Destination Wedding

There are destination weddings, and then there are Fijian destination weddings. Known the world over as the standard-bearer for island decadence, Fiji's smaller outlying islands have today become the true embodiment of elegance. Perhaps that's why captains of industry, movie stars and discriminating lovers continue to make Turtle Island the most exclusive haven for nuptials on earth.

White sand, brilliant sunsets, whispering seas and all the privacy you could ever desire await along these shores. Ringed by coral and boasting opulent "bures" (homes) with vaulted hand-woven roofs and terracotta floors, the private beaches of Turtle Island have been called "impossibly lush" by Condé Nast Traveler. Stroll along the shoreline a few paces and you may discover the island's own organic garden, home to lemongrass, fresh papaya and much, much more.

The wedding ceremonies themselves are stocked with an abundance of local flora, exquisite catered food and free-flowing champagne throughout the evening. Guests are supplied with fragrant garlands to wear, and the bride arrives by bili bili (beach raft) to the clarion cry of conch shells. When the vows are completed and everyone has raised a glass into the warm air, all present participate in a raucous Kava ceremony to celebrate new beginnings.

Destination weddings on Fiji are intimate affairs that bring together true rustic island romance with the best of modern amenities.
