If you’re considering Cartagena for your destination wedding, it’s essential to understand every step of the planning process. As your local wedding planner, I’ve created this complete guide to help you organize your perfect Caribbean wedding with ease.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS

For civil weddings in Colombia, specific documents are required, such as birth certificates, proof of marital status, and legal translations. A local wedding planner can guide you through this process.

WHEN TO START PLANNING

Start planning 8–12 months in advance to secure top vendors and venues. Cartagena is a popular wedding destination, so availability can be limited during high season.
