Getting Married in Paradise
When you've found that perfect someone, let Namale take care of your special day how only we can. Whether you choose the beach or one of our scenic decks, Namale's enchanting backdrop can only complement the gleaming bride & groom. Waves from the Koro Sea lapping on the reef, coconut trees swaying to the music of our Fijian choir, vibrant flowers sharing their sweet aroma, and sunsets like nowhere else all set the mood for your magical day. Choose from two different ceremonies and leave the rest to us.
Traditional Wedding - $1400.00USD
Barefoot on the beach? A private deck overlooking the ocean? Walking through lush rainforest? The choice is yours. We'll decorate your locale with gorgeous flowers and palm leaves, and provide colorful Fijian wedding leis, or saluslaus and matching garland for her.
Then, imagine four warriors dressed in traditional costume accompanying you to the site. The lali drum announces your arrival and the choir welcomes you with a hymn. After the ceremony, conducted by a local minister, you'll toast with champagne. From there, the Namale Band will take over, setting the stage for the meke — the traditional Fijian dance ceremony, a romantic dinner for two or wedding party, and close with a flourish of ultimate love and joy!

Other Information:
Legality – All ceremonies are legally binding and recognized per USA requirements.
Documents – Passports; Original or Certified copies of Birth Certificate; letters of Parental Consent if under 21; Decrees of Dissolution by the Registrar General, local or State Government, if divorced, or copy of Death Certificate if Spouse has died. This is obtainable from their local Registrar or District Office.
The Registry office is open Monday - Friday from 9.00am – 3.00pm. Your marriage license must be obtained before the ceremony, so keep this in mind if arriving on a weekend. You will need to wait until the Monday morning to get your license. Guests need to register in the province they will marry in, so they cannot register in Nadi and get married in Savusavu. The District office can only marry people if the license was issued at the Savusavu office.
Ceremony Times and Location: You will meet with the Wedding Coordinator after you have checked into your Bure. She and her staff will show you different locations on the property and work with you on all aspects of your special day. Ceremonies are generally held at sunset, unless a different time is requested. Weddings can take place at the location of your choosing.
Officiating officer performing the ceremony: All ministers in Fiji belong to a certain church. There are no non-denominational ministers. While we will try to honor requests for a specific type of minister, who is available for the date requested will be the primary factor. Catholic Weddings are held at the nearest Catholic Church. There are no weddings on Sundays.
Holidays: Ceremonies cannot be held on a public holiday. Fiji has many, so please be sure to check your requested date with our Reservations Office.
Wedding certificate: The certificate only shows two names – that of the bride and groom before they get married. It shows Miss XX married Mr. ZZ. You choose what name you want afterward.
Choir: It is the Methodist church choir and they sing religious Fijian hymns. The Fijians are well known for their melodic voices and songs in harmony. Their very special songs will add a unique character and a “island atmosphere” to your wedding ceremony.
Meals for Visiting Guests not staying at Namale: While we do not normally allow outside people to use the resort facilities, people may come on the property as visitors of our guests with management approval. The Registration Desk needs to be informed of this and the drinks and meals will be charged accordingly.
Room Safe: Every Bure has a “strong box” and we also have a safe in the Front Office.
Dry Cleaners & Hair Salons: There are no dry cleaners or Hair Salons in Savusavu. Main island availability is limited.
Please note: Namale requires for any couple planning their wedding to choose a date at least 72 hours after arrival. All rates are quoted in US Dollars and are subject to 12.5% VAT (Government Value Added Tax) and the 5% Turnover Tax, unless noted. Rates valid through Mar 31, 2010.
