Anyone get married in fiji? or been to a wedding in fiji?

[Madham]

Hi we recently got engaged yay
I have been married before and really did not like my wedding, i am not comfortable about being centre of attention, so this time i would really like to enjoy the day. Dp actually DF lol has agreed that we will have a small wedding with just family and one or two close friends. I am happy to have a party with no speaches etc afterwards with everyone but on the day i want it to just be a select few. We are thinking of getting married in queensland next year as we are having a family holiday with 3 out of my 4 siblings and parents but also toying with the idea of fiji as we have both always wanted to take the kids .
Has anyone been married there and if so, what was it like, would you recommend it?
Or have you been to a wedding there and have some advice?



TIA

Congratulations! My Best friend got married in Fiji at the Warwick Hotel with just family there and she loved it. They didn't have any hassles with paperwork except they needed her parents permission as she was under 21 and in Fiji that was underage. The best thing about this was that she went down with terrible vomiting on her wedding day and couldn't even stand - they couldn't get married that day - they just got married the next day - without a massive reception etc booked it didn't matter and her wedding photo's are beautiful.

Saw a wedding on Tokoriki Island when I was there on my honeymoon and it was absolutely MAGIC.

congratulations.
i was married in fiji last year at the naviti resort on the coral coast, we had a lovely sunset wedding overlooking a remote island on the balcony of the bar at the resort.
i even had a professional photographer, he was really well priced, i think $500 for the whole day and all photos on CD for me to print as i needed.
the wedding co-ordinator at the resort was great we arranged it all via email, was $1600 fijian for the whole package flowers were $120 for huge boquet of frangipannis.
we took over my dress, no issues with the plane they took it up to buisness class and kept it hanging in teh coat cupboard.

the resort is great for kids, we hardly saw DS he spent all his time with the kids club.

we did dinner at the chinese resterant was sooo yummy and all included with our accomidation package.

i had hjair and make up done by the girls there was $50 bucks for both.

i have a stack of photos on my face book page if you want to look.
any questions just ask or send me a pm.

yes it is legal and recognised within australia. we had to send some paper work over and get a single status certificate to say we are not married to someone else lol

My brother is a wedding photographer and he was flown to Fiji to do a wedding about 3 yrs ago so I will ask him about it.
My friends have stayed at the Warwick with their kids a few times and they absolutely love it.
