Getting married in Tahiti
Every
bride in the world wants her honeymoon to be truly special. For
this very special occasion, you surely deserve something that is
far beyond ordinary, don’t you agree ?
So what are the reasons that makes Tahiti so unique, peaceful and
romantic that you will keep this experience secretly hidden in your
heart for the rest of your life ? You will understand all these
reasons as soon as you will get out of your plane at the international
airport of Tahiti where smiling and gracious Tahitian hostesses
will greet you with the traditional tiare flower….
The unspoiled, calm and peaceful setting of Tahiti and her islands
makes it the perfect destination for a romantic and unforgettable
honeymoon where after your first night together, breakfast is
brought to you by outrigger canoe and served right at your overwater
bungalow balcony.
For those of you willing to have their wedding ceremony organised
in French Polynesian rather than in their home country, we will
have to distinguish 2 cases : the civil ceremony and the traditional
wedding ceremonies.

Civil wedding ceremony (getting legally married
in French Polynesia).
This wedding is a legal ceremony that takes place at the
City Hall in front of the Mayor. It requires :

Traditional ceremonies
Different wedding ceremonies are available in some deluxe resorts
of Bora Bora but the most traditional one is organized by the Tiki
Theatre Village at Moorea. The Tiki Village is a genuine Tahitian
village where talented handicraftsmen work and live with their families
in pandanus-roof fare (Tahitian hut).
The Tiki Village website describes it as follow :
"As you arrive by outrigger canoe at Tiki Village, our
villagers line up on the beach to greet you and welcome you ashore
to the sound of the gentle ukulele. The bride-to-be is then lead
to the bamboo hut (or ‘fare’) where the women of the village prepare
her for the ceremony. Therethey will massage her body with traditional
‘monoi’ oil and will dress her for the occasion as a TahitianPrincess.
