The Plan Stage: 60 days to 1 year prior to your Wedding
Think of your wedding as a movie. Like any award winning film, a wedding has intensity and meaning, preluded with a dramatic moment that builds up to an exciting climax and satisfying end. When planning, take an imaginary journey through your wedding scene by scene. Incorporate the ideas created during your dream stage and imagine how you'll feel at each moment of each scene. Conceptualize each scene of your wedding as you plan, from arriving to your cruise port and boarding the ship, to the vows, music and cuisine throughout the wedding and honeymoon.
Step 1
Gather all your Information
Review your Celebrity Cruises Travel Brochure and "Celebrity Weddings" Brochure. Remember, the bride and groom must be sailing to hold a wedding onboard a Celebrity vessel.
Step 2
Decide on a Wedding Date
Contact a Vacations To Go group specialist for a cruise quote. Check availability of your wedding date. Your Event Manager can place your date on a courtesy hold for three (3) business days. Remember the hold will automatically cancel if payment has not been received.
Confirm with your Event Manager that the courthouse on your wedding day will be open as some courts are closed on local and national holidays plus some weekends.
Step 3
Place a Deposit on your Cruise
Discuss flight, hotel and transfer options.
If you are being married on the day of sailing, Celebrity strongly encourages you and your guests to arrive at least one day prior to your wedding.
Gather information about pre and post hotel packages.
All wedding couples and their guests with a wedding on the day of sailing are requested to be at the pier by 10:30 AM. Celebrity transfers may not be available for wedding parties from the hotel/airport to the ship due to time constraints.
Step 4
Advise your Vacations To Go group specialist or Celebrity Event Manager to book your wedding with the "Celebrity Weddings" Department
Your cruise must be booked prior to your wedding.
When booking your wedding, you will need your cruise reservation number.
Full payment for the wedding package and marriage license is due at the time of booking in order to reserve your wedding day. Please be sure to review the cancellation policy.
Step 5
Complete your Wedding Paperwork and Return it to the "Celebrity Weddings" Department
After you book your wedding, your Event Manager will send you guidelines for your selected wedding destination and a contract. Once your signed contract is received, your wedding will be officially booked.
Step 6
Create your Wedding Guest List
Send out a "Save the Date" announcement with cruise details to your guests who will be attending the wedding.
Step 7
Contact your Event Manager to start Planning Details
Your Event Manager is available to answer questions at anytime during your planning stage.

Ports of Call
Marriage License Overview
The bridal couple is responsible for obtaining a valid marriage license from the port of call where they have selected to hold their wedding. Your Event Manager can assist in obtaining a marriage license in most ports of call for an additional processing fee. Once the wedding has been reserved, your Event Manager will send the bridal couple detailed marriage license requirements. All applications and appropriate documents must be received sixty (60) days prior to the sail date to avoid late fees. All prices listed are starting package pricing and are in US Dollars. Please note that in some ports of call, the courts are closed on weekends as well as local and national holidays. Some may charge additional weekend or holiday fees. The marriage license must be presented to the Marriage Officiant prior to the ceremony. Please note that all licensing and holiday fees are non-refundable.
Wedding couples that reside in Europe who will have their wedding performed in the United States or St. Thomas may need to acquire an Apostille for an additional fee. The Apostille is verification from the United States government that the marriage license is a true and legal document. All couples should check with their local marriage bureau to see if this document is necessary for them to register the marriage in their country of residence.
Please note: Below are Ports of Call where Celebrity can perform legal ceremonies. Celebrity can also perform Symbolic Ceremonies in most any Port of Call.

Important Guidelines
Booking:
Please reserve your wedding date and customized selections early. Due to the individual care "Celebrity Weddings" Event Managers give each wedding, Celebrity is limited in the number of ceremonies that can be coordinated on each ship and at each port of call. All ceremonies and receptions are reserved based on availability. Ceremonies may only be held without payment for seventy-two (72) hours. To avoid a $250.00 late fee, please arrange your wedding at least sixty (60) days prior to the sail date of your cruise vacation. Celebrity's "Celebrity Weddings" Event Managers will work with you to create the perfect wedding that suits your individual style. Your wedding date will be reserved as soon as full payment for your wedding package and a signed contract is received. Wedding arrangements may be paid in US Dollars by credit card, travel agency check, certified check or international money order. Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover are also accepted.
Once your wedding is confirmed with payment and a signed contract, a wedding reservation can only be rescheduled outside of sixty (60) days prior to the sail date. If you need to reschedule the date of your wedding for any reason, it is subject to availability and a rescheduling fee of $250.00.
Due to the limited availability of some services, "Celebrity Weddings" encourages couples to book custom options as soon as choices are made. Enhancements will be confirmed upon full receipt of payment. Additions and changes may only be received up to forty-five (45) days prior to the sail date of your cruise vacation.
As a complimentary service provided by Celebrity Cruises, wedding parties may have up to ten (10) non-sailing guests in attendance at the wedding ceremony. If there are more than ten (10) non-sailing guests, a reception package must be booked. Additional cake and champagne does not constitute a reception. If a reception is booked on the ship, additional non-sailing guests may attend the ceremony and reception. Please note that in some ports of call, non-sailing guests are not permitted to board the ship due to security restrictions
Wedding parties with a reception may have a maximum of one hundred and fifty (150) non-sailing guests board the ship for their celebration. Wedding parties with 25 - 50 guests require the services of an additional Wedding Coordinator and will be charged an additional $150.00 US Dollars. For each additional twenty-five (25) guests, "Celebrity Weddings" requires the services of one additional Wedding Coordinator. Couples who choose to have a destination wedding ceremony may purchase an onboard reception following their ceremony. There is an additional fee of $150.00 US Dollars as onboard receptions require a Wedding Coordinator.
Please be advised that in the event of strikes, lockouts, riots, weather conditions, change of itineraries, missed ports, mechanical difficulties or other unforeseen circumstances, Celebrity Cruises may at any time and without prior notice cancel, advance, postpone or deviate from any scheduled sailing or port of call. "Celebrity Weddings" shall not be liable for any loss whatsoever incurred by reason of such cancellation, advancement, postponement or deviation. Please refer to Celebrity's brochures and cruise ticket contract for additional terms and conditions regarding your cruise vacation.
Boarding:
Priority boarding is provided for bridal couples (as well as their guests) who are being married on the day of sailing. If you have not registered online, please have your cruise documents completed prior to arriving at the cruise terminal. All wedding couples must present themselves to the Wedding Coordinator to check in and to be escorted to the ship. There may be lines for regular passengers to check-in and to board the ship, therefore, checking in with the Wedding Coordinator is the only way Celebrity can ensure bridal couples and their guests do not wait in line unnecessarily. The boarding time is controlled by U.S. Customs and Immigration. No one is permitted to board the ship until U.S. Customs and Immigration clear the ship. A Wedding Coordinator will greet the bridal party and guests at the security desk inside the terminal area and escort them onboard ship and then escort the couple to their stateroom. Couples may board as soon as US Customs clears the ship, which is typically between Noon and 12:30 pm. All sailing and non-sailing guests will receive special priority check-in, provided they arrive at the pier by 10:30 am. Non-sailing guests will not be able to purchase food or beverages while onboard the ship or at the cruise terminal.
Luggage:
It is extremely important the wedding party personally carry all items onboard that are to be used in the ceremony. This includes the tuxedo, wedding dress, shoes, jewelry, etc. for the entire wedding party (bride, groom, bridesmaids, groomsmen). Security will only allow one small carry on and a garment bag per person. Luggage checked with the luggage handlers may not arrive in the stateroom until well after the ceremony.
Wedding Locations and Times:
Ceremony times and locations are assigned according to the requirements of each wedding or onboard event. Times and venue will be confirmed approximately two (2) weeks prior to the sail date of your cruise vacation. According to the number of guests, weddings are performed in the ship's library, chapel (if applicable) or in one of the ship's lounges. For safety reasons much of the furniture onboard is anchored in place and therefore cannot be reconfigured. Wedding decorations for the ceremony include two (2) white columns and two (2) silk flower arrangements. The type of reception purchased determines the length of time allotted for a reception. In some ports, reception times may be limited. For more details, please check with your Event Manager.
The ship's Captain does not have the authority to perform wedding ceremonies. All ceremonies are civil ceremonies performed by a government-approved official.
Hurricane Policy:
If in hurricane season, before the ship sets sail or if the ship is not sailing, Couples are given the opportunity to completely cancel their wedding and they will receive a full refund of their wedding package minus the marriage license fees, any fees for special orders to be provided by a shoreside vendor and a $250.00 administrative fee. The Couple may also opt to have a symbolic ceremony onboard while the ship is sailing. No refund will be due for this option. If possible, Celebrity will try to schedule the wedding at another port of call depending on the ship's itinerary. If the Couple opts to have their wedding at the new port of call, the ceremony will be symbolic due to the fact that Celebrity may not have enough time to obtain a new marriage license. No compensation will be given for this option.
Itinerary Changes:
When not in hurricane season, the following will apply: If possible, Celebrity will try to schedule the wedding at another port of call depending on the ship's itinerary. If the Couple opts to have their wedding at the new port of call, the ceremony will be symbolic due to the fact that Celebrity may not have enough time to obtain a new marriage license. The Couple may also opt to have a symbolic ceremony onboard while the ship is sailing. No compensation will be given for either option. If the Couple decides not accept either of these options and prefers not to proceed with the wedding, no compensation will be given.
Cancellation Policy:
For a refund of your wedding or ceremony enhancements, "Celebrity Weddings" must receive notice of cancellation in writing no later than sixty (60) days prior to your sailing date. A refund, less $250.00 US Dollars administration fee and the license fees, will be issued. Refunds will not be granted for cancellations made less than sixty (60) days prior to sail date.
Important Note: Wedding package details and pricing are subject to change
by cruise lines without notice.
