Fiji Weddings & Honeymoons

Fiji

Here's a little secret anyone thinking about getting married should be aware of. I know this because I got married in Fiji and visit these beautiful islands often.

First of all, Fiji is only 8 hours from Los Angeles, and the flights leave a 11 PM so you don't lose a day flying. You board, you watch a movie, eat a nice meal, take a nap and you wake up in paradise at 5 am, early enough to enjoy the full day.

The registrars office in Nadi, (pronounced Nandi) is about the most friendly place I've ever experienced. It only takes about 15 minutes to get your marriage license and a hug. 

Then you have a choice to stay on Viti Levu, the main island where you can find nice accommodations, adventures, rafting, biking, jeeping, etc--or catch a boat to your favorite island, or take a float plane to remote Islands.

You have a lot of choices of islands to pick a romantic wedding location, or weddingmoon at. Most couples choose weddingmoons, because your honeymoon begins to moment you get married. 

There are luxurious Island resorts that are simply amazing. Then there are some Fiji Island resorts that are very nice, but not so expensive. When I say expensive, I mean $7000 to $12,000 for two for a week including airfare.

As the founder of Travelwizard.com I could have stayed at anyplace I wanted, but we decided on Malolo Lailai Island's Musket Cove Resort in the Mamanuca Island Chain. It was only $3,300 for both of us for 8 days including airfare. The marina and boats and proximity to the barrier reef was important because I'm a diver. 

Now get this, the wedding ceremony which included flowers, a big floral arch and an outrigger canoe decorated like a Rose Parade float, a minister, champagne, food and drinks and a native band playing Fiji love songs that lasted from 11 AM to 12,00 that night only cost $430. All the local Fijian's came and participated, singing and playing like only Fijian's can do.

 Money couldn't have bought a better experience, the natives were so friendly and genuine it made for an extraordinary experience. Lots of hugs and sincere tears of happiness

We have since sent hundreds of couples to get hitched in Fiji, some at Fiji's most luxurious resorts, and some to everything in between. They all had the same wonderful experience.

So, all in all, especially in our wintertime, Fiji offers a chance to get married on an extraordinary tropical beach, and at all price ranges You don't have to worry who's showing up, what to wear all that stressful stuff. We go married in our bathing suits, my wife had a silk shawl too.
