Why Belize Is Becoming the #1 Destination for Small, Stylish Weddings in 2026

Small weddings are wildly popular these days, say editors at Brides magazine, and if you’re planning one, it’s likely that you two have determined that quality over quantity best represents your shared philosophy. But just because you won’t fill a ballroom, that doesn’t mean your yearning for a signature affair must be dismissed. In fact, smaller weddings are so much more personal; you two are showing off your wisdom.

How to make your small destination celebration a stylish affair? By using tasteful decorating touches like renting trees and floral sprays that transition venues into jungles or forests, say planners featured in the magazine. You can add dramatic touches like optically “lowering” the perception of ceilings by covering them with greenery so guests feel enclosed by Mother Nature’s bounty.

But what if you could simply travel to a place that’s already “decorated” to delight, removing all the cost and work it takes to turn a space into a natural wonderland? Think destination wedding, and consider booking a fabulous adults-only island off Belize’s coast for your affair that’s so friendly, it’s ready to welcome you and your guests. This paradise is called Coco Plum Island Resort, and it’s so much more than a venue.

At Coco Plum Island Resort, the resort team members have helped stage so many destination weddings, there’s not a decorating scheme, theme, or special request you two could come up with that would stump them! Start your planning process by visiting Coco Plum’s website wedding pages to browse myriad services, add-ons, legal help, and reception options from which you can choose.

Whether your preference is a beachfront ceremony or the resort’s photo gallery identifies one spot that strikes your fancy, start planning there. Perhaps all you want to mark your big day is champagne and a wedding cake—or your desire is for an enticing post-ceremony banquet—catering staff, bartenders, and waitstaff will work with you to throw a party your guests will never forget.

Make it an extended celebration for everyone!

Having put together many wedding details even before you leave home, thanks to emails, texts, and phone calls, you two will arrive on-site knowing that the wedding of your dreams is securely in the books, so working on entertainment and activities for guests will be fun! Arrange group tours or allow your guests to decide for themselves what they prefer to do, based on Coco Plum’s tour list.

Whatever game plan you two choose for yourselves and your guests, be sure to include a couples massage or extend your holiday to include a honeymoon since you’re already in paradise. You two can congratulate yourselves on having planned the perfect nuptials, so get into a state of bliss that’s only possible for newlyweds who found heaven on earth and have all the memories and photos at your disposal to prove it!
