- 1 month before: confirm guest numbers and adjust quantities.
- The week before: truck access, on-site contact, set-up time.
High season: April to November, book early
According to Statistics Mauritius, marriages are most frequent from April to November (peaks in July, October and November) and rarest from January to March. In high season, venues and equipment go fast: book the venue 6 to 12 months ahead and equipment 3 to 6 months ahead.
