  Are medical or blood tests required to

  What is the best way to travel with a wedding dress and suit?
  Any arrangement for transportation of a wedding dress and suit/tuxedo should be discussed directly with your airline carrier. Most couples typically travel with their wedding attire as a carry-on item in a garment bag. If there’s space, most airlines offer the option to hang the wedding dress or wedding suit in the plane's closet.

  Is there Tuxedo rental available on the island?
  Unfortunately, we do not offer tuxedo rentals at the resort; however, some Sandals Resorts can share contact information for local formalwear providers (varies by island). When it comes to attire selections, keep in mind the warmer Caribbean climates. For this reason, we recommend lightweight, breathable alternatives to keep the groom, groomsmen, and guests comfortable!

  Can I bring amy own wedding décor items and favors?
  You can, but we recommend choosing from options already available on the island as there are customs laws that will require you to pay taxes and duties on any wedding decor items and favors you bring. There is also a chance they could be confiscated if they are deemed commercial items. If you do decide to carry items with you, please note that there is an applicable resort setup fee. Please speak with your Wedding Planner for full details.
