Considering a wedding in Fiji? There’s a very good reason why the islands are becoming the ultimate wedding destination. Because when it comes to tying the knot, romance, intimacy, and beauty collide to give you the memories of a lifetime.
With a huge number of gorgeous venues and secluded settings to host your ceremony and reception on offer, as well as plenty of activities for the ideal honeymoon, here’s why the idyllic paradise of Fiji is the perfect place for you to say, ‘I Do’.
1. It’s more affordable than you think
There’s no doubt that a Fiji wedding can set you back a few schmeckles, but the amazing thing about planning your wedding in Fiji is that many of the resorts have all-inclusive packages that make everything much more affordable. And when we say all-inclusive, we mean it.
Expect everything included like:
- The ceremony
- Celebrant and license
- Food and drinks
- Flower arrangements
- Hotel stays
Plus, anything else you want to build into your quote! So when you factor in the great deals, as well as the time and stress you’ve saved trying to book everything at home, it’s the perfect and most affordable option.
2. It’s the friendliest place on earth
Fiji is home to the friendliest people on earth, each embodying what is known as the ‘bula spirit’. What does that mean exactly? It’s the idea that everyone who comes to Fiji leaves happier.
Fijians are also known for their hospitality so when visiting, you’ll hear an enthusiastic ‘bula’ from locals which serves as an authentic welcome. And you can rest assured that your wedding will be both a memorable and a relaxing experience.
3. The pictures will be amazing
Let’s be honest, no matter where you go in Fiji, you’ll be guaranteed pristine white sandy beaches, the perfect sunset shot, and glorious crystal waters as your backdrop. Ideal for being able to relive the memories for years to come. Take a look at some of the beautiful couples who have already had their big day in Fiji:
Love Stories from Fiji
Aiden and Kelly
“I’m a big control freak so deciding to get married in Fiji was a big deal for me.
But as soon as we sat down with Mosese I knew we were in good hands. I let go of the reins and trusted in him and he didn’t disappoint. I’m so glad we decided on a destination wedding. Fiji is such a calm, relaxing place and we just took that into our wedding day. It was a beautiful day full of emotion surrounded by so much love and support in the most magical place.”

Eleesa White & Kenny Gee
“We have always loved Fiji and definitely wanted to get married on an Island. Plantation Island was the perfect location, there’s so much to do in Nadi and the resort had so many options and activities also for singles, couples, and families.”
“It felt like we didn’t stop laughing the whole day, night and even the week leading up. We wish we could do it all over again, it was truly the best day celebrating us.”
