Weddings

Every year an average of 30 couples from across the world choose Bluebay Resort & Spa as the setting for their wedding.  The reason is that we know just how stressful wedding preparations can be for the couple so we make sure the process is efficient and hassle-free yet as spectacular, fun and exotic as only a wedding on an idyllic African resort can be. Ever seen a wedding with a full Maasai warriors’ guard-of-honour for the couple?

The Civil wedding ceremonies are conducted on a spot of the couple’s choice within our gardens or on the beach - or even on a wooden deck overlooking the Ocean. For religious Ceremonies, all we require is adequate notice, we will arrange for an Anglican Minister to be at hand to preside over the wedding at the Resort - otherwise the couple would have to be transported to Zanzibar Town, where the various denominational chapels/churches are located.

The certificates issued in our weddings are internationally recognized.

We will be delighted to offer suggestions, assist in whatever ground arrangements are required and ensure a magnificent celebration of love for the couple. In order for us to facilitate with the arrangements and ensure that the wedding schedule is timely, the following documents are required at least four weeks in advance of the anticipated wedding date:

» Copies of birth certificates
» Copies of current passports
» Affidavit confirming that neither party are currently married (if divorced –
  documents certifying that the previous union has been dissolved; if widowed copy of death certificate)
» 2 passport sized photographs of each partner

We have a dedicated 'wedding-coordinator' at the Resort and we have put together three custom designed 'wedding bouquets' which cover all the essential details and ingredients for a successful wedding ceremony or event.
