A NATURAL BEAUTY
Fiji is astoundingly beautiful , with crystal-clear ocean and white-sand beaches fringed by palms , worldclass snorkelling and diving , and an endearing culture you ’ ll love to immerse yourself in during your destination wedding . And the good news is that temperatures almost always hover between 26 and 31 degrees Celsius , which means tropical splendour year-round ! When planning a wedding , the best time to travel to Fiji is late March to late November , while you may want to avoid the wettest season from December to February to minimise the chance of rain on your wedding day — or make sure your venue has a suitable wet weather option .
PICTURE YOURSELVES
Finding the ideal location to suit your wedding vibe is key . Not just for yourselves , but also for your guests who will be travelling to Fiji with you ( make it a trip — and a celebration ! — to remember !).
Consider , is your dream ceremony location by the beach , at a resort or hotel , or perhaps in a seaside chapel ? And what style of reception do you envision — are you more of a relaxed toes-in-thesand , outdoor reception kind of couple , or do you want something a little more elegant and grand ?
Shortlisting a few places that take your fancy is the best place to start . Then reach out to request packages from each venue and discuss the different options with their wedding coordinator .
ALL FINE ON FIJI TIME
There ’ s a saying in Fiji that the locals work on “ Fiji Time ”, which refers to the relaxed way everything is done . Living in the moment , without stress , worry , or hurry .
While it ’ s one of the most charming traits of Fijians and a Fiji holiday , that same pace can sometimes equate to slower communication when researching or dealing with vendors .
Take time to prepare a list of questions for your resort or vendor on everything you want and need to know ( in advance !), and factor in that many wedding coordinators in Fiji handle several weddings a week in high season , so the more advanced you are in starting the planning , the better .
