Escape to the magical island of Mauritius to elope, or say “I do” in front of family and friends, or renew your vows.

It would be my pleasure to help you plan your destination wedding, making the whole process simple and easy to book.

The boring yet important stuff

Weddings can only take place Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays), I will require documents as soon as possible to pass onto the Civil Status Office.

You will be required to arrive in Mauritius three days prior to your wedding, this will give you ample time to sit down with your dedicated wedding coordinator to discuss your ceremony as well as attend the Civil Status Office.

When in Mauritius….

Once you have settled into your resort, it will be time to meet up with your dedicated Wedding Co-Ordinator to plan your special day.

Choose your wedding location within the resort, most decide on the beach or gardens close to the beach, the choice is yours.

Your wedding ceremony generally takes place in the late afternoon as it is cooler, better light for photography and you will get to take advantage of the sunset setting over the Indian Ocean.

This is also the time to discuss all your wedding extras such as flowers, photography, hairdressing, canapes, and music.

Everything is then arranged for you!  It’s that simple.
