If you’ve started researching beach weddings in Mauritius, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating: Most websites talk about paradise, sunsets, and palm trees — but almost nobody tells you what a wedding here actually costs, with real examples.
And when couples do find prices online, they often realise later that many important things were not included.
So let’s make this simple.
This guide gives you a realistic look at what a beach wedding in Mauritius actually costs — based on real wedding scenarios, typical add-ons, and what couples usually spend in total.
Whether you’re dreaming of a simple ceremony for two or a private island celebration with guests, this article will help you understand what is realistic, what is included, and where your budget really goes.
Key Takeaways
- A realistic beach wedding in Mauritius usually costs between €2,500–€4,500 for a couple-only wedding, and around €4,500–€8,000+ with guests.
- Mauritius is often more affordable than a traditional wedding in Europe — especially because your wedding and honeymoon are combined into one unforgettable trip.
- Couples can choose between several wedding styles depending on their budget and vision: public beach weddings, private island weddings, beach villa celebrations, or smaller “light wedding” setups.
- Most weddings become personalised through optional add-ons like legal paperwork assistance, flower arches, bridal bouquets, hair & makeup, singers, and videography.
- Private island weddings in Mauritius are often far more achievable than couples expect, while offering a completely exclusive experience.
- Even with flights, accommodation, and honeymoon included, many couples spend less in Mauritius than they would on a traditional wedding in Europe alone.
- Mauritius works especially well for couples who value beautiful scenery, smaller guest numbers, a relaxed atmosphere, and a destination wedding that still feels financially manageable.
What Is the Average Cost of a Beach Wedding in Mauritius?
A realistic beach wedding in Mauritius usually falls somewhere between:
- €2,500 – €4,500 for the bridal couple only
- €4,500 – €7,000+ for weddings with a few guests
The final amount depends mainly on:
- The wedding location
- Guest count
- Legal paperwork assistance
- Flowers and styling
- Photography or videography
- Transport and dining
The good news: compared to a wedding in Europe, Mauritius is often far more affordable — especially considering you are combining your wedding and honeymoon into one trip.
What Couples Usually Add to Their Wedding Package
When couples first look at wedding packages, they often focus only on the package price. But most weddings become personalised through a few common extras.
These are the upgrades couples most frequently choose:
These additions are not “hidden costs” but help create a more personalised beach wedding.
In the following section, we will show you 4 different venues with their respective prices and a breakdown of the potential additional costs.
1. Beach Wedding for Two
A beach wedding on a public beach is usually the most classic option.
Mauritius beaches are technically public, but there are quiet areas where ceremonies feel surprisingly private. We have found our favourite spot in the North of Mauritius, in Trou aux Biches.
This option works especially well for couples who:
- Want a beautiful beach ceremony without a large wedding budget
- Prefer a relaxed wedding day
- Want to celebrate outside of their accommodation
- Want minimal travel on the wedding day
- Want an accessible location without walking or taking a boat
Our package at 1,890 euros includes:
- A wedding planner who coordinates all local vendors and is on your side on your wedding day
- Car transfer for the bridal couple
- A decorated coconut to hold the rings
- 2 witnesses provided if you are travelling alone
- Civil status officer (English or French)
- 1 bottle of champagne
- Photographer for 1h30
- 3-course candlelight dinner directly on the beach
Typical Wedding Invoice
Wedding Package: €1,890
Typical Add-Ons
- Legal paperwork assistance: €520
- Flower arch: €150
- Bridal bouquet: €70
- Hair & makeup: €160
Estimated Total: €2,790
This is a very realistic number for a legal beach wedding for two in Mauritius, based on weddings celebrated in early 2026.
2. Private Island Wedding
Private island weddings are. often misunderstood. Many couples assume that renting an island must be extremely expensive.
In reality, private island weddings in Mauritius are often only moderately more expensive than a beach wedding — but offer something completely different: You are completely alone.
No hotel guests. No distractions.
This option is perfect for couples who:
- Want privacy above all
- Want a once-in-a-lifetime experience of getting married alone on a tropical island
- Value luxury more than down to earth
- Want to get married outside of their hotel
Our package at 3,320 euros includes:
- A wedding planner who coordinates all local vendors and is on your side on your wedding day
- Exclusive Island rental from 4.30 pm – 11 pm
- Photographer for 1h30
- Boat and car transfer
- A decorated coconut to hold the rings
- 2 witnesses if you are travelling alone
- Civil status officer (English or French)
- Set up of table and chairs, flower bouquet on the table
- 1 bottle of sparkling wine
- Canapés + wedding menu + drinks
Typical Wedding Invoice for the couple only
Wedding Package on a private island: €3,320
Typical Add-Ons
- Legal paperwork assistance: €520
- Flower arch: €150
- Bridal bouquet: €70
- Singer during ceremony: €150
Estimated Total: €4,210
For many couples, this becomes their “dream wedding” choice because the experience feels exclusive without reaching luxury-resort pricing.
Typical Wedding Invoice with 10 Guests
This is where Mauritius becomes very attractive compared to Europe.
A small destination wedding with guests often costs significantly less than a traditional wedding at home.
Plus, the private island is the only venue in Mauritius where you can celebrate with your guests late into the night with music and dancing.
Wedding Package on a private island with 10 guests: €3,620
Typical Add-Ons
- Legal paperwork assistance: €520
- Flower arch: €150
- Bridal bouquet: €70
- Singer during ceremony: €150
- Videographer: €650
- Minibus transfer for all your guests: €270
Guest Costs
- Food, drinks, and boat transfer: €140 per guest × 10 guests = €1,400
Estimated Total: €6,830
This already includes most elements couples typically add. Compared to a traditional wedding in Europe with 50–80 guests, many couples are surprised by how reasonable a private island in Mauritius is priced.

3. Beach Villa Wedding for the couple and 4 Guests
Villa weddings are perfect for small groups.
Instead of getting married on a public beach or a hotel’s beach, you rent a private beach villa and celebrate there. This creates a very intimate atmosphere. You are not just booking a wedding — you are creating a private wedding holiday.
Important to Know
Beach villas in Mauritius are normally rented for several nights.
Typical pricing:
- €220–€600 per night depending on location and season
- Usually minimum stay is 4 to 7 nights
For this example, we use a realistic mid-range villa.
Our package at 1,560 euros includes:
- A wedding planner who coordinates all local vendors and is on your side on your wedding day
- Photographer for 1h30
- A decorated coconut to hold the rings
- A flower bouquet on the decorated ceremony table
- 2 witnesses if you are travelling alone
- Civil status officer (English or French)
- 1 bottle of sparkling wine
Typical Wedding Invoice
Wedding Package in a private villa: €1,560
Accommodation
- Beach villa for 6 nights: €2,400
Catering
- €120 per person × 6 people = €720
Typical Add-Ons
- Legal paperwork assistance: €520
- Flower arch: €150
- Bridal bouquet: €70

4. A Lower Budget Option: Our Light Wedding
Not every couple wants a large setup. Some couples prefer to spend more money on excursions, restaurants, or island adventures instead.
For those couples, we also offer a smaller ceremony option.
As this setup is small and easy to assemble, we can arrange it on any beach of your choice. Our couples usually like to celebrate with this package on a beautiful beach conveniently located near their hotel.
Our Light Wedding Package at 880 euros includes:
- A wedding planner who coordinates all local vendors and is on your side on your wedding day
- Decoration of the beach
- A decorated coconut instead of a ring pillow
- 2 witnesses if you’re travelling alone
- 1 bottle of sparkling wine to celebrate
Many couples then add:
- Legal paperwork assistance: €520
- Bridal bouquet: €70
Estimated Total: €1,470
This creates a beautiful wedding without needing a large budget.
The legal part – your civil wedding recognized back home
We know that the legalities can feel daunting. Nobody wants to feel unsupported in another country, and worried they might miss an important legal step and risk returning home without a valid marriage.
With us by your side, you’ll go from worrying about legal documents and unanswered. emails to feeling completely supported and excited about your special day.
We help 60-70 couples every year walk down the aisle in Mauritius, and every single one has returned home with a marriage legally recognised in their country.
And we can’t wait to do the same for you and your partner.
What Does the Beach Wedding and the Honeymoon Trip Really Cost?
This is one of the biggest misconceptions. Many couples compare only the wedding package — but Mauritius weddings usually include both your wedding and honeymoon in one experience.
Here is a realistic estimate for a couple-only trip.
Realistic example for a Destination Wedding and the Honeymoon in Mauritius in 2026
Travel
- Flights for 2 people from Europe: €2,000
Accommodation
- 7 nights in a 4-star hotel with half board for a couple: Approx. €1,800–€2,400
Wedding
- Wedding package + add-ons: €2,800–€4,200
Estimated Total
Approximate total destination wedding + honeymoon cost: €6,600–€8,600
For many couples, this is actually cheaper than what they would spend on:
- A wedding ceremony in Europe
- A wedding photographer
- Flowers
- A small dinner party at home
But in Mauritius, everything happens in one unforgettable trip, the beach wedding and the romantic honeymoon.
Is Mauritius Cheaper Than Europe for a Beach Wedding?
In many cases, yes.
A traditional wedding in Europe often includes:
- Venue hire
- Catering for many guests
- DJ or entertainment
- Table decoration
- Photographer
- Dress and suit
- Drinks packages
- Transportation
- Registry fees
It is very common for weddings in Europe to reach: €15,000 – €30,000 or more
And often, this does not include a honeymoon.
In Mauritius, many couples intentionally choose:
- Fewer guests
- A destination experience
- Better weather
- A honeymoon included in the same budget
For couples who value experience over large guest numbers, Mauritius often feels. like a better value.
Real Reviews From Our Happy Couples
Thank you for the TOP organized beach wedding. From the organization from Germany to the day of our wedding, everything went smoothly. The detailed decoration was overwhelming, the make-up artist, the photographer, the driver for the authorities were all very professional and all extremely friendly. We are so happy to have gone the road with Julia and would do it again anytime as well. Thank you Julia – that’s how we imagined our best day. Our friends were more than enthusiastic. Thanks for everything.
Mandy & Ralf
Julia our wedding planner was recommended to us and what a joy it was for us.
Everything was managed as we wished, we had a dream wedding. We would like to thank Julia for everything because she took care of the whole organisation with a smile, good humour and energy!
Marjorie & Alexandre
Many thanks to Julia, her team and Andi from IDO Productions.
We will all remember a wonderful and unforgettable day. Everything was perfect! Even the planning was totally fun.
For our 25th anniversary, we come again 😉
Lydia & Andreas
From Ideation to execution, Happily Forever ensured that my proposal was a total delight, and my girl friend loved every single detail. Thalita and her team possess vast knowledge about the beaches of Mauritius and the choicest locations and setups to make your proposal beautiful and memorable. Also, the team are friendly and very easy to work with. One such moment where I was blown away by their kindness was when I lost the second part of the ring while proposing and they put me totally at ease, allowing me to enjoy the moment with my fiancé, while they combed through the beach sand for several minutes to find it and find it they did. I would absolutely recommend Happily Forever if you’re planning a proposal in Mauritius.
Lauretha and Gbolahan
We are very happy that we have chosen Julia as wedding planner! She supported us months before the wedding and answered our many questions quickly and in detail.
Also on site we were very well looked after, Pravin has done with us the official channels and incidentally told us a lot of interesting things about the island. Julia has taken a lot of time to discuss the process and details and to align with our wishes and put much emphasis on loving details, for example. at the flower decoration and the decoration. At the ceremony, everything worked out great and we have beautiful photos of Andi as a reminder of this wonderful day.
