Your Wedding, Your Choice

A Seychelles wedding is ideal when considering location and venues, as you can set the scene you want - from a Robinson Crusoe setting on a stretch of pristine beach to the luxurious backdrop of a five star resort.

Everything Included?

Choose wisely, using an experienced travel provider who knows how to arrange weddings abroad. The best of these will ensure that you and your fiancée have all the required documents needed and that you arrive at the destination within the required time. They will also provide transportation to/from the Registrar’s Office before the wedding to smooth out the legalities.

Importantly, experienced travel providers will work with you and the resort’s wedding coordinator to craft the perfect wedding ceremony - from choosing the setting to arranging decorations, providing food and drink, the cake and just the right music. Working together, your travel provider and hotel coordinator can help ensure that no aspect of your important day will be left undone. Best of all, most components of the wedding ceremony can be included in the package price quoted so you won’t get an unpleasant surprise bill for those necessary extras!

Budgeting

When considering your budget, one of the best things about Seychelles weddings is the incredible range of locations and prices, with some wedding packages starting at just £1100 per person for the bride and groom - including the airfare, transfers, five nights accommodation in a beautiful Seychelles resort, registrar services, marriage certificate and the ceremony. As with any wedding, the final budget will depend on what you want and runs the range from an intimate ceremony for two to a private island booking reserved for you and your wedding party.

Selected operators even give family and friends the opportunity to contribute toward your Seychelles wedding and honeymoon with gift vouchers. Vouchers can be applied toward the wedding costs or used to upgrade rooms and air travel or to cover well-deserved treats like spa packages and extra excursions.

Honeymoon Seychelles

If a Seychelles wedding is the ultimate in romance, the only way to top it is with a Seychelles honeymoon. Choices abound - a two or three island adventure to a retreat on a private beach, or luxury yacht cruising between islands. Honeymoon Seychelles, and honeymoon in unparalleled beauty and tropical wonder.

Regardless of the Seychelles wedding you choose, you can be assured the memories will last a lifetime.
