Mauritius Wedding Planner

For your perfect wedding in a perfect destination like Mauritius, you will surely be considering a perfect nuptial ceremony, religious or not. We, at Mauritius Wedding Planner, will help you choose among several popular options that are known to be romantic and unique. There are however common rules that need be followed in order to organize your wedding ceremony in a seamless and stress-free fashion.

Important things to keep in mind when marrying in Mauritius

One of the most important requirements for any religious wedding in Mauritius is that you need to be already legally married. If this is not the case, you could get civilly married in Mauritius the day before your religious ceremony.
Required document sets may not be the same here, as in your country of origin. However, to be legally ready, we suggest that you read our article on legal requirements for a Wedding in Mauritius.  

In any case the civil wedding will have to be no older than 6 weeks prior to the wedding date.

The preparation time between your decision to wed in Mauritius and your wedding ceremony is key to its success. Usually, we will suggest that formalities are initiated well in advance, between 4 – 6 months prior to the saved date. Getting all the paperwork done the right way, including legal translations, will generally take most of that preparatory period. There is also the need to find and book the right location, the relevant officiant, and the right event design for your religious ceremony.

Types of wedding Ceremonies

Classic Ceremony

Although simple, the classic wedding ceremony in Mauritius can be elegant and luxurious. In fact, you can technically pronounce your wedding oaths on a beautiful beach, in an exotic garden, in a prestigious colonial house, in a small traditional church or even on a luxurious rooftop.

At Mauritius Wedding Planner, we will make sure that everything is set up and that the relevant officiant is booked for the saved date and time.

As mentioned already, you may need to get civilly married at least a day before the ceremony. We will guide you, step by step through this sometimes-hefty challenge.  

We also work in parallel with the religious authorities to make sure that everything goes accordingly to the conventional rites and usage.

Creole Ceremony

And yes, you can also say your wedding oaths with the rhythm of the Sega the world-renowned traditional creole dance and music of Mauritius, in the background. This all about getting married with an entirely unique setup that may take you on a very emotional trip, where Creole traditions, with its colorful costumes, inviting rhythms and, love theme songs around a bonfire, can come as an unforgettable blessing.  

Asian/ Indian Ceremony

An Asian/ Indian wedding ceremony is very special to us. Not only is it rich in terms of symbolisms, but it also captivates everybody’s attention over a span of 3 days, generally.

Several steps make such ceremonies magical. One of them being the moment when the bridal mehendi, Henna, is applied to the bride’s hands and feet, symbolizing the start of a new life in the Indian belief.

In an Asian/ Indian ceremony, the stage setup and flowers are of great symbolic importance. There is, for instance, the garland exchange which signifies mutual acceptance.

In any case, the wedding ceremony will be conducted by an Indian Priest and all the rituals around the event will be left to the family to arrange for. Mauritius Wedding Planner will, on its side, will make the necessary arrangements for the best wedding locations, decoration, catering, and logistics to ensure the success of those magical moments.
