Budget snapshot

$25K-$70K estimate

Based on Turks & Caicos average ($25K-$70K) for a 30-80 guest wedding

What drives this estimate
  • Guest count: a 30-80 guest party - more guests means more catering and room nights
  • Resort tier: luxury properties; all-inclusive vs à la carte swings this the most
  • Season: peak months (November) cost more than shoulder season

Legal ceremony available

Turks & Caicos allows foreigners to legally marry. You must be present in the islands for at least 48 hours before applying for a marriage license. Required documents: valid passports, notarized copies of birth certificates, and proof of single status. If divorced, a certified decree absolute is needed. Marriage license costs US $250 from the Registrar General's Office in Providenciales. Two witnesses (other than the officiant) must be present. Note: same-sex marriage ceremonies cannot be performed in TCI, though a 2025 Court of Appeal ruling requires recognition of same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions for immigration purposes.

Marriage laws and document requirements change. Confirm with your planner or the country's consulate before you book.
