	Travel News Guest Comments Testimonials Getting to Taveuni Contact Us	Maravu Plantation Resort is one of the best places in the Maravu Plantation Resort is one of the best places in the Fiji Islands for a wedding or honeymoon. Although only a few miles from the local airport, the first thing guests will notice is the complete sense of seclusion. The resort is accessible only by a dirt road, and there are only 20 Bures (Bungalows) on the plantation, so a feeling of peace and privacy pervades. The second thing visitors will notice is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, remarkable even by island standards. Expect plenty of personal attention, and don't be bashful about requests like laundry and ironing - the staff will bend over backwards to accommodate your needs. Maravu attracts all types of travellers, but specialises in honeymoon and wedding packages. The lush setting makes an excellent backdrop for a ceremony, and the secluded resort is the perfect romantic place for a honeymoon. You'll need to notify the resort in advance, naturally, if you wish to have a wedding ceremony performed during your stay. Maravu Plantation Resort is the ideal location for a wedding. The ceremony can be held on the beach, in the gardens, by the pool, on a deserted island beach or at the sunset viewing area with panoramic views of the ocean and outer islands. Maravu caters for a traditional Fijian wedding with full Fijian costume and Fijian Magiti (feast) or a traditional European wedding with a simple or full mass. And if you like your ceremony takes place in the jungle beside a tropical waterfall or in an exotic village. Maravu offers some of the most exotic wedding packages in the South Pacific. From a more simple 'Beach Package' over a 'Jungle Package' to a 'Deluxe Package', with all included what you dream about being a 'tropical and exotic wedding'. The non-plus-ultra is Maravu's 'Grand Fijian Deluxe Package', probably the most luxurious, but for sure the most exotic wedding package you can imagine. See yourself being brought on a bamboo raft across the deep blue ocean with purple corals and on a throne under palm trees and ferns to the place of your ceremony ... in the gardens of Maravu or beside a tropical waterfall. Click here for Maravu's Wedding Packages and Wedding Specials to help celebrate this perfect union and create an unforgettable event. The ceremony may happen like this: You pick your favourite spot…on the hilltop sunset gardens, the beach or somewhere else in Maravu or in the jungle next to a romantic waterfall or even on a remote and deserted island beach. We will set up the place of your choice with flowers, tapa decorations, seats and more. You will be very involved helping us planning because we like to make sure that it's the right flowers, the right colours, the right cake...The warriors and the best woman (that you may pick from one of the staff) will walk you to the scene where your beloved with his best man awaits you. Or you will be brought on the sea raft and the throne… The minister will read out the lines that you repeat and then you exchange rings. There is a choir of Fijians who will serenade your wedding ceremony. If you like to read out something to your beloved, that is a great idea and you will have time to do that. After the ceremony is over, you may want to share a glass of champagne and we will take your pictures if you like. We can use your video and film the scene if you like. The professional photographer that we use is recommendable because he will capture everything in a beautiful way and never looks "stiff" but very natural. And you get pictures from the whole wedding. The Bandboys will perform a traditional Kava-Ceremony and serenade. Then it's time to cut the wedding cake. You can do this in the restaurant or wherever you have your wedding ceremony. We have a baby Coconut tree that is for you and you may want to plant that and put your names on a sign down so that this tree may grow with your love. At night, there will be a Meke Dance Performance for you with traditional Fijian Dances and a Lovo-Dinner-Buffet with the traditional specialities cooked in the underground oven with many other dishes. Or you choice your very own menu which will be created by our executive chef. This is just the frame that we offer but you are free to change it into anything you like best. We require a minimum 4-night stay for the wedding party. The wedding may not be held on a Sunday or public holiday. Time to visit the Registry Office on Taveuni must be allowed. The office is closed on public holidays and weekends (Saturday & Sunday). We will do our best to accommodate any special request. For use of traditional Fijian costumes of hand-decorated tapa cloth (handmade from pounded Mulberry bark) there is an additional charge of USD 350 for the purchase.
