African Dreams Holidays

	AFRICAN DREAMS WEDDINGS INFORMATION Browse our great HONEYMOON & WEDDING Packages! Most Hotels perform weddings and offer only one wedding per day. The general information is applicable at all resorts and the choice of where you actually get married within the resort is up to you - on the beach, in the gardens, by the pool, on your terrace or balcony. ON ARRIVAL Your wedding co-ordinator at the resort will meet with you during your stay to discuss the necessary details regarding all procedures for your wedding including any extras, legal requirements and location. After this meeting, your wedding co-ordinator will arrange (if required) flowers, photographer, videographer, musicians, music to be played (we recommend you take a tape/cd if you have a particular song), beauty/hair- dressing appointments. All extras are payable in Mauritius. A price guide can be obtained for each resort. Two witnesses are needed. These can be provided by the hotel if required. If the bride has been divorced in the last 10 months, she will need a Mauritian Doctor's certificate of non- pregnancy. This is at the client's expense. Renewal of vows can also be arranged at the hotels. Wedding couples receive the exclusive honeymoon gift pack, which varies as per hotel chosen.
