The real fun begins when you step onto the Wedding Pavilion. There, you will see schools of colorful tropical fish, blacktip reef sharks, sea turtles, and other marine life gliding through the water below through a stunning glass-bottomed aisle.
The views above the water aren’t bad either, as the pavilion’s design allows for spacious views of the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, and the surrounding islands, creating a sense of airy openness and romance.
The resort made the pavilion’s floor from solid, titanium-polished cement (45.058 sq. meters/485 sq. feet) and fastened the Wedding Pavilion to the seabed. They decorated it tastefully with whitewashed wood, flowing white drapes, and fresh tropical flowers, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere atop a calm turquoise sea. The pavilion is a short distance from the northwest tip of the Baa Atoll.

Things you should know:
Citizenship status: The wedding ceremony is strictly ceremonial for those who aren’t citizens of the Maldives. That type of wedding would suit a couple looking for a more intimate experience witnessed by a few close family and friends, and will later have, or already had, an official ceremony in their home country.
Remoteness The Maldivesare about 709 km (441 miles) from India. Specifically, the closest Indian state is Kerala. It’s pretty remote, which puts the Maldives out of reach for many couples planning a destination wedding. The expense and logistics automatically reduce the size of your wedding to a few close family and friends. (The pavilion itself can only accommodate up to 16 people.)
Cost: The Four Seasons at Landaa Giraavaruis a luxury resort, and its Wedding Pavilion is one of its most popular wedding venues. As such, the cost of renting the pavilion can be quite high.
Accessibility: The pavilion is accessible by boat only, which can be inconvenient for guests who are staying in villas in other parts of Baa Atoll. Additionally, the boat ride to the pavilion can be choppy on windy days.
Privacy: The pavilion is located in a relatively secluded area of the island, but it is still possible for other guests to see and hear your ceremony. If you want a private wedding experience, the Wedding Pavilion may not be the best choice.
Weather: The Maldivesis a tropical country, so rain is always possible on your wedding day. if you choose to have your ceremony at the Wedding Pavilion, you must have a backup plan in case of bad weather.
For weddings only: The Wedding Pavilion is only available for weddings and cannot be used for other events.
Minimum guest requirement: The resort has a minimum guest requirement for weddings at the Wedding Pavilion.
Reservations only: The resort requires couples to book their wedding ceremony at least six months in advance.
