Things To Do in Belize

If you are a nature lover, Belize is your destination.  This destination offers the best snorkeling, diving, caves for exploration where you can see remnants of the Maya world.  With such an abundance of nature, you do not have to worry about a ‘backdrop’ for your big day.  Nature provides it all.   And of course you can hit the gaming tables at night if you do have time for such frivolit.

Cuisine of Belize

Dining in Belize is a relatively casual affair and of course tipping is at your own discretion.  Great food: reasonable prices: and an abundance of nature.

Marriage Requirements for Belize

First of all, your marriage in Belize will be valid internationally.

  • Both parties must be in Belize at least three days before applying for a marriage license.
  • Forms can be obtained from two locations: General Registry, Supreme Court Building, Belize City and Attorney General Office, Belmopan.
  • Forms must be completed and signed in the presence of a Justice of the Peace (J.P.). Ask for J.P.s in your area.
