The honest way to choose is to match the island to the day you picture, because Mahe, Praslin and La Digue each offer a genuinely different wedding. All three are legal, all three are beautiful, and we film on all three every year. The differences come down to how easy each is to reach, how private the beaches feel, and a modest difference in cost that simply reflects the logistics of getting there.
Mahe, the easy and varied choice
Mahe is the main island, home to the international airport, so it is the simplest to reach with no extra transfers. It has the widest choice of beaches, from lively Beau Vallon to the quieter southern coves like Anse Intendance and Anse Bazarca, the most restaurants and hotels at every budget, and the shortest path from plane to sand. A Mahe wedding starts from one thousand six hundred and forty-five euros. It suits couples who want beautiful and effortless, and it is where most of our weddings happen.
Praslin, a slower pace and famous sands
Praslin is a fifteen-minute flight or a calm ferry from Mahe, and it trades a little convenience for a gentler, more exclusive feel. It is home to Anse Lazio, regularly called one of the most beautiful beaches on earth, and the UNESCO Vallee de Mai at its heart. A Praslin wedding is one thousand nine hundred and ninety euros, the small difference covering the extra logistics. It suits couples who want somewhere a touch quieter and more special without going fully remote.
La Digue, the most photogenic and most remote
La Digue is reached by ferry from Praslin and moves at the pace of bicycles and ox carts, with no real traffic. It holds Anse Source d'Argent, the pink-granite beach that is the most photographed in the world, and it is the most cinematic island by some distance. That beauty comes with the most travel, so a La Digue wedding is two thousand and ninety euros. It suits couples who want the most striking backdrop and do not mind the extra hop to reach it.
How we help you decide
Most couples are choosing between a feeling rather than a fact, and that is exactly where it helps to talk to people who marry couples on all three islands. Tell us your travel plans, your month, whether you want lively or hidden, and how many of you are coming, and we will tell you honestly which island gives you the day you are imagining. Many couples also marry on one island and honeymoon across two or three, which is the best of everything.
