Civil House Wedding Arrangements questions
Is there anyone who can give me either a better contact for the ivil House than I have now...or actually answer the question:
1) Can I come to Aruba the day before the wedding? This would benefit us greatly in terms of timing!!!! -I have tried emailing christiaans...never received a response. -I have tried calling direct...No one EVER answers. (I've also left a message on the machine). Can anyone help me out??? |

Hi danijela,
As far as i know you have to be in aruba 3 full days before you can legally marry there. We had to come out the week before the wedding to make sure. If you email Arlette she will help you out! Letzservices@yahoo.com Kerry Last edited by rettie2011; 03-07-2011 at 12:59 PM. |

There is no rule on Aruba that you have to be a certain number of days here before the wedding. As long as all the documents are ok and the date and time is set you are good to go.
Concerning the contact with the town hall, yes thats difficult and there are no alternatives. Mr. Christiaans is a busy man and simply don't have the time as it seems. Better hire a weddinplanner who take away your worries and know exactly what is needed and take care of everything. Regards, Robert |

Concerning the amount of days you have to here, there are no set rules! We had a wedding party last week that got here on Thursday morning at 8:30am, and were married at 11:00am. All that is necessary is making sure all your papers are in order, and you have your time and date confirmed! This is not something I should advertise, but it has happened that even without all the papers in order we've managed to fix everything right there on the spot and got the wedding to proceed without any problems! Mr. Christiaans is indeed very busy, but he does the best he can, so please be patient when contacting him. If you are doing a destination wedding through a hotel, the coordinator will be able to help you with your papers. If you are doing everything on your own, a wedding coordinator might come in handy as Mr. Robert pointed out, since they are here on Island and can get things done easier and quicker...

 Our son had his wedding on the island ,and the wedding planner did all the leg work on the island. Him and his wife were very pleased with her. They actually had 2 wedding planners. One was from the Amsterdam hotel, where they had the wedding on Saturday. The other planner took care of all the details for the official wedding on friday at the capital building. It was a flawless 2 days. |

I find this odd...as our tour operator thomson / first choice specifically stipulated that we must be resident 3 full days before it is legal.... and ive also read that on other emails.
http://firstchoice.inbro.net/seeinsidebrochure/First-Choice_Weddings-&-Renewal-of-Vows-Nov2010...Oct2011-(November-Edition)/INFORMATION/Legal-Requirements/page_114 Maybe its just for people from Europe or the UK... but thats the rules here... and its why we couldnt go out the week before to get the date we wanted... as we would only have been there 2 days.... |

It seems that Thomson / first choice is not aware of the rules in Aruba. Don't forget they are touroperators, not wedding planners.
That does no mean I would advice to get married the day after arrival, because you never know, you might have a delay. Beside that there is a lot of real old information on the internet, always check the date of the article / post. Regards, Robert |
