The Hidden Paradise
Newlyweds have often honeymooned in Fiji, and increasingly couples are going one step further and getting married in Fiji, making their wedding ceremony a truly memorable event in a tropical paradise. Savusavu resorts offer many different locations, packages and experiences for your Fiji wedding.
The idea of combining the wedding and honeymoon costs is an attractive alternative to the traditional wedding expense. Just imagine the fun you will have showing your unique photo album and wedding video to family and friends.

Fiji offers a wide range of wedding choices, from private intimate ceremonies on a beautiful sun-drenched white sand beach to a full traditional Fijian ceremony with Fijian wedding attire.
Weddings range from FJ$2.00 at the Registrar's office to US$3,300 at one of Fiji's luxury resorts. This means there is a wedding package price suitable for every budget.
Resorts generally offer specific wedding packages, but small adjustments may be made to customize the ceremony to fit your personalities and desires.
Settings vary from resort to resort and may include a tropical garden ceremony, a raised deck overlooking a blue bay, a local chapel, or a beautiful white sand beach at sunset under a golden sky.
