Getting Married in Galápagos Islands

✈️ 8 hours (to Quito/Guayaquil) from NYC🗓 Best: June–November🌍 Ecuador

Galápagos Islands is a breathtaking destination-wedding location. The Galápagos Islands are the world's greatest living laboratory — 19 islands where evolution proceeded undisturbed for millions of years, producing wildlife found nowhere else. Giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and Nazca boobies share beaches with snorkelers in one of the world's last truly wild places.

Legal weddings in the Galápagos are restricted by national park regulations. However, unique ceremony experiences on research vessels or conservation sites can be arranged.

The Wedding Unicorn coordinates Galápagos Islands destination weddings end-to-end — venue sourcing and negotiation, vendor coordination (photographers, florists, caterers, musicians), legal marriage documentation, guest travel block negotiation, multi-day event itineraries (welcome dinner, rehearsal, ceremony, day-after brunch), and complete day-of management.

We know what Galápagos Islands requires for legal or symbolic ceremonies, and we have the vendor relationships to deliver quality that matches the extraordinary setting. The Galápagos is the only place on earth where wildlife has never learned to fear humans — sea lions sleep on your towel, iguanas sun themselves beside you, and blue-footed boobies dance at your feet.
