The Special Wedding Package:
US$795

The Grand Wedding Experience:

The Pampered Experience:

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.
