Destination Weddings on Panama’s Caribbean Coast

Say “I do” beside the sea, dine overlooking the Caribbean, and dance above the water as the celebration carries into the night. Let every moment become a memory you and your guests will carry long after the last toast.

At Ordovician, your wedding can unfold across the island — beach ceremony, oceanfront cocktails, dinner, dancing and a stay surrounded by the Caribbean. Whether you are planning an intimate ceremony or a destination wedding with accommodations for up to 120 guests, Ordovician brings the setting, the stay and the celebration together in one extraordinary Caribbean destination.

The Venues

One Island. Different Ways to Celebrate.

From a private beach wedding beside the Caribbean to cocktails and dinner overlooking the water, Ordovician offers several settings for the different moments of your wedding.

Venue capacities vary according to event format, seating layout, décor and production requirements.

The Beach

Ceremony by the Caribbean

For couples dreaming of a beach wedding in Panama, The Beach places the Caribbean at the center of the ceremony.

It is a natural setting for couples seeking a private-feeling Caribbean wedding with the island all around them.

Capacity: up to 160 guests for banquet or cocktail-style events

El Acuario

Dinner Above the Caribbean

It is ideal for couples seeking a more formal celebration without losing the sense of place.

It is especially well suited to receptions that continue into the night.

Capacity: up to 90 guests for cocktail-style events

The Shell

Relaxed Island Gatherings

The Shell offers a relaxed open-air setting for gatherings that bring guests together before, during or after the wedding.

The Happiest Day for You and Your Guests

A destination wedding at Ordovician gives your guests more than a place to attend the ceremony. With ocean-view rooms, overwater suites and a variety of complimentary activities included with their stay, friends and family can experience Isla Grande at their own pace — from wellness and quiet time by the Caribbean to snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding and island adventures before and after the celebration.

A Menu Made with Love, to Celebrate Love

The creativity of our Executive Chef brings your wedding vision to the table, with a menu shaped around your tastes and the spirit of the celebration. Fresh fish and seafood from Panama’s Atlantic and Pacific coasts meet produce from our Chef’s Garden, bringing our garden-to-table philosophy, vibrant flavors and exceptional freshness to a wedding dining experience that feels distinctly connected to Panama.
