We recommend starting to plan at least 6 months before your desired wedding date.
Generally, a wedding can be organised on almost any beach in the Seychelles. You can find a selection of all locations in our wedding planner.
The cost of a wedding in the Seychelles depends very much on your own preferences and comes to an average of around €1,100. This does not include the cost of accommodation or flights. In our wedding planner you can build your very own dream wedding. Here you can also find the cost.
Yes, marriages in the Seychelles are also legally valid in your home country. All you need to do is apply to your local registry office for a marriage certificate and, if you wish, a change of name.
To get married in the Seychelles, you’ll need the following documents:
All documents must be in English or French, otherwise a certified translation is required.
In addition, all documents must be received in the Seychelles at least 6 weeks before the wedding ceremony.
After the marriage ceremony, you will receive a marriage certificate, apostille (the authentication of your Seychelles marriage certificate by the local judicial authorities to complement the marriage certificate) and a certificate of authenticity (if needed).
Yes, you can also opt for a symbolic ceremony or commitment ceremony. This is unofficial, focusing on the symbolic act (for example, renewing your vows).
Yes, two witnesses must be present at a civil wedding. If you are celebrating your wedding without guests, these can also be provided by the hotel.
Apostille:
An Apostille is the local Judiciary’s authentication of the Seychelles Wedding Certificate and is applicable to couples of all nationalities (except British citizens).
For more information, please visit our public holiday page: http://en.seyvillas.com/guide/travel-info/public-holidays
We can organise an informal symbolic ceremony for you, without any legal validity, so that you can make the most out of your special romantic experience in the Seychelles. This option is open to heterosexual and homosexual couples.
The only compulsory charges for the symbolic ceremony are as follows: unofficial symbolic ceremony & wedding coordinator, and extra fee for weekend or public holiday weddings, if applicable.
Please note that although some charges - handling of legal documents and wedding certificates, delivery of documents and Apostille - will be automatically included in your request, these charges will be deducted by our Reservation Office. Therefore, you will not be charged for them.
Please note that the number of photos in all 3 cases ranges from 200 to 700, depending on weather conditions. The photoshoot will take around 1 hour to 1.5 hours, but this is also flexible. Photos will be moderately edited.
We recommend the first option of using the WeTransfer link for guests who will leave the Seychelles shortly after their photoshoot.Quality is not compromised during upload or download, which takes around 1.5 hours.
Extra hourly rates are as follows: €134 for 1 extra hour photo shoot, €160 for 1 extra hour video shoot.
A surcharge of €80 is charged for groups of 10 to 25 people.
JPEG fine + RAW consist of photos twice the size of normal ones.
