Getting Married in Aruba

Dreams of a lifetime can begin with an “I do” in Aruba.

Aruba serenades newlyweds with the rhythms of the waves softly hitting the shore and the gentle sounds of rustling palms during a moonlit walk on the beach. The idyllic scenery and un-crowded settings of Aruba is perfectly suited to romantic getaways, honeymoons and even weddings. Extensive couple-orientated activities, dining, shopping and nightlife options, in which honeymooners are given special treatment, only help guarantee an unforgettable experience for the special pair.

Civil marriages are now possible in Aruba, but they must take place at the Civil Town House. Couples may also arrange a religious blessing after they have been legally married or just hold a romantic celebration beachside if they prefer.
