Legal Requirements
Getting legally married in Colombia as a foreigner can involve significant paperwork (translated birth certificates, passports, single status affidavits, all apostilled).
Pro Tip: Most couples choose to do the legal paperwork in their home country and have a symbolic or religious ceremony in Colombia to save time and stress.
Why Choose Colombia?
- Value: Your budget stretches much further here than in the US or Europe, allowing for high-end catering, florals, and venues.
- Hospitality: Colombians are famous for their warmth and love of a good party (La Hora Loca is a must!).
- Built-in Honeymoon: Guests and the couple can immediately transition into an incredible vacation.
