Fiji Weddings by Weddings Ireland.com
Why choose Fiji for your wedding? Imagine a sunset ceremony, the sweet essence of tropical flowers surrounding you, the feel of sand between your toes, water lapping at the shore and the harmonious voices of some of the most special and lovable people in the world. On the beach, or in a chapel – a Fijian wedding is pure heaven.
In Fiji there are two main decisions you need to make when considering your wedding – to hold it either on the mainland in one of the bigger hotels, or an island wedding at one of the many perfect island spots. If you take time to talk to one of the many wedding coordinators available in this dream location, you can determine which type of venue would best suit you – for example, the number of guests you wish to have will dictate whether your wedding would be better suited to the mainland or the islands.
For an intimate, small wedding the islands are perfect. There are many island options and most have experience in hosting beautiful weddings. For a smaller guest list, the islands offer the chance to gather together in an intimate setting for a number of days together – and make your wedding a really special occasion for everyone. You can even book the whole island if you like! Choose also to spend your honeymoon right there – no need to worry about transferring to your honeymoon spot. Or choose another island to move onto – a helicopter or seaplane can be arranged to pick you up and transport you in true luxury.
For a larger wedding the mainland offers many benefits. Firstly the ease of transporting your guests in a specially chartered mini van – right from the airport to your hotel. With more accommodation options at a larger hotel your guests are able to spread out more, and also there are more options for fitting into particular budgets. For the bride and groom the mainland larger hotels also offer intimate and wonderful wedding ceremonies – either on beaches, gardens or in a chapel.
