I simply know how weddings in Seychelles for tourists usually go and the steps involved. I&#8217;ll share my insights, tips, and recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing to understand is that there are two types of ceremonies in Seychelles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Official Marriage Registration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wedding Ceremony for tourists who got married in their home country and came to Seychelles for their honeymoon. They want to have a beach ceremony, which won&#8217;t have legal implications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/seychelles\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/seychelles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/01\/wedding-1.jpg\" alt=\"Wedding in Seychelles\" class=\"wp-image-3088\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is how any wedding in Seychelles for tourists typically goes, even if it&#8217;s an official registration, a representative from the local authority can conduct it on the beach.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It&#8217;s essential to understand:<\/p>\n<cite>Approximately 99% of couples come to Seychelles to have a wedding ceremony, and the official marriage registration is not of interest to them. They have already legally married in their home country. Only about 1% want to go through the official procedure in Seychelles.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you don&#8217;t have a partner with Seychellois citizenship, official ceremonies may pose challenges with legal procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Official_Marriage_Registration_in_Seychelles\"><\/span><strong>Official Marriage Registration in Seychelles<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a brief overview:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Interesting to know:<\/p>\n<cite>Marriage registration in Seychelles is recognized in many countries. Check with your Ministry of Foreign Affairs in advance.

The ceremony can take place on any island, in any hotel, or on the beach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Within 30 days, you need to coordinate the registration date, send all required documents (id, passport, application, birth certificate, tickets), all translated into English and notarized (apostilled). These actions can be facilitated through a wedding coordinator at your hotel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t forget that for an official wedding in Seychelles, you need two witnesses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/seychelles\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/seychelles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/01\/wedding-2.jpg\" alt=\"marriage in seychelles\" class=\"wp-image-3089\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Any luxurious 5-star hotel has everything necessary for organizing your wedding; you won&#8217;t need much: three poles, a white sheet, and a few flowers \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Important note:<\/p>\n<cite>After the official wedding in Seychelles, you&#8217;ll receive a marriage registration certificate.

If they confirm, reserve your date, and then you can book your package or hotel.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check out all-inclusive <a href=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/seychelles\/packages-to-seychelles\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1583\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">packages for Seychelles<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/seychelles\/wp-content\/themes\/maktub\/assets\/images\/transparent.gif\" data-lazy=\"true\" data-src=\"https:\/\/travel-4-fun.com\/seychelles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2024\/01\/wedding-3.jpg\" alt=\"wedding ceremony seychelles\" class=\"wp-image-3090\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A popular spot on La Digue Island for newlyweds is often featured in photo sessions. Here are two couples, each with their own photographer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Find the official website of the hotel, for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.constancehotels.com\/en\/true-experiences\/wedding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the luxurious Constance Ephelia on Mahe Island<\/a>. The site should mention that they host weddings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Each hotel has a package with a set of services. Average prices for the entire ceremony range from 1500 euros to 5000 euros. It&#8217;s challenging to be more specific because the service packages vary, and any additional requests outside the standard package will incur additional charges. For example, if you want the bride&#8217;s bouquet to be red instead of white, add 100 euros. If you want champagne and snacks at the ceremony, add 200 euros, and so on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book your chosen wedding package, coordinate all your preferences, and make a down payment, usually 30%.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You must arrive at the hotel three days before the ceremony. Once there, finalize all details with the wedding coordinator.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also sail to uninhabited islands immediately after the ceremony. Any additional desires will be at your expense.

But once you find one and receive confirmation from the hotel that they are ready to organize your dream wedding, everything else will go smoothly.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, a wedding in Seychelles is pure exoticism. The emotions and memories will stay with you for a lifetime, along with the photos and videos. Yes, it might not be the most budget-friendly event, but it&#8217;s Seychelles, and that says it all. And besides, weddings don&#8217;t happen every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT: essential links to organize your dream trip to the Seychelles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>FLIGHTS<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/wayaway.tp.st\/O3VCvsXE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WayAway <\/a>&#8211; direct flights and best deals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>CAR RENTAL<\/strong>: \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mahe and Praslin, no deposit required &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/localrent.tp.st\/LW0AAZtl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LocalRent<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The most famous car rental company &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/discovercars.tp.st\/KXoNo3CE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DiscoverCars<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TOURS and EXCURSIONS<\/strong>: \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/getyourguide.tp.st\/NkAeedKR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GetYourGuide <\/a>&#8211; 90+ activities and tours in the Seychelles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/viator.tp.st\/OEgGXHOq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Viator <\/a>&#8211; 130 + activities in Seychelles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>TRAVEL INSURANCE<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/ektatraveling.tp.st\/85F61SND\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">EKTA<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>HOTELS, VILLAS, APARTMENTS<\/strong>: \n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tripadvisor.tp.st\/kR8JXXlm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TripAdvisor <\/a>compares prices among a dozen other services and platforms and offers to choose the best one.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/trip.tp.st\/vLgxVmup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trip.com<\/a> &#8211; one of the most popular accommodation booking platforms.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>PACKAGES<\/strong>: from budget to luxury &#8211; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cheapoair.tp.st\/8fiuVD1A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CheapOair<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AIRPORT TRANSFER<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/intui.tp.st\/Eie2HQdP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Intui<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>INTERNET<\/strong>: eSIM of local telecom operator &#8211; <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/airalo.tp.st\/Fn4pnXLu\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/airalo.tp.st\/Fn4pnXLu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Airalo<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article specifically for tourists who want to have a wedding here.
