Planning Your Wedding
We know that planning your wedding and honeymoon is one of the most important and time consuming jobs you will every come across. Arranging your wedding abroad with Beachcomber will help take away all the stress, time, panic and organisation will be taken away!
We arrange over 300 weddings each year so you can rest assured that your big day is in trusted hands. We in fact guarantee only one wedding a day at Sainte Anne Resort & Spa, for the rest of the hotels in the Seychelles unfortunately we cannot gaurantee that you will be the only couple getting married that day - however due to the remote location and low occupancy of many of the properties this has rarely, if ever been a problem. Wherever you choose for your big moment Beachcomber will ensure that your special day is just that - special!
Choosing a hotel
Due to the diverse and vast amount of properties in the Seychelles choosing a hotel or resort that is right for you can be quite daunting...we have put together a list of all the properties we feel would be perfect for your special day. Take a look at the accommodation tab on your right - but don't worry if you already have a hotel in mind and it is not on the list take a look at our full list of resorts in the Seychelles and we will be able to work with you to arrange the wedding of your dreams
Who can we speak to about planning our wedding?
From start to finish you will have our knowledgeable reservations team here in the UK and a Wedding planner on hand for you when in the Seychelles. They will be more than happy to advise you on anything you need to know about your wedding in the Seychelles.

Before you go

Once you have chosen the resort and decided upon your wedding date we will check to make sure there are no other weddings on that day for Sainte Anne or for all other resorts whether the date is available (this usually takes 24 hours) once this is done we will confirm the booking and take a deposit of 10% plus the wedding fee!
We will then send out confirmation to you along with the Beachcomber Wedding Form then all you need to do is send us the necessary documentation and relax!
About 10 months to go……
- Select wedding outfits for bride/groom
- If you have decided on a made to measure wedding dress we would suggest making an appointment with your chosen designer or wedding shop for an initial session! It can take up to six months for a wedding dress to be made!!

When you arrive
- When you arrive you will take the day to settle in to your chosen hotel, relax by the pool, sip a cocktail at sunset and enjoy the first day of your honeymoon.
- Meet your wedding coordinator who will work with you to plan your perfect day.
- You will choose your wedding location – your wedding can take place anywhere in the resort, most people decide on the gardens close to the beach, but the choice is yours! Weddings will take place in the afternoon 15h00-16h00 as it is a cooler time of the day, the light is also better for photographs and you can take advantage of the sunsets at this time of day.
Take a look through the optional extras such as buttonholes, photos and flowers. Here are some example prices for you based on Sainte Anne (prices vary dependent on hotel and resort but this gives you something to work on!):
- Photos – 50 prints from 275 Euros
- Brides Bouquet – from 75 Euros
- Button Holes – from 10 Euros
- Video – from 340 Euros
- Brides Hair – from 65 Euros
- Make-Up - from 36 Euros
Some guests and resorts may prefer to organise this in advance which we would suggest however some leave everything until they arrive:
- Discuss the amount of guests if any and what you would like for your reception. If you do not have a wedding party the hotel will happily provide two witnesses. You have a number of choices for your reception which vary by hotel whether it is a romantic candlelit dinner for two on the beach or a larger barbeque on the beach, a traditional three-course wedding breakfast or just a quick buffet your wedding coordinator will go through all the options available at your chosen hotel.
After the wedding…..
The great thing is you do not need to worry about post wedding day blues as you are still on honeymoon! You can relax on the beach, try your hand at a number of water sports and sample many different types of food. You could try a number of excursions from cycling around La Digue to a trip to the main island of Mahe for a spot or shopping. Why not organise a romantic candlelit dinner on the beach for the night after your wedding, or book a relaxing massage for your loved one whatever you would like to do the guest relations team at the hotels will be one hand to help you to organise something special.
