Plan Your BVI Wedding
No perfect day is ever the same.
Dreaming of saying “I do” in the beautiful British Virgin Islands? 🌴✨ Planning a destination wedding in the BVI can feel overwhelming from abroad, but with the right guidance it’s simple, stress-free, and magical. At Weddings BVI, we help couples every step of the way — from paperwork to beachside vows. Here’s how to plan your perfect day in paradise.
Start planning your Perfect BVI Wedding Day
The British Virgin Islands is a small wedding destination location, so we can have everything arranged and put together in a matter of days if you’re on a spur-of-the-moment plan. However, some of you will plan your wedding trip quite far in advance and that gives us lots of time to organize things. In any case, we’ll walk you through every step of the process and will be there on the day to make sure it all runs smoothly.

Our standard wedding plan and consultation rates start at $900. This service includes:

Step 1: Choose Your Wedding Style
The British Virgin Islands offer a wide range of unforgettable venues and wedding experiences. Decide what kind of celebration reflects your vision as a couple:
- 🌅 Beach Ceremony – Exchange vows barefoot with the Caribbean Sea as your backdrop.
- 🏡 Villa Wedding – Host an intimate or elegant celebration in a private luxury villa.
- ⛪ Church Ceremony – Celebrate with a traditional service in one of our charming island churches.
- ⛵ Yacht or Catamaran – Combine your love of sailing with your wedding day.
Step 2: Gather Your Documents
Before your big day, you’ll need to prepare the right documents for your BVI marriage license. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Valid passports for both partners
- Divorce decree (if previously married)
- Death certificate (if widowed)
- Name change affidavit (if applicable)
No birth certificate is required. If a document is missing, an affidavit may be requested. Don’t worry — Weddings BVI can help you prepare everything in advance.
Step 3: Apply for Your Marriage License
Once you arrive in the islands, you’ll need to meet the residency requirement and apply at the Registrar General’s Office in Road Town, Tortola:
- Special License: 1-day residency, $220 fee
- Ordinary License: 3-day residency, $120 fee
The license is normally issued within 24 hours, and your official marriage certificate is available the next business day after your ceremony.
Step 4: Book Your Venue and Vendors
From florists and photographers to catering and live island music, planning from overseas can be tricky. That’s where Weddings BVI comes in. We recommend the best venues and vendors, handle communication, and secure everything on your behalf so you can focus on the fun details.
Step 5: Relax and Enjoy Your Wedding Day
On the big day, our team ensures that everything runs smoothly — from the ceremony setup to the last toast. You simply enjoy your BVI wedding while we handle the logistics, timing, and coordination.
