Nevis is of course, an ideal place for a honeymoon, but with its natural backdrops of lush tropical foliage, its world class service, wide range of accommodations and lack of complicated bureaucracy, it's also a great place to get married.

    The setting can be as formal or as casual as the couple desires.  Golden Rock will be happy to help with all your wedding needs - from providing a magistrate or religious minister, flowers and photography, to special dinners, music and accommodations for the wedding party.

    Honeymooners who wish to be pampered can choose from lazy days on sun drenched beaches, a leisurely sailboat cruise, a horse drawn carriage ride through the hills of Gingerland, or a massage or facial.  For the more active couple there are rain forests to explore, guided hiking, historical exploration, tennis, golf, horseback riding, deep sea fishing, wind surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling and ocean kayaking.
 

Marriage Requirements:

1.  Marriage licenses are obtained through the Legal Department, Administration Building, Charlestown and cost US $80 or EC $200.

3. To get married, couples should be on Nevis for two (2) full working days before the wedding day/date.

5. If either party is widowed, a copy of the death certificate of the deceased spouse must be presented.

6. If the ceremony is to be performed by a Catholic priest, it must take place in a Catholic Church, and a letter must come from the couple's resident priest verifying that they are unmarried and have received the necessary instructions.

7. If an Anglican priest or other minister of religion is to perform the ceremony, a letter must come from the couple's resident minister verifying that they are known and unmarried.

8.  If the couple is resident in Nevis for the stipulated period, a notary public and a marriage officer would have to be paid, and the charges vary from officer to officer.
