The day before the wedding we take you to the District Court officer in Taveuni to arrange for your wedding license. In order to obtain the license you will need your passport, birth certificates, and if divorced, the final divorce papers. A Fijian wedding is recognized internationally.

Our Fijian beach weddings are usually held on a beautifully decorated part of our beachfront gardens in the late afternoon facing the west and the sunset. Before your wedding you will be dressed in traditional Fijian Tapa cloth attire topped with floral salusalu (lei).

The service is held with the local Minister or Priest presiding and with our staff joining in with the singing of traditional Fijian wedding songs. The service is conducted in English. The registrar is then signed and witnessed and you will be toasted with champagne.

We then take a short break so you can change into comfortable clothing and relax while we prepare for the evening's entertainment.

The evening program starts with Meke which is a Fijian group presenting traditional songs and dance. All guests are then invited to join in dancing to the music of our House Band, who then continue to play throughout the evening.

The sound of Lali Drums then summons all to the Fijian buffet dinner. A heart shaped wedding cake is then presented to you. Then the evening continues as evenings inevitably do!

During the day guests can watch the preparations for the Lovo, which is the traditional method of cooking food underground and is the basis of the buffet dinner. This is similar to the "Luau" or "Hangi" and includes pork, fish, chicken, taro, and many other Fijian specialties.
