Book Wedding Vendors Early in Mauritius: Avoid Last-Minute Stress & Missed Dates

Wedding

In Mauritius, the best wedding professionals and venues get booked early—especially on weekends and during popular wedding months. If you wait too long, you may end up compromising on quality, availability, or location.

This guide explains what to book first, why vendors fill up quickly, and how to plan smart so you get the team you really want.


Why booking early matters in Mauritius

1) Popular vendors take limited weddings per month

A top photographer, décor team, or planner can only handle a certain number of events each month. Once their calendar is full, that’s it.

2) Peak dates fill up fast

Weekends, school holidays, and festive periods are high demand. Even if your wedding is “months away,” vendors may already be booked.

3) Your venue choice affects everything

The venue decides:

  • the wedding style (beach, garden, hall, resort)
  • capacity and layout
  • sound rules and timing
  • available vendor options

That’s why venue booking should happen early.

What to book first (priority list)

1) Venue (and wedding date)

Your venue is the foundation. Secure your date first so every other booking is easier.

2) Photographer / videographer

In Mauritius, photographers can book out months ahead. If photos matter to you, don’t wait.

3) Planner / décor team

A strong planner or décor team reduces stress, coordinates vendors, and handles timelines.

Tip: If you’re doing an outdoor wedding, link your vendor decisions to timing (golden hour planning). Read Tip 2 here → /best-time-outdoor-wedding-mauritius/

4) Catering / DJ / entertainment

Some venues offer packages; others require you to bring vendors. Book early to avoid limited choices.


A simple approach to booking wedding suppliers in Mauritius (step-by-step)

  1. Confirm your wedding style (beach, garden, hall, resort)
  2. Choose your district (North, West, East, South, Port Louis area)
  3. Book venue + date
  4. Book photographer/videographer
  5. Book planner/décor/catering
  6. Confirm timelines and logistics

Common mistake: relying only on Facebook posts

Many couples find vendors through Facebook groups—but posts disappear quickly. You may struggle to find:

  • real portfolios
  • updated pricing
  • reviews
  • availability

That’s why using a central place to shortlist wedding suppliers can save a lot of time. Browse categories here
