Immerse yourself in Fijian culture by incorporating traditional ceremonies, dances and music into your wedding celebration led by Fijian chiefs and local villagers. If a secluded beach wedding is your dream, then many of the resorts on Vanua Levu including Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort, offer stunning beachfront wedding venues where the sound of the ocean will provide the soundtrack to your special day.
