Bula and a warm Welcome:

For many career-minded couples, organising a wedding takes such enormous effort that the idea of 'eloping' can be very attractive, especially when the wedding can take place in the romantic setting of Vatulele.

The Vatulele Wedding service is usually held on the beach at sunset, in a 'church' with doors and windows created from plaited coconut leaves and flowers. Traditionally dressed Fijian warriors accompany the bride on a barge trip across the lagoon, and children toss flower petals in the sand as she is carried ashore to take her vows. The ceremony is accompanied by the mellow voices of a village choir raised in sublime harmony.

Wedding ceremonies at Vatulele are not merely 'show business' however. The vows are solemnised by a Fijian minister, and because of their popularity, we limit them to three a month. All the guests are invited: they participate in champagne toasts, the traditional Kava ceremony, a native feast cooked in pits in the ground, and later enjoy the villagers' genuine ceremonial dances.

For all concerned, a Vatulele wedding is the fantasy of a lifetime come true.

Upon arrival at the resort, couples discuss the service in detail with the island management. Any special requests may be made at this time. A minimum of 6 nights required.

Flowers including a wedding bouquet are provided depending upon what is currently in season in Fiji. Requests for professional bouquets and decorations must be made with the island management upon arrival.

Because Vatulele is a remote location, most couples elect to have a staff member and/or other guests take the photographs using their own equipment.

The actual wedding itself is held on the beach of the resort prior to sunset. Floral archways are constructed from island flowers and palm leaves, and an alter is positioned in front of these. Fellow guests of the resort attend the wedding ceremony and the subsequent wedding banquet held that evening.
The Fijian minister resides on the island and is a Methodist. The service performed is that of the Uniting Church. Please note that Catholic or alternative services are not available.
