Hotel Wedding Venues in Belmopan

We had our destination wedding with The Belize Collection, and it was truly the experience of a lifetime. Our celebration took place at Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge, but the magic began days earlier at their sister property, Jaguar Reef Lodge, on the southern coast of Belize. We started our trip at Jaguar Reef to unwind before the big day, and it was the perfect way to ease into wedding week. The resort is beautiful right on the beach and the team went above and beyond for our group. They helped us charter a private boat with a chef and bartender for a full-day private island experience at Rhythm Reef, which was absolutely unforgettable. They also arranged private dinners on the beach, including one evening with an incredible live Garifuna drum performance, which made the night feel authentically Belizean and so special. The Belize Collection coordinated every detail across both properties for our wedding party - accommodations, transportation, food, and activities - all perfectly timed, stress-free, and flawlessly executed. Their communication was always prompt and professional, and it felt like every single staff member knew exactly what was happening at all times. When we arrived at Sleeping Giant, we were welcomed with champagne in our room, handwritten notes, and genuine excitement from the team about our upcoming wedding. They coordinated with us to place our welcome gifts in each guest’s room before check-in, which was such a thoughtful touch and meant so much to us. Throughout the stay, everyone was friendly, accommodating, and eager to help from coordinating shuttles from the airport to organizing jungle tours, river activities, horseback rides, and hikes. Sleeping Giant is a hidden gem - nestled deep in the lush jungle yet still easily accessible from the city. It offers a mix of adventure and relaxation, with several room and venue options to fit any vision. When unexpected weather came through on our wedding day, the staff immediately jumped into action, working hand-in-hand with our planners and designers to seamlessly adjust the setup which turned out to be a blessing because the proposed space to the one we initially selected, was even BETTER. It was truly all hands on deck, and everything still turned out perfect. We held our ceremony atop a cliff overlooking the valley; the views were breathtaking and our reception at the stunning new Banks addition to Sleeping Giant. The design was modern yet warm, surrounded by nature and the river, creating the dreamiest setting for the night. Between Jaguar Reef and Sleeping Giant, we got the best of both worlds - the beach and the jungle; all connected by a team that genuinely cared about making our wedding unforgettable. Every detail was curated with intention, and the staff’s enthusiasm and professionalism made the experience seamless from start to finish. If you’re planning a destination wedding, we can’t recommend Sleeping Giant, Jaguar Reef, and The Belize Collection enough. It was the perfect blend of adventure, luxury, and heart; a once-in-a-lifetime experience we and our guests will never forget. Cheers.
