FAQs

Everything you need to know about planning your wedding in Curacao

How much does a wedding in Curacao cost?
Wedding costs vary by package:
  • Elopement Package: From $700 - Simple, intimate wedding for 2-10 guests. Just you, the officiant, and maybe 2 witnesses. Minimal décor, basic setup.
  • Destination Wedding: From $3,000 - Full planning coordination for 10-80 guests. We handle venue booking, vendor coordination, and setup. You approve everything remotely.
  • All-Inclusive Wedding: From $7,000 - Everything handled by one team. Full planning, venue setup, catering, DJ, decoration, cake from Valerie's Irresistible Desserts, photos, video, drone. You fly in, everything is ready.
Add-ons like photography upgrades, premium DJ, floral upgrades, and cake designs can increase the cost. We'll give you a detailed quote based on your guest count and preferences. No worries.
Do we need to be in Curacao before the wedding for legal requirements?
Yes, typically 3-4 days before:
  • You'll need to be in Curacao for at least 3-4 days before the wedding for legal paperwork
  • You'll register at the civil office (Kranshi) and provide documents like:
  • Birth certificates (original or certified copy)
  • Passport copies
  • Proof of single status
  • Parent's marriage status (if applicable)
But we handle most of the coordination for you! We'll guide you through everything.
  • Alternative: Some couples choose a symbolic ceremony instead, which has no legal requirements. We'll explain all options and help you decide what works best for you.
What venues do you recommend for Curacao weddings?
We recommend and coordinate with the best venue owners:
  • Sunset Beach Wedding: Romantic beach with stunning sunset views. White chairs, floral arch, tropical décor. Most popular choice.
  • Tropical Garden Venue: Lush green setting with tropical flowers and natural shade. Beautiful, quiet, and private. Perfect for nature lovers.
  • Premium Resort Venue: Luxury resort with full amenities. Indoor/outdoor options, guest rooms, parking, bathrooms. Perfect for larger weddings.
  • Exclusive Villa Venue: Private villa with ocean views. Exclusive use, pool, terrace, maximum privacy. Perfect for intimate luxury.

How far in advance should we book our Curacao wedding?
We recommend 6-12 months in advance:

The earlier you book, the more choices you have. Contact us and we'll check what's available for your date. We want to make it happen for you.
