Hi L. Brown,

First off,big congratulations on your upcoming wedding! 🎉🇯🇲 I’m so glad you found my website helpful - I try. And trust me, St. Ann is a beautiful choice for your big day.

Now, in terms of finding a reliable marriage officer in that parish — yes, there are several licensed professionals (both civil and religious) operating in St. Ann who are authorized to legally officiate weddings.

But instead of naming one specific individual, let me guide you on how to find the right one for your special occasion.

1. Contact the Registrar General’s Department (RGD)`
   The RGD is the official government body responsible for marriages in Jamaica. They can:
   
   
   
   • Provide an updated list of licensed marriage officers in the parish of St. Ann.
     
   • Guide you through the legal requirements and documents needed for your ceremony.
     
   
   RGD Contact Info:
   Website: www.rgd.gov.jm | Phone: 876-619-1260 | Email: information@rgd.gov.jm
   
   This might be your most official and reliable option, especially if you're organizing things from overseas.
   
   
2. Work With a Local Wedding Planner
   If you’re looking for convenience, you might consider hiring a local wedding planner based in or around Ocho Rios or other areas in St. Ann. Most planners:
   
   
   
   • Already work with licensed marriage officers regularly.
     
   • Can handle all the paperwork and logistics for you.
     
   • Offer packages that include everything from the venue to flowers, photography, and of course — the officiant.
     
   
   
   This route works especially well if you prefer a stress-free experience.
   

And by the way, not sure if you already know this, but if so, a quick reminder - you’ll typically need:

• Certified copies of your birth certificates (with father’s name)
  
• Valid photo IDs (passport or driver’s license)
  
• If previously married, divorce decree or death certificate
  
• All documents in English (or officially translated)
  
• Marriage license application submitted at least 30 days before the wedding
  

Feel free to let us know if you’d like help with any of the above, but again, all the best on your upcoming wedding my friend.

Regards,
WG
