Formalites & Rates

At ANSE CHASTANET, it is our endeavor to make all wedding arrangements on your behalf whilst you enjoy your vacation to the fullest.

Time Frame for Civil Ceremony
The normal application process would require that clients spend at least 3 full days on the island prior to the wedding date. After the signing of the wedding application after arrival in front of a notary public at the resort, the application process requires the documents to remain with the Attorney General's offices for 2 full working days. These two days need to be working days. The actual wedding can be on the fourth day of stay. Against a US 275 surcharge, the wedding application can be processed within a 24 hour period (work-ing day, not Sat/Sun). The surcharge covers the Government express fees and special courier services to and from. Anse Chastanet Resort requires a minimum stay of 5 nights from all couples wishing to get married..

Required Information and Documents
Passports (divorced female partners must also provide their birth certificate), the immigration form copy you receive upon entering St. Lucia. Full addresses/occupation of both. Divorced partners require the original divorce papers which must show a proper seal or stamp, an official signature and must clearly state the decree absolute of the divorce. If the original divorce document cannot be made available, a court certified photocopy must be obtained, bearing the appropriate original seals and/or stamps. If the divorce papers are in a foreign language, a certified translation into English must be obtained prior to arrival and this translation must be brought along in addition to the original divorce papers. Widowed wedding participants need to bring along the original death certificate and official translation if in a foreign language.

In order to prepare the wedding application prior to guests’ arrival all of the required information should be faxed or mailed to the Hotel in copy a few weeks in advance. All of the required documents must be brought along in their original form. After arrival, the legal documents must be signed in presence of a Justice of the Peace or the lawyer.

Time Frame for Church Weddings
If both bride and groom are catholic and have not been married before, a church wedding can be arranged , requiring at least 3 months of advance notice. The bride and groom are required to attend pre-nuptial sessions with their parish priest at home. The parish priest will have to confirm this in writing to his Grace, The Arch Bishop of St.Lucia. The wedding ceremony will then take place in the Catholic Church - no other location is possible.

Wedding Day and Wedding Ceremony
Weddings are usually held in the afternoon between 4-5.30pm. Other times can of course also be arranged. The wedding ceremony is a civil ceremony which is conducted by one of the Island's registrars. The ceremony is legally required to be conducted after sunrise and before sunset. At the end of the ceremony you will receive your wedding licence. The registrar is prepared to include in the official ceremony a poem or text of your choosing.
