Getting married in Fiji? Wedding and honeymoon ideas.
The Fiji Islands are a vibrant palette of azure waters, white sand beaches and lush, tropical landscapes making it a jaw dropping backdrop for a stunning wedding and honeymoon that oozes romance and beauty.
Over the past 40 years our specialist Fiji wedding planners and travel agents have worked with hundreds of couples planning everything from intimate elopement ceremonies to enormous weddings with hundreds of guests.
One of the most common questions we’re asked by brides (and a few grooms) is “We want to make our wedding / honeymoon unique. What would you suggest?”.
In response to this we’ve put together our top 5 unique Fiji wedding and honeymoon ideas. Be sure to check back regularly as we plan to add to this list from time to time.
1. Share a kiss at Taveuni’s 180th-meridian marker
The 180th meridian passes through Fiji and forms the geographic basis for the International Date Line. The actual date line bends around Fiji so the whole country shares the same calendar date and time zone.
Taveuni’s 180th-meridian marker makes a memorable spot for a honeymoon photo and a symbolic kiss across the line. Stepping across the marker does not change the calendar date.
Taveuni is usually reached by domestic flight to Matei Airport, with onward transfers arranged for your chosen resort. Ask us about visiting the meridian marker and other things to do in Fiji.
2. Hire an entire Fiji island resort just for you and your friends
Imagine escaping to your own Fiji private island resort where the only guests are your friends and family and the role of the resort staff is to cater to your every whim!
Formerly thought to be the domain of the super rich, the potential to hold your wedding on your very own slice of Fijian paradise may be within reach.
Wake up to the sounds of the lapping ocean mere metres from your bed or stay in a tree house hidden among the palms where there’s nothing between you and the cool ocean breeze but a sheer mosquito net. Relax to the silence and serenity of island life as you shake off the stresses of twenty first century living but with all the five star mod-cons you’re accustomed.

3. Leave the crowd behind and get married at sea
Charter parts of the Fijian archipelago not seen by many as you sail into married life aboard a cruise liner, sailing boat, catamaran or luxury motoryacht. Sail across turquoise waters to unspoilt beaches where the cool shade of swaying palms fan beautiful white sand – the perfect backdrop to say your “I Dos”.
The beauty of Fiji lies in her diversity and, with over 330 islands to explore, traversing her waters by boats provides an unforgettable experience for all on board.
Swim in crystal clear water over coral reefs teaming with marine life. Meet locals in traditional villages where you’ll be welcomed like one of the family. Discover UNESCO World Heritage-listed Levuka and its historic colonial architecture where your itinerary allows. Trek to hidden waterfalls or make friends with local fisherman for an abundant supply of freshly caught seafood.
For couples with a love of adventure, a wedding at sea can be memorable. The route, vessel and ceremony location need to be agreed with the operator, with weather, access permissions and the marriage-licence and authorised-officiant arrangements confirmed in advance.

4. Exchange vows on a sand spit in the middle of nowhere
Imagine exchanging vows on a beach where your footprints may be the only ones seen for months – even years.
Depending on the location, access may be by boat, helicopter or seaplane. Our team can explore suitable ceremony settings, subject to venue or landowner permission, safe access, tides, weather and the required legal and officiant arrangements.
Your wedding photos will be testament to an unparalleled experience that few can replicate.
5. Say “I Do” beside a waterfall
For some brides the thought of walking down a church aisle to the tune of “Here Comes the Bride” is enough to incite an outbreak of hives. Particularly when one can replace the church aisle with a lush rainforest walk and the songs of native birds. Only to emerge to greet your future husband who is waiting beside a crystal clear natural pool with cascading waterfall backdrop.
For nature lovers, Fiji has beautiful waterfall settings to explore. A ceremony location needs to be checked for venue or landowner permission, walking access suitable for everyone attending, weather and water conditions, and the required legal and officiant arrangements.
Ask our planners about cultural touches available through your chosen resort or local hosts. A bilibili is a traditional bamboo raft; any raft arrival or ceremonial escort needs to be confirmed with the operator for your venue and date.
