Time Frame for Civil Ceremony
The normal application process would require that the bride and grooom spend at least 2 full days on the island prior to the wedding date. These 2 days need to be working days. The actual wedding can be on the third or fourth day of stay. Against a US 200 surcharge, the wedding application can be processed within a 24 hour period (working day, not Sat/Sun). ANSE CHASTANET requires a minimum 5 nights stay in order to arrange for your wedding.

In order to prepare the wedding application prior to bride and groom's arrival all of the required information should be faxed or mailed to the Hotel in copy a few weeks in advance. In addition, the wedding form as shown in PDF format below needs to be filled and faxed to the attn of the wedding coordinator at ANSE CHASTANET, Fax 758-459-7700.
All documents must be brought along in their original form. After arrival, the legal documents must be signed by bride and groom in presence of a Justice of the Peace, or the lawyer. This is arranged by the Resort.

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.
