Praslin Island · Home of the world's most beautiful beaches
Your Praslin wedding: married where the honeymoon lives
Most couples honeymoon on Praslin after marrying elsewhere. The smarter move: marry where you wake up. A fully legal beach ceremony on the island of Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette, with the registrar, certificate and Supreme Court apostille all handled by our local team, and your honeymoon already underway before the cake is cut.
Quick answer: A legal beach wedding on Praslin, Seychelles costs €1,990 all-inclusive with SeyBooking.com. The Praslin Deluxe package includes the official registrar, Marriage Certificate with Supreme Court apostille, all government fees and legal preparation, ceremony setup with gazebo or arch, bouquet, customised cake and sparkling wine. There is no residency requirement, and Praslin is reached from Mahé by a 15-minute flight or a one-hour Cat Cocos ferry.
Praslin is smaller, slower and quieter than Mahé, and that is precisely the point. This is the island for couples whose wedding is the first morning of the honeymoon, not an event to travel away from.
The wedding lives inside the honeymoon
No transfer day, no packing up after the ceremony. You marry a few minutes from your hotel, and the days before and after blend into one long golden week. Praslin is where Seychelles honeymoons happen; marrying here simply removes the commute.
The world's most beautiful backdrop
Praslin is home to Anse Lazio and Anse Georgette, two beaches that appear on every "world's best" list ever compiled. Your wedding photos get the granite boulders, the turquoise gradient and the powder sand that other couples fly here just to photograph.
Quieter by design
Fewer crowds, slower rhythm, and the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai at the island's heart. Praslin suits couples who want intimacy over infrastructure: a barefoot ceremony where the loudest sound is the ocean.
Our honest guidance: around 95% of our couples marry on Mahé, where the airport, registrar and all vendors live, and our Mahé wedding page explains why. Choose Praslin when you're staying on Praslin: the logistics take a little more choreography, we handle all of it, and waking up married on this island is worth every step.

Choose your sand
Praslin's ceremony beaches
We scout the beach for your date and hour, matching season, tide and light. These are the stretches of Praslin our couples fall for:
The world icon
Anse Lazio
Consistently rated among the most beautiful beaches on earth: powder sand, granite headlands and water that fades from pale turquoise to deep blue. Early morning or late afternoon ceremonies have the beach at its quietest and the light at its kindest.
The exclusive one
Anse Georgette
Hidden behind the Constance Lemuria grounds, with no crowds, no vendors and no noise. One of the most exclusive-feeling ceremony settings in Seychelles. An additional venue fee applies, and we arrange the access.
The golden classic
Côte d'Or (Anse Volbert)
Praslin's long golden beach, with calm water, views to Curieuse Island and easy access from the island's best hotels. Perfect when your guests are staying steps from the ceremony.
The quiet secret
Anse La Blague
A genuine local beach on the southeast coast: takamaka trees, fishing boats and barely another soul. For couples who want their ceremony to feel like a secret the island kept for them.

Fly home married, everywhere

After the vows
The honeymoon is already underway
This is Praslin's quiet superpower: the morning after your wedding, you're already exactly where honeymooners dream of waking up. Walk the UNESCO-listed Vallée de Mai among the coco de mer palms, take the 15-minute ferry to La Digue for a day among the granite boulders of Anse Source d'Argent, snorkel off Curieuse with the giant tortoises, or simply claim a takamaka tree on Côte d'Or and watch the light change. If you'd like a second week on Mahé or La Digue, we arrange the ferries, cars and stays in the same conversation as the wedding, and our La Digue and Mahé wedding guides cover marrying on those islands too.
