Elopement in Seychelles – Intimate Weddings for Two

Just the two of you? An elopement in Seychelles is a legally binding civil wedding on a beach, without the stress of a big celebration. You do not need to bring guests: if you come alone, we provide the 2 witnesses required for the ceremony. We take care of the paperwork, the decorated pavilion and the transfer, so that you only have to arrive and say “I do”.

What is included in your elopement package

Every elopement and wedding package includes unlimited WhatsApp support, a check of your documents and their submission to the Seychelles Civil Status Office, the transfer to the beach and back to your hotel, a welcome drink, a pavilion decorated in your chosen design, a bridal bouquet with a matching flower pin for the groom, the legal ceremony with a Seychelles registrar, sparkling wine for the toast, a wedding cake, water and your marriage certificate with apostille.

Which island for your elopement?

Mahé is the lively main island with many secluded bays (from €1,499). Praslin is known for its UNESCO World Heritage nature and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. La Digue is a quiet island where the bike is the main means of transport, and if you want your wedding day to be only between you two, it is the perfect location. Silhouette offers tranquillity and seclusion at the Hilton Labriz Resort. The packages for Praslin, La Digue and Silhouette cost €1,999.

Make your small wedding special

Add a photographer to capture your day: a 2-hour shoot (€749), 2×2 hours (€1,599), a 2-day shoot (€2,999) or a 3-day shoot (€3,999). A small (€849) or full (€1,699) wedding video is available as well. For a romantic evening, book a 3-course candlelight dinner on the beach (€399), hair and make-up (€279), or a sunset boat trip for up to 4 adults (€399, not on the wedding day). Combine everything in our wedding configurator and see your total live.

How an elopement in Seychelles works

1. Contact us 2 to 3 months in advance, so your documents are in order and your dream hotel has a suite available.
2. Send us copies of your passports, birth certificates in English or French and, if applicable, a divorce decree. The full list is on documents required for a wedding in Seychelles.
3. For a wedding on the beach, the registry office must be notified at least eleven calendar days before the wedding date; we arrange the special permit for an additional fee.
4. Enjoy your ceremony with a Seychelles registrar and receive your marriage certificate with apostille, which is recognised in almost all countries worldwide.
