Weddings The scent of frangipani wafts through the air, the ocean laps onto the beach and the sun is setting over the horizon. You have come to these beautiful islands to marry, and beside you is your soul mate and true love, saying the words ‘I do’. Nothing could be more romantic than a wedding in Samoa, and to make the occasion memorable you can choose the perfect setting for your day - an old church with a choir singing, a tropical garden with fragrant scents filling the air, by the fresh water pool at the base of a cascading waterfall or a secluded beach on an uninhabited island at sunset? Your only limitation is your imagination and all the services you require can be found here in Samoa – minister, venues, caterers, photographers and cars to make your day a memorable one. Or there are a number of hotels, resorts and tour operators who can organise everything for you. Marriages in Samoa are legally recognised worldwide and application forms for a marriage licence must be filed 14 days prior to the wedding day with the Justice Department in Apia. Honeymoons Your honeymoon is the start of your new life and nowhere could be more romantic than Samoa. There are any number of hotels and resorts to choose from. Treat yourselves to a honeymoon suite at a resort by the beach and lie on the deck and watch the day go by while sipping on a tropical cocktail. And if you prefer the night life, the take a suite at one of the hotels in Apia and pamper yourselves with a spa or massage. Take a sunset cruise on a boat and enjoy the refreshing sea air or simply lie on the beach and be waited upon by the friendly resort staff. For the more adventurous, hire a car and explore the islands and stay at a small beach fale.
