Fiji Wedding FAQs

With Fiji’s temperature climate with warm weather all year round, any time, day or night, is suitable for your Fiji wedding ceremony. Typically, most couples choose to hold their wedding ceremony between 2-5 pm.

The number of guests each resort can accommodate depends on the size of the resort and the capacity of their reception room or area. The outer island resorts aren’t as large as the mainland resorts so are unable to accommodate a large of guests. If you are planning a big wedding, we recommend opting for one of the larger mainland resorts like the InterContinental, Sofitel, Outrigger or Shangri-La. Contact our friendly team for advice on the best resort to accommodation your guest numbers.

Typically, the wedding ceremony lasts 15-20 minutes.

This varies from serendader to seranader. Some won’t take song requests and only sing traditional Fijian hymns.  Others are happy to take song requests. Speak to your Fiji Bride wedding specialist for more information.

This varies depending on the resort where your wedding is being held.  At the larger resorts, there are dedicated wedding function rooms so there is no need to book a restaurant.  The restaurants are for the use of all guests and it’s not possible to rent them out.  At some of the smaller, outer island resorts you can reserve the restaurant for a private function but this varies from resort to resort.  Speak to your Fiji Bride wedding specialist for more information.

This varies for each resort. The standard cut-off time for wedding receptions in Fiji is usually 10 pm.  It’s important to note that other guests are staying at their resort and they need to be considered. Many of the larger resorts have nightclubs where your guests can kick on after your wedding reception.

If you want your wedding reception to continue long into the night, we can suggest resorts that have more flexibility in this regard.  Another consideration is to hold your wedding in a private residence on one of the outer islands. These luxury residences are usually separate from other resort accommodations so party noise isn’t such a problem.

No, BYO alcohol is strictly prohibited at all resorts. If you want to supply your own alcohol, please let our team know and we can suggest alternative arrangements.

Yes, most resorts will cater for special dietary requirements. Please let us know if this is the case so we can liaise with the resort directly.

Usually, we ask you to confirm the final guest count 30 days prior to the wedding date.

Nanny services are available at all the resorts (except adults only resorts).  Nannies are permitted to stay with the children during the ceremony and reception at the request of the guest.
