Depending on the type of passport you hold and the country you are travelling will depend on whether you need a visa, visa waiver, tourist card or nothing at all apart form a valid passport. We will do our best to assist you regarding visas but all customers are advised to check with the embassy of the country you are visiting for confirmed visa arrangements. Please be aware that acquiring visas are solely your responsibility so please be advised this is only advise we provide.
When travelling overseas on a British Citizen passport you need to make sure you have at least six months validity left on your passport after your date of return. For anybody that may be travelling on a different passport you are advised to check with the embassy. It is the responsibility of each individual travelling that they have checked they hold the correct passport and correct validity required for the country you are travelling to. We are only able to provide advise so please check with the relevant embassy if needed.
Every country has different requirements so we will advise you regarding the legalities depending on the country you choose to get married in. You may also be required to get paperwork signed by a solicitor before you travel so again we will advise you on the action you are required to take and what you need to take with you.
You must advise us if you have been married before. This is not a problem in most places all that is required is proof of either your divorce or bereavement. You may be required to get this paperwork from a solicitor before you travel so we will advise you if necessary. Failure to advise us and turn up without the relevant paperwork may result in your marriage being unable to take place.
Our weddings are recognised in the UK unless specified. In some countries like Spain a blessing or symbolic ceremony is performed as they are unable to do a legally binding ceremony unless you are a resident in Spain, the legal bit would need to be done in the UK.
We are always at the end of a phone but in most of the hotels or locations we offer we have specialist wedding coordinators there to assist you in making sure your day goes smoothly.
Depending on where you are getting married will depend on what extras we can arrange for you but we have made every effort to make sure we can add those extra items you will need to make your day special.
