Legal requirements

Please view the Legal Requirements for Marrying in Seychelles document for more information.
Religious Ceremonies
Your dream of a romantic religious wedding in paradise can become reality in Seychelles.
Roman Catholicism is the dominant religion in the country, however there are also Anglican and other Protestant churches, as well as smaller Muslim, Hindu and Bahá’i communities.
In order to organise a religious wedding ceremony you will have to contact the relevant religious body. It is important to note however, that a religious wedding without first conducting a civil ceremony is not recognised under Seychelles law. It will therefore be necessary to conduct a civil ceremony prior to the religious ceremony.
Any one of Seychelles’ international tour operators or local ground handling operators will be more than happy to assist you with the organisation of your special day.
