📜 Seychelles Wedding Tips: Legal Stuff (Don’t Skip This Part)
Don’t let paperwork spoil your paradise plans. Here’s what you’ll need for a civil wedding in Seychelles:
-
Passport copies
-
Birth certificates
-
If applicable, divorce/death certificates of previous partners
-
All documents translated into English or French
Plan to send these to your planner or the Civil Status Office about 2 months before the wedding. Bonus tip: Local planners are amazing at helping you with this.
☀️ When’s the Best Time to Get Married in Mahé?
Mahé is wedding-worthy all year round, but the best window for sunshine and low humidity is May to October—perfect for dry sand, calm seas, and photo lighting that makes everyone glow.
