Wedding traditions of Port-au-Prince

Haitian weddings bring a church service, a drummed celebration and a feast of griot.

In Haiti, weddings are important family and community events. A civil marriage and a church service are both held in many families, though some couples live together without marrying and marry later in life.

The couple processes with music. The meal includes griot, fried pork, with rice and beans, and a rum drink.

Customs

Vodou families may hold their own ceremony alongside the church service. As of 2026, insecurity in the capital has affected how weddings are held.
