If you’re planning to wed in Mauritius, you need to put a few things into consideration, here is a quick wedding planning Mauritius guide to help you make your best day a success and memorable.

Before you arrive in Mauritius

Choose a wedding planner

Assuming that you’re traveling to Mauritius from a different territory, you will ideally need a wedding planner based in Mauritius and who knows their way around all the sweet spots. They will essentially tailor your dream wedding according to your request and wishes, as well as include their personal advice and input.

Your documentation

Prepare all the necessary documents as legally required in advance, preferably two months in advance. At the very least, you will need your personal identification documents and birth certificates. Your wedding planner will give you further guidance on other specific legal documents required, but you need to make sure that your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your expected date of departure to Mauritius. This applies for both you and your better half.

Choosing your venue/type of wedding

This is a very important step as it defines the overall experience of your wedding. When it comes to choosing the perfect wedding type or wedding venue in Mauritius, the available options can be quite overwhelming. Being an Inland surrounded by beautiful waters, the most popular types of weddings here are beach wedding, wedding under the sea and overwater wedding. These are what makes getting married in Mauritius truly magical.

But of course, you will also have other numerous options including garden wedding, resort wedding, church wedding, Flat Island wedding, and so on. Just be sure to make your choice and communicate to your wedding planner in good time so they can put in place all the necessary arrangements. Simply choose the type of experience you would like and your planner will help you with the specifics of the best available venue options.

One week before your wedding

At this point, you should be very excited about your wedding on this renowned holiday destination Island. But it’s this excitement that makes most couples forget the important stuff. During this last week, double check that you have travel documents, Bridegroom and Bride’s wedding outfits, outfits for the wedding party if applicable, wedding rings, and a copy of wedding vows and speeches if necessary.

On arrival to Mauritius

When you finally arrive in Mauritius on your first day, relax; take a day to settle in the hotel of your choice, relax by the swimming pool, enjoy your cocktail and allow the stunning Mauritian sunset to set the mood. After that, contact your wedding planner to finalize the remaining last minute details, ensuring that everything goes as planned.

You would organize a meetup and probably go through the planned itinerary together, maybe help choose the type of flowers, have look at the wedding cake and tie up the last minute details. At this point, everything else is set and your special day is in good hands, all you’re left with now is to relax. This is also the perfect time to head out and explore what Mauritius has to offer and ease out the tension and anxiety as you wait for your special day.
