On March 8, 2017, Romantic Tourist magazine published an article listing their top 5 beach wedding destinations, one of which was Belize. Focusing on the breathtaking biodiversity and resplendent nature found throughout the country, The Romantic Tourist article focused on the Placencia Peninsula on the southeastern coast of Belize.
Referring to the peninsula’s motto of “Barefoot Perfect,” The Romantic Tourist highlighted the gorgeous views of the Caribbean Sea, the lagoons, and islands as the perfect complement to the country with the world’s most untouched rainforests, giving couples a dream setting to tie the knot in a tropical paradise.
According to The Romantic Tourist, one of the most beautiful and romantic places to enjoy a storybook wedding in Belize is at Chabil Mar. Located on the golden shores of the Placencia Peninsula in southeastern Belize, Chabil Mar is a picturesque beachfront resort with a lush tropical garden, majestic villas, and award-winning services that include assistance with wedding planning and arranging for honeymoon excursions.

The resort’s name, Chabil Mar, means “Beautiful Sea” in the ancient Maya language, and the article highlighted just what an appropriate name it is for this stunning resort that features more than 400 feet of private beach and the beautiful backdrop of the Caribbean Sea. The Romantic Tourist article also mentioned how the Placencia Peninsula is the country’s leader in eco-tourism, combining sustainable tourism practices with a strong commitment towards preserving the environment.
The Romantic Tourist article mentioned just how simple it is for couples to get married in the country. Local law stipulates that both the bride and groom must be in the country for three days prior to the wedding in order to file for a wedding license. Within two working days, the license is approved, and a registered Justice of the Peace or ordained minister can then perform the ceremony. And considering that Belize is the only country in the region where English is the official language, couples getting married in Belize won’t have to translate their wedding certificate once they return home.
The Romantic Tourist was founded in 2011 by a real-life couple named Chloe and Jason who fell head over heels in love and then had to plan a wedding in an exotic honeymoon destination but were frustrated with the lack of clear information and the inability to find the right venue. After successfully pulling off their dream wedding, they vowed to assist other couples who wanted to find exactly the right venue along with the right package of experiences, including accommodations and honeymoon excursions.
