Why Choose Cuba for Your Destination Wedding?
Cuba offers a perfect blend of rich Caribbean culture, vibrant salsa music, and breathtaking natural beauty. Imagine exchanging vows in a romantic gazebo overlooking the coral reefs, or having a barefoot beach wedding on the soft sands of Playa Pilar. With its tropical sun and warm hospitality, Cuba provides an idyllic backdrop for a truly magical wedding experience. For those who appreciate history, the colonial architecture of cities like Trinidad and Old Havana offers a unique and picturesque setting. Our team can help you find the perfect wedding venue, whether it's a tranquil garden or a lively beach.

Legal Requirements for Canadian Citizens
When planning a civil wedding in Cuba, it's essential to understand the legal wedding requirements. Our team, with our local representation and direct coordination with Sunwing Weddings and Meliá Cuba staff, will guide you through every step.
To ensure your legal wedding is valid, you will need to prepare a few key documents. All documents must be original, translated into Spanish, and authenticated by Global Affairs Canada and the Cuban consulate in Canada before you travel.
-
For Never Married: Valid passport, birth certificate, and a single status affidavit.
-
For Divorced: Valid passport, birth certificate, divorce certificate (Divorce Decree), and a single status affidavit.
-
For Widowed: Valid passport, birth certificate, previous marriage certificate, and the death certificate of your spouse.
Your wedding coordinators at the resort will assist with the final civil registration in Cuba, ensuring a smooth process. It is highly recommended to arrive in Cuba at least three business days before the wedding day to complete all the necessary legal formalities with the notary.
