Getting married in Mauritius - everything you need to know If you've always wanted to jet off to a tropical island for your wedding, where you can get hitched on a palm-fringed beach in beautiful surroundings, Mauritius might be the perfect place to hold your ceremony. Read on to find out why this island could be ideal for your special day. Mauritius, located 2,000 km off the east African shores in the Indian Ocean, is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It has 330 km of coastline, where you will come across white, sandy beaches and azure waters, while its interior is covered with mountains and lush rainforest. One of the main reasons why Mauritius attracts so many people hoping to tie the knot is that it has good weather all year round. Therefore, you don't have to wait for a summertime wedding in order to have sunny skies on your big day. During winter, temperatures on the coast rarely drop below 22 degrees C, while the summer will see average highs of 34 degrees C. To improve your chances of fine weather, head to the northern and western coastlines. However, wherever you choose to hold your ceremony, you are guaranteed to have beautiful surroundings. What's more, Mauritius is well equipped to host weddings, as many of its resorts have organised several ceremonies over the years. When thinking about getting married in Mauritius, it is advisable to look at the fine details. Any marriage ceremony that takes place on the island is recognised and legal according to British law, therefore, you don't have to worry that you have to go to a registry office to finalise the legalities of the union when you return to the UK. You will also be able to have the ceremony conducted in English, as weddings on Mauritius are held in this, or most other, languages you require. Before you book your Mauritius wedding, if you and your partner have been married or widowed before, you need to bring documentation to prove this. Additionally, you will need to remember copies of your birth certificates and passports so the big day can go ahead without any problems. However, once you have thought about all of this, you can get on with organising the wedding - and it might turn out to be one of the least stressful ways to tie the knot. This is because many resorts offer wedding planners to help you arrange all the details, such as your food, photos, flowers and where you want the ceremony to be held - although most people choose the beautiful setting of the silky-soft sandy beaches. As well as having a wedding co-ordinator to organise the schedule and arrangements, you can choose from a range of wedding packages offered at different resorts. They differ in price, so you should be able to find one that is affordable. Some might offer basics such as legal fees, a bouquet and button hole, hair and make-up for the bride and a few slices of wedding cake. However, if you're after something slightly more luxurious, you could choose one that comes with complimentary spa treatments, a private dinner on your wedding night and champagne. Therefore, not only will your wedding be in one of the most beautiful locations in the world, but it will also be a relaxing and enjoyable experience. What's more, you will be ready for your honeymoon as soon as you have been pronounced man and wife. If you're planning on getting married abroad, consider having a Mauritius wedding. At Beachcomber, we offer a range of wedding packages so you can have the day you've always dreamed of in a beautiful, tropical location.
