Your Special Event

David and Nicole : Our Wedding in Paradise

July 2017 David and I had our first date at Oliver Brown, I nervously ordered a coffee I never drink but we had mutual friends and I felt positive about it. We sat for 2 hours chatting about all things life. He was a true gentleman, dropping me off and picking me up and asked me on a second date before the night even ended. The rest is kind of history..

It only took 7 years, 1 bonus child, 2 babies together, our beautiful home and a few land cruisers later for him to decide the time was right to pop the question, and it was perfect!!

Now here we are planning our gorgeous destination wedding in Fiji that we’ve talked about since we met.
We were unsure whether we’d elope but Fiji has always been the dream.
A huge wedding isn’t for us but we’ve made the special decision to let our closest people in and we hope that you can join us for a simple celebration in paradise.

We acknowledge that the cost of travel and taking time off from work may be a challenge for some of our loved ones. While we wholeheartedly invite you to join us if it is possible, we completely understand if circumstances prevent you from doing that and we will celebrate together at a later date.

Location

Overlooking Viti Levu’s idyllic Coral Coast on one side and its own private beach and lagoon on the other, the resort offers an authentic and private Fiji island experience. Yet with road access across the water to the mainland, your warm Fijian greeting is an easy hour’s drive from the main airport.

Once you’ve checked in, you’ll be spoilt for choice at this beautiful resort. Whether you’re seeking an exclusive, adults-only experience, or one to keep the whole family occupied, you’ll find something for every moment and mood.

With 3 pools, the coral reef, and a private sandy beach on a deep lagoon that’s swimmable any time of day, there’s a place to dip your toes right across the island.

Shangri-La’s trump card is its abundance of dining options, all sourcing the fresh and quality produce in Fiji. With 5 new dining concepts and three bars, all on the waterfront, this is a resort experience that doesn’t rest on the laurels of its location. With each meal comes the promise of something exciting and different, or the chance to re-visit the family favourites.
