts offer free wedding packages throughout Jamaica.

Sandals Grande Ocho Rios
Couples looking for the most bang for their buck should look to Sandals Grande Ocho Rios in lovely Ocho Rios, Jamaica. If the bride and groom are booked in a concierge level suite or higher, their wedding is free. The wedding is also free with a group of ten rooms or more. Groups of ten rooms or more also get the wedding couple a free rehearsal dinner, complementary 30 minute cocktail reception, manicure and pedicure for the bride, massage for the groom and much more. All of the wedding themes and decor are created by Martha Stewart, including the free Beautiful Beginnings wedding theme. Upgrades are available at an additional cost. Sandals Grande Ocho Rios is an adults only resort, so you might want to look elsewhere if you have children in attendance.
