Destination Weddings

When efficiency meets romance, you've got the makings of a destination wedding. A destination wedding is when you combine the honeymoon and the wedding ceremony in an exotic setting. It allows you to plan a special ceremony without the long and arduous process of details, details, details. Many of our destination weddings allow us to prepare all legal documents and special arrangements prior to your arrival so that when you get there, all you do is enjoy the moment. Talk about hassle free.

Your destination wedding can be as lavish as a ceremony aboard a yacht with family and friends or it can be as simple as just the two of you exchanging vows on a quiet beach on some enchanted island. We have planned destination weddings for two and for two hundred.

Sound expensive? When you consider the cost of putting on a wedding locally, you would be surprised that sometimes, a destination wedding is more cost effective than the more traditional wedding arrangements. Some resorts include the wedding in the honeymoon.

Let us take care of the tedious details. You simply enjoy each other.


TURTLE ISLAND WEDDING, FIJI

Imagine celebrating that special day in an exotic tropical setting; meeting your loved one on a white, sandy beach with a warm breeze stirring the air. On Turtle, weddings are special events, and some of our guests' fondest memories are of the delightful Fijian wedding ceremonies held at sunset on the shores of the famous Blue Lagoon.

The bride and groom dress in traditional Fijian wedding attire made especially for them by the Turtle Island staff members. The cloth is tapa, made from tree bark and hand-painted with traditional Fijian symbols in tan, brown and black. All of the guests, along with the bride and groom, wear garlands of fresh, fragrant flowers around their necks.

The trumpeting of conch shells announce the bride's arrival on the wedding raft. Drums beat ceremonial rhythms as the bride disembarks and is escorted to her groom by two Fijian attendants. As they approach the archway of the outdoor altar, they are heralded by a robed Fijian choir.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds are carried on a throne to the wedding lovo, or feast, typically consisting of roast pig, fresh seafood and other local delicacies. No wedding is complete without a cake, so our staff bakes and decorates a traditional, tiered confection worthy of the most sophisticated gathering. Then, under the soft glow of lantern light guests and staff alike raise their glasses in a toast to the happy couple before they retire to their honeymoon bure.

Turtle weddings aren't just for newlyweds. They're also a lovely way to renew vows. Our staff will make all the preparations, from the wedding clothes to the wedding feast.

Catholic and Methodist clergy are available from neighboring island missions, along with a Fijian choir to sing their traditional selections and you own wedding favorites. Our staff members and guests are also delighted to participate in such a joyous event.

To assure that everything proceeds smoothly, plan to arrive in Nadi on a weekday, at least three days before your wedding day. This allows time to obtain your license before coming to Turtle, time to get acquainted with staff members and fellow guests, for the feast to be planned and wedding garments prepared.
