How do we get to Gan?

Local islands are reached from Malé by public ferry, scheduled speedboat or domestic flight, depending on the island and the day. We do not quote a time until we have your dates; then we confirm the route with the guest house and book the same transfer for our team and the flowers.

What is possible on a local island, and what is not?

Local islands follow Maldivian law and custom; your planner explains what is and is not possible before you commit. A ceremony on the bikini beach set aside for visitors, a sandbank by dhoni, a dinner in a guest-house garden or on the harbour front are the usual shapes; foreign couples marry symbolically in the Maldives, with the legal paperwork done at home.

What does a celebration on Gan cost?

There are no fixed packages. Every event is designed and quoted on its own, with our fee on one line, the guest house and the vendors at cost on the others, and government taxes (GST) and the 10 % service charge shown. A proposal with the full cost breakdown arrives within five days and is held for five; a 50 % deposit confirms production.

Resort islands, not Gan

Gan is an inhabited island in Laamu (Hadhdhunmathi) Atoll with 4 registered guest houses. A local-island event is a different Maldives from the resorts: the rooms are guest houses, the neighbours are the community, the bikini beach is the stretch set aside for visitors, and a sandbank is a short dhoni ride away. Permissions for anything on the beach or the harbour front come from the island council, and your planner arranges them.

What we plan here: a Maldivian wedding with the family, an elopement for two from a guest house, a dinner on the beach, a birthday or an anniversary with the people who matter. We design it, source the flowers and the vendors, and host the day. Getting there is by public ferry, scheduled speedboat or domestic flight from Malé; we confirm which with your dates.

Our published work so far is on resort islands, and none yet in Laamu Atoll. The nearest is in Alifu Dhaalu Atoll, to the north, shown below as nearby work rather than as Gan's own. Local islands follow Maldivian law and custom; your planner explains what is and is not possible before you commit.
