Best Time of Year for a Seychelles Wedding

Weather and Tourism Tips for the Perfect Destination Wedding

Choosing the best time of year for a Seychelles wedding is one of the most important decisions you will make when planning your special day. While Seychelles enjoys warm tropical weather year round, seasonal changes in wind, rainfall, and tourism levels can significantly affect your wedding experience.

This guide explains the best months to get married in Seychelles, including detailed weather conditions, tourism patterns, and practical planning tips to help you choose the perfect date.


Understanding Seychelles Weather

Seychelles has a tropical climate with two main seasonal influences rather than traditional summer and winter.

Key Weather Factors

  • Average temperatures range between 24°C and 30°C all year
  • High humidity throughout the year
  • Two main wind seasons that affect sea conditions and comfort

Rainfall is usually short and localized rather than constant, making outdoor weddings possible in most months.


Best Overall Time for a Seychelles Wedding

April, May, October, and November

These months are widely considered the best time of year for a Seychelles wedding.

Why These Months Are Ideal

  • Calm seas and minimal wind
  • Comfortable temperatures
  • Excellent visibility for photography
  • Lower humidity compared to peak summer months
  • Fewer tourists than peak season

These months are perfect for beach ceremonies, sunset weddings, boat arrivals, and drone photography.


Peak Wedding Season in Seychelles

June to September

This period coincides with the southeast trade winds and the European summer holiday season.

Pros

  • Lower humidity
  • Pleasant temperatures
  • Popular with European couples

Cons

  • Stronger winds on some beaches
  • Rougher sea conditions
  • Higher accommodation prices
  • Increased tourist numbers

This season is ideal for couples who prefer cooler evenings and are flexible with beach selection.


Warmer and More Humid Months

December to March

These months are warmer and more humid, with occasional tropical showers.

What to Expect

  • Lush green landscapes
  • Warmer sea temperatures
  • Short and intense rain showers

Rain rarely lasts all day, but having a backup plan for outdoor ceremonies is essential.

December is particularly popular due to the festive season, while January to March can offer better value.


Tourism Considerations for Your Wedding

High Tourism Periods

  • July and August
  • December holidays
  • Easter period

During these periods, accommodation prices rise and popular venues book quickly.

Lower Tourism Periods

  • May
  • Early June
  • September and October

These months offer better availability, more privacy, and greater flexibility for venues and services.


Best Time for a Beach Wedding Ceremony

For beach weddings, timing matters not only by month but also by time of day.

Recommended Ceremony Times

  • Early morning for cooler temperatures and soft light
  • Late afternoon for golden hour photography

Midday ceremonies are possible but require shade and hydration planning.


Best Time for Wedding Photography

Photography conditions are excellent year round, but the calm months provide the most consistent lighting.

Best Months for Photos

  • April
  • May
  • October
  • November

These months offer clear skies, calm seas, and vibrant natural colors.

The best time for your Seychelles wedding depends on your priorities.

  • For calm seas and ideal weather: April, May, October, November
