What is the attire for the wedding?
Tropical semi-formal: lightweight, colorful dresses or dressy separates for women; button-down shirts and lightweight slacks for men (jackets optional). The wedding will be on the beach, so please dress for it. Please choose footwear suitable for sand. Our priority is for you to feel comfortable and enjoy the ceremony. We do kindly ask that guests avoid wearing white or sage green.
Will it be indoors or outdoors?
The ceremony and reception will be outdoors on the beach. While February is not our rainy season, occasional showers can happen any time of the year—if needed, we have a covered backup plan in place so the celebration can continue comfortably.

What documents do I need to travel to the Cayman Islands?

What do I need to pack for sun protection?
We want you to enjoy our beautiful island to the fullest, so we recommend that you pack reef-safe sunscreen (SPF 30+), a UV-blocking rash guard, a wide-brimmed hat, polarized sunglasses, and SPF lip balm. Lightweight, long-sleeve clothing is also helpful for extended time in the sun. Please note that we are much closer to the equator than the US, so we recommend sun exposure in moderation.
Do I need to exchange currency when I arrive in Grand Cayman?

Which credit cards are accepted in Grand Cayman?
