Say “I do” to the very best of Seychelles

Exotic locale A lifetime of bliss begins with a unique and beautiful wedding. Presenting the finest in attentive service, gourmet cuisine and colonial ambience by the sea, Banyan Tree Seychelles is the dreamiest spot to exchange your nuptial vows and experience a one-of-a-kind honeymoon. Make your wedding dreams come true at Seychelles, with an elegant Banyan Tree event tailored just for you.

Picture perfect The resort design combines contemporary and colonial elements to create a distinctive style which redefines Seychellois architecture, with its high sloping ceilings, airy verandas and louvered doors. All villas open out to lush greenery and spectacular ocean views. Pick a theme for your dream wedding based on the resort’s recommendation or let your imagination run wild. Then bear witness to the transformation of the resort into a magical fairyland with tropical flower decoration and billowing white ribbons. Every scene is the perfect backdrop for wedding photography.

Sensuous setting Banyan Tree Seychelles, located on the picturesque southwestern coastline of Mahé island, consists of 60 exquisite Creole-style villas fringed by unspoiled nature and pristine beaches of the Indian Ocean. It is the ideal venue to welcome your wedding guests and mark the happiest day of your life.

Spoilt for choice Everything desired for a perfect wedding, from the cake and the guestbook to the bridal bouquet and personalised butler services, can be arranged for you. A variety of exceptional cuisines, ceremonies and themes can be catered for, in several settings of your choice. Whether it is an intimate buffet dinner under the gazebo or a chic cocktail party on the beach, Banyan Tree Seychelles promises to make your wedding unforgettable.

Back to basics The resort will provide a personal wedding coordinator, a Master of Ceremony and a civil officer to perform a premium ceremony for you and your partner. This basic package covers the essentials such as floral decorations of your choice, exchange of rings and signing of the registry book, followed by a celebratory toast and the cutting of a delicious two-tier wedding cake. Throw in extras such as champagne cocktails and a pampering spa session for the bride to complete the unforgettable experience. After the ceremony, enjoy a romantic candlelit dinner for two and then retire to your exclusive villa where an exceptional turndown service awaits the newlyweds. Get ready to be wowed.

Venue possibilities Pick from four beautiful spots to exchange your vows. Your wedding ceremony can take place right In Your Villa for the ultimate privacy, or outdoor on the beach with your Feet In The Sand accompanied by the music of the waves and the gentle sea breeze. Escape the constraints of a ballroom into the openness of nature. You can have it Colonial Style at the balcony of the main lobby or opt for the Wedding Gazebo By The Beach surrounded by tropical vegetation and humming birds. A menu of a la carte options is available to suit every taste and preference.

Nuts about you Unique wedding ceremonies have been specially developed for your selection. The Creole Coconut Ceremony is highly recommended for couples who yearn for a vow exchange with a difference. Serenaded by local Creole music, the couple is escorted to the altar where both stand on coconut leaves to symbolise the new foundation on which marital love shall grow. The coconut palm is a highly versatile and cherished fruit in the region, widely considered to be a symbol of abundance and solidarity. You then light a candle before inserting your written vows into a coconut. The climax of the ceremony is reached when the couple collectively throw the coconut into the ocean to represent a new beginning, and seal the union with a sweet kiss. You can also choose to plant a coconut tree to mark the growth of your future together. Be inspired.

A rosy start The Rose Ceremony is simple yet steeped in profound meaning. What says love better than roses? This all-time favourite floral symbol of love accentuates the passion in the air and matches perfectly with all shades of white gowns, from ivory to cream. During the ceremony, the bride and groom are blessed with a single rose to symbolise the words ‘I love you’. You will commit to honour each wedding anniversary with a bouquet of roses at a fixed spot at home as an affirmation of your love. The rose has another significance. In every marriage there are times when it is difficult to find the right words. It is easy to hurt a loved one, and it might be difficult sometimes to say “I am sorry”. If this should happen, leave a rose at the spot. That rose shall say the words “I still love you”. Be touched.

Other lovely touches Religious preferences can be accommodated. Weave in age-old traditions into your wedding plan to ensure that it reflects your personality and is truly memorable. Light a unity candle to signify harmony as two families become one? Sure. Merge two handfuls of sand to represent two individuals coming together? Definitely. Fancy a local Creole band with dancers to liven the atmosphere? Consider it done.

Honeymooners’ paradise After the wedding celebrations draw to a faultless close, retreat to your private villa and bask in the afterglow of an event well run. Then relax with a spa treatment for two. Why not extend your stay and enjoy continued bridal bliss? A sanctuary for the senses, Banyan Tree Seychelles is made for a blissful honeymoon featuring its own signature blend of romance, rejuvenation and exotic sensuality.
