Frequently Asked Questions Q. How do I contact my Wedding Coordinator at the hotel? A. You may contact us via email at housefd@eleganthotels.com. Q. What travel documents do I need to bring? A. You will need to travel with both passports, birth certificates, divorce decree if applicable and death certificate if applicable. Q. How do we obtain our Marriage License? A. Your wedding coordinator will arrange a visit to the registry with transfers to and from the hotel. Q. When and where will we meet our wedding coordinator once we arrive? A. Upon arrival, there will be a welcome letter from your wedding coordinator which will include the date and location of your wedding meeting. This meeting is usually held in the lounge. Q. It will just be the two of us traveling. Who will be our witnesses? A. Your wedding coordinator and/or Ambassadors would be happy to act as your witnesses. Q. How many weddings are hosted each day? A. We understand how special this day is for your, that is why we mostly host only one wedding per day*, to ensure that you receive the individual attention and privacy you deserve. * A maximum of two weddings are held per day.
Frequently Asked Questions Q. What happens on our wedding day? A. On the day of the ceremony, the groom is offered a separate room to prepare (subject to availability). Your wedding coordinator will decorate your chosen ceremonial location and collect the deliveries of wedding items. If you have hired a photographer/videographer, they will take pre-ceremony photographs of the bride and groom separately (if advised). As the time nears for the ceremony proceedings, the Wedding Coordinator will visit the bride's room to escort her to the location, where the bride will "walk down the aisle" to her waiting groom. Once the ceremony is completed, there will be the signing of the vows, followed by a small reception to toast the newlyweds. If a photographer/videographer has been hired, a post- ceremony photography session for the bride and groom will follow. Q. When will we receive our wedding certificate? A. Wedding certificates are usually provided at the ceremony. In the event that this is not possible, you will certainly receive it prior to your departure. Q. Can we invite guests to the wedding if they are not staying at the hotel? A. Certainly! If this is in addition to the number of extra persons your ceremony allows, then this cost will be USD $10.00 per person. Q. Is it possible to arrange a private wedding reception? A. Of course! We would be happy to arrange a private reception for your celebrations. Please contact us for more information on banquet packages and pricing.
