Over The Water
Wedding:
US$3995
This special wedding experience is
only available at Coconuts Beach Club, because in all of Samoa, only Coconuts has Over The Water Fales! Indulge yourself entirely with
this fantastic package that includes a five night stay in one of our
exclusive Over The Water Fales, with panoramic views of the
turquoise lagoon and a window in your sitting room floor to view the
sea life beneath you. On your special day, we will set up a floral
archway on the beach where you will be joined by your choice of the
Reverend from our village church or a celebrant from the government.
After your ceremony, while the photographer (includes album with 64
photos including 4 enlargements, DVD and negatives) creates some
memorable shots with you on the beach nearby, we will transform the
deck of your Over The Water Fale into your own private, and very
romantic dinner setting. Enjoy one of Mika’s renowned creations and
a bottle of champagne while being serenaded by the Coconuts
traditional Samoan string band. Package includes five nights
accommodation, with additional nights available.

The Samoan
Experience:
US$2495
Immerse yourself in the fa’asamoa,
the true Samoan culture, in one of the most unique ways to celebrate
your once-in-a-lifetime day. You will each be ‘adopted’ by two
separate Samoan families, and treated as if you are one of their own
relatives. The bride will be fully dressed in a traditional
style. The groom will have his own lavalava sewn for
him, accompanied by a shell ula (lei). The traditional
Samoan wedding begins with the blowing of conch shells, and a
procession by the groom and his family to the site of the wedding,
singing Samoan songs. A dramatic entry by the bride and her family
is accompanied by the singing of traditional songs. After brief
speeches by the Tulafale, or talking chiefs representing each
family, the Coconuts String Band plays softly in the background
while the village Reverend performs the ceremony. After the
ceremony, a Samoan-style reception follows, with the presentation of
traditional gifts between the families for the bride and groom, a
fiafia (performance of Samoan song and dance), dinner, a cake
and a bottle of champagne. This is an absolutely unique,
once-in-a-lifetime experience, plunging you into the heart of the
true Polynesian culture of
Samoa. To record this exceptional
event, the Samoan Experience includes a photographer (wedding album
with 64 photos including 4 enlargements, DVD and negatives) and a
videographer (professionally filmed and edited video tape with
musical accompaniment of entire ceremony).

Special Notes:
-
Civil
Ceremony:
Wedding applications must be submitted to the government
at least 14 days prior to the wedding ceremony. If either party
has been previously married, divorce papers must be submitted with
the wedding application. The actual wedding ceremony may be
performed either by a celebrant or the local Methodist Reverend,
and must be scheduled at least 21 days in advance of the proposed
date for the ceremony. Please note that there are restricted
days, when weddings are not permitted in
Samoa. All coordination, application fees and fees for the
celebrant or Reverend are included in the wedding packages.
-
Religious
Ceremony:
If you prefer, it is possible to be married in a church
in Samoa.
The church in our village is Methodist, and weddings can easily be
arranged there. The approximate additional cost of a religious
ceremony in our Methodist church is US$200. Although there is a Catholic Church in the nearby
village
of Mulivai, it is important to note that Catholic Weddings are not
permitted if either person has been previously married.
Arrangements for a Catholic Wedding may require special permission
from the Cardinal’s office in Apia.
