The trade winds shape the year. The southeast winds from roughly May to September bring breezier, choppier conditions, while the northwest winds from December to March bring more rain and humidity. The calmer transitional months around April, May and October are often the sweet spot.
Guests fly into Mahé, then reach Praslin and La Digue by short flight or ferry. Inter island travel takes planning, so a planner arranges transfers and a room block and keeps the schedule realistic across the islands.
Island logistics. Spreading a larger guest list across several islands and resorts adds real complexity, which is why Seychelles suits intimate weddings best. A planner keeps the numbers and the island plan in sensible proportion.
Most planners in Seychelles charge either a flat planning fee or a percentage of the overall wedding budget, and many small weddings and elopements are built on a package, reviewed July 2025. Confirm the model and what it includes directly with each studio.
