Vatulele Island Resort - Weddings
A Vatulele wedding is where the fantasy
of a lifetime comes true! For
many career-minded couples, organizing
a wedding takes an enormous
effort that the idea of ‘eloping’ can
become extremely attractive, especially
when the wedding can take
place on the romantic beachfront of Vatulele Island Resort.
This is your day the way you have dreamt it, magical, exquisite, every detail, perfect. Enchanting, barefoot luxury - filled with grace and style. Stolen moments become memories of a lifetime amidst your Vatulele wedding.
The service is often held on the private beach at sunset, in a ‘church’ with
doors and windows created from plaited coconut leaves and flowers. Occasionally,
traditionally dressed Fijian warriors accompany the bride on a tranquil
barge trip across the lagoon whilst the bride is carried ashore to take
her vows. The ceremony is accompanied by the charming voices of a village
choir raised in sublime harmony.
Wedding ceremonies at Vatulele Island Resort are not merely a show. The
vows are solemnized by a Fijian minister, and as a result of their popularity,
weddings are limited to only a few per month. Each wedding is tailored according
to the guest’s requirements, with romantic and traditional options
including traditional Kava ceremony and dancing in a selection of romantic
dinner locations.
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.
All guests are often invited to participate in your champagne toast, the traditional Kava ceremony, a native feast, and later enjoy the villagers' genuine ceremonial dances – For all concerned, a Vatulele wedding is a fantasy of a lifetime come true.

Wedding
Date and Minimum Stay
The wedding service is usually held towards the end of the couples stay, however the exact date of the wedding service cannot be guaranteed due to the availability of the Minister / Celebrant and subject to weather conditions. Requests for particular dates, however, will be taken into accounts and met, where possible. The resort is unable to conduct a weekend wedding service.
Terms and condiitons
A Fijian wedding is based on English Law and therefore legally binding and recognised worldwide. The resort strictly limits the number of weddings performed, therefore, early bookings are recommended to avoid disappointment.
Documentation
and Registration
On the day of transfer to Vatulele a member of our Nadi office staff will arrange to meet clients (at a time and place to be confirmed at the time of booking). They will transport guests to the Registry office to complete the application for the Wedding License. A current passport, original birth certificate, and proof or annulment (if previously married) is required. NB the wedding must occur within 28 days of the application. Once the actual service has taken place, the island will forward your signed documents to the mainland for processing. Copies of the original Wedding Certificate will be mailed to guests approximately 4 weeks from this date. A processing fee is charged to ensure that the Wedding Certificate is issued within this period. There is a cost of this service – please ask our office staff for further details at the time of registration.
