Your Special Event
Rachel & Billy :
It all began in 2015 during the summer,
When a carpenter met an OT student and thought wow what a stunner.
A night out at the flying cock club, was not to be missed,
When a d-floor hook up was their first kiss.
Rachel had Billy firmly in the friend zone,
But Billy never gave up chase, he wouldn’t leave her alone.
Finally Rachel caved and gave in,
But it wouldn’t be the last time she’d let Billy win.
From then on they were inseparable, content and settling in,
But this is where their big adventures were just to begin.
A mere year later their careers came calling,
Rachel became an OT and Billy’s childhood dreams were soaring.
It was an easy and simple decision,
They packed their bags and were on a mission.
Melbourne came first for two fast years,
then Sydney next for a switch of gears.
Rich with many new friends and memories
it was back to Brisbane with their families.
With their first two babies Alfie and Max,
They came back home, it was time to relax.
Now 7 years on this story is diverse,
these two have done a few things in reverse.
They purchased their home and welcomed their boy,
Little Hugo Kevin, their bundle of joy.
Now all that’s left is to tie the knot,
With their favourite people who they love a lot.
So pack your passports, party shirts and all,
Fiji’s calling, let’s get hitched and have a ball!

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:

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.

Comparing to online sites such as Expedia
If you are going to book through Expedia or another site please ensure you check the inclusions, conditions and payment terms carefully as they may be different. Please also note sites like Expedia offer “dynamic pricing” meaning the price can change as availability at the hotel and foreign exchange rates change. Rates that are “pay later” are usually charged in local currency on arrival and therefore subject to the exchange rate at the time of your stay plus any additional bank or credit card fees for foreign currency transactions.
Viva Destination Weddings are a full service travel agency and can arrange everything including, flights transfers, additional travel pre or post the wedding and travel insurance. In the unlikely event of issues that may occur (i.e. flight delays or cancellations etc) Viva take care of this for you. This can save you hours of time and unwanted stress. If you book direct or through online sites Viva unfortunately can’t assist you in this situation. Also booking through Viva will ensure they can communicate with the hotel you are a guest of our wedding which online sites can’t do.

Quote Conditions
Prices for airline tickets can change very quickly and therefore cannot be guaranteed until paid for in full. Often we are unable to hold seats reserved without payment, so this price is a guide only, reflecting the availability at the time of quoting. 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. For this we will need the dates of birth of all those travelling and if anyone has a pre-existing medical condition.
