Curacao weddings

Wedding requirements in Curacao are the same as in Aruba. As a wedding photographer, I've seen all sorts of different wedding requirements, from super easy to super onerous. Curacao is somewhat in the middle. You will need to bring documentation that you're single and can therefore marry; you'll need a passport, a birth certificate with an official, raised seal; and some official witnesses (though you can hire them from the court for some extra money. What's important is that you'll need to send all your documents into the Civil Registry about a month before your wedding so they can review everything and approve them. It's all pretty easy, but it's not as easy as some of the other islands, where you just show up and get married.

At any rate, Curacao is definilely a place to consider. It's got a rich, Dutch heritage, so you'll be sure to love all the beautiful and colorful architecture. The rich pastel colors on all the buildings are quite pretty, and serve as a great backdrop for wedding photographers. Curacao is pretty easy to get to, and accepts flights from select airports in North America. If you can't find a simple, direct flight, see if you can fly to Aruba and then take an internal flight over to Curacao. The internal flight should probably take about a half hour.

Best places to get married on Curacao

What to do on Curacao

There are tons of fun activities for you and your wedding guests on Curacao. The geography and environment is similar to Aruba and Bonaire - it's relatively flat and dry compared to islands like Guadeloupe or Montserrat. If you're a nature lover, you can check out Christoffel National Park where you'll find some cool native paintings left by the Arawak Indians. You can also climb Mount Christoffel, which is 1300 feet tall. There's also the Shete Boka National Park, which double breeding grouds for sea turtles. There are some fun sea caves to explore (with waterfalls inside) as well as a great aquarium. For a fun cultural activty, check out the Floating Market. A flotilla of boats comes in from Venezuela selling all sorts of goods, and shopping in the market can be a blast. Unlike Bonaire, Curacao has some nice beaches to simply lay back and relax.

Dreamtime Verdict: Curacao

Great year-round option for people seeking a blend of everything. Curacao is outside the hurrican belt, so you can be less choosey about your wedding dates. For a wedding photographer, there are many beautiful backdrops to choose for your wedding pictures. It's not as undeveloped, like Bonaire, but it's also less built-up like Aruba. Aruba's hotel district is lots of fun, but it's dense, so some couples find it a turn-off. If you are looking for a November wedding and want a mix of peace and quiet and fun nightlife,d consider Curacao.
