Your Special Event

Jessica & Ryan :

Ryan and Jessica met in April of 2019 at a restaurant in Poulsbo, Wa.  They were introduced by a mutual friend and that night  exchanged phone numbers, they both wanted to see each other again. By July Ryan asked Jessica out, officially.  Snowboarding, camping, hiking and skydiving together, their bond and love for each other grew with each day and adventure.  They knew they had found the right person in one another and so in May 2021 Ryan moved in with Jess and her daughter Keely, a happy family.  Then, in April of 2022 on a sunsetting beach in Hawaii, Ryan got down on one knee, officially asking for her hand in marriage.  

 

A note from the bride and groom:

 We would love for each and every one of you to join us on our special day, however, we know that a destination wedding is not feasible for everyone.  We plan to have a party at a later time in Washington to celebrate with everyone who is unable to attend the wedding. This wedding is a no-gift event! Celebrating with you in Fiji, or at a later time locally, is all we ask.  Love you all and hope to see you there!

Plantation Island Resort Fiji is nestled on the 553-acre Malolo LaiLai Island, part of the Mamanuca Group of islands, and is only 16km offshore west of Nadi International Airport.

Plantation Island Resort Fiji embraces its lush 23 acres of tropical landscaped gardens and coconut palms, and kilometres of white, sandy beaches, some of which fronts a gorgeous, sheltered lagoon… exactly the type of setting dreamy Fiji holidays are made of!

From the very first moment you arrive you will experience the warmth and friendliness from the staff who will make your stay one of the most memorable ever.

Make your destination wedding travel a breeze with Viva Destination Weddings!

While booking online can be convenient, it often comes with hidden complexities. Viva Destination Weddings offers several advantages to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for your destination wedding travel:

Transparent pricing

Unlike some online sites, we won’t surprise you with hidden fees or unexpected exchange rate fluctuations. We negotiate & lock in package pricing upfront, so the price you see is the price you pay. We take on the risk of changes to exchange rates which online sites often pass onto you.

Stress-free Booking

We handle everything from flights and transfers to pre or post wedding adventures, saving you time and effort.

Expert Guidance

Our travel specialists have extensive knowledge about the wedding venue and destination, ensuring a seamless travel experience.

Peace of Mind

If unexpected travel issues arise, we will be there to assist you, resolving any problems and minimising stress.

Simplified Communication

We communicate directly with the wedding venue on your behalf, ensuring you receive all the necessary information.

Due to fluctuations in currency exchange and availability, all costs are subject to change without notice.

We are not holding any reservations for you at this stage

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that all passengers travelling are covered by Comprehensive Travel Insurance. Please advise if you would like Travel Insurance and we will quote a policy specific to the region you are travelling to.
