Jamaica's Half Moon resort offers Alluring Wedding Package

Allure, its latest all-inclusive wedding deal.

The ultimate affordable destination wedding package priced at $19,000 is available through December 14 at the 398-unit, 400-acre property.

The Allure package covers wedding planning services, a ceremony and a reception for as many as 50 guests, as well as extra services.

For the ceremony, guests booking the Allure package are provided a marriage officer; marriage license with certified copies; tropical bouquets for the bride and three bridesmaids; four tropical boutonnieres for groom and groomsmen; two corsages, for the mothers of the bride and groom; tropical flower decorations; and a violinist, guitarist or saxophonist.

Half Moon offers both indoor and outdoor ceremony sites a major consideration in a tropical destination such as Jamaica where rain can materialize unexpectedly.

Allure receptions include six tropical table centerpieces; votive candles; four-hour open bar, including post-ceremony cocktail hour with hors d'oeuvres; buffet dinner or three-course plated dinner; disc jockey (four hours); and a three-tiered vanilla wedding cake.

In addition, couples enjoy three hours of photography service, with 60 5x7 prints; professional make-up at the resort salon for the bride; the services of a wedding planner; and wedding location set-up to include chair ties and a public address system.

Couples can customize the Allure package with additional options to suit individual needs and tastes.

Wedding guests on even tighter budgets who opt to stay at less expensive resorts near Half Moon still enjoy free access to the property on the day of the ceremony and reception
