Maldives · every resort

Maldives destination wedding planner.

The full wedding on a resort island: venue, ceremony, florals, dinner and the day after, planned from your first call to the last guest's seaplane.

Kate and Tom at Emerald Maldives in Raa Atoll. J and S at Patina Maldives in the Fari Islands. Andrea and Matt at Seaside Finolhu in Baa Atoll. Jaanu ki Ankitham at Hard Rock Maldives, a multi-day Indian wedding with its own dance night. Each couple came for an island far from the crowd with their closest people around them, and each wedding was designed once, for them. Venue, ceremony, florals, dinner, music, photographers and the guests' transfers and rooms: one planner, from the first call to the last seaplane.

Every photograph on this page is from an event we produced on a Maldivian island, and every island has its own page with the transfer, the resort's policy on outside planners and what the light does there. Reply within 24 hours; proposal within five days, held for five.

Questions.

How much does destination wedding planning in the Maldives cost?

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

Which resort is best for a destination wedding in the Maldives?

It depends on your guest count, budget and whether the resort admits outside planners. We have published destination wedding work from Emerald Maldives Resort & Spa Fasmendho, LUX* South Ari Atoll, Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Kuda Huraa, Patina Maldives, Fari Islands, Seaside Finolhu Baa Atoll Maldives and others. Smaller islands give a private feel; larger ones more venues and a ballroom for the wet-weather plan. Tell us the numbers and we will propose three islands that fit.

When should we book?

We take bookings from one month to two to five years ahead. December is peak season across the resorts, so those dates need booking months in advance; an elopement or a proposal can be arranged with a month's notice. We reply within 24 hours and hold a proposal for five days.

Can we marry legally in the Maldives?

Foreign couples cannot register a legal marriage in the Maldives, so resort weddings are symbolic ceremonies or vow renewals with the paperwork done at home. Every resort celebrant is used to it, and the ceremony is no less real for it.
