News Americas, MONTEGO BAY, JAMAICA, Thurs. May 7, 2020 – In an effort to celebrate love in a time of crisis, the Jamaica Tourist Board and DestinationWeddings.com will host a virtual, symbolic wedding ceremony on Sunday, May 17th for up to 100 couples who have had to cancel or postpone either their domestic or international wedding as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The virtual celebration will take place at the world-famous Doctors Cave Beach in Montego Bay, with the backdrop of the azure Caribbean Sea as waves gently crash on shore. Couples and their guests will be able to join the celebration from the comfort and safety of their homes using Zoom.
“Jamaica specializes in turning big dreams into romantic realities,” said Donnie Dawson, Jamaica’s Deputy Director of Tourism, Sales. “This event is a new twist on this promise. We are excited to be hosting this symbolic virtual wedding and look forward to welcoming these couples when they visit us for their bona fide celebrations, when the time is right.”
“Our hearts break for those who’ve had to postpone or cancel their wedding due to the pandemic,” says Jen Avey, VP of Marketing for DestinationWeddings.com. “So, we wanted to do something special for these couples and give them an opportunity to experience a destination wedding, albeit virtual, at a time when they are unable to hold their own ceremony.”
