The Special Wedding Package: US$450
This special package includes the following:
CIVIL CEREMONY:  Wedding applications must be submitted to the government at least 14 days prior to the wedding.  If either party has been previously married, divorce papers must be submitted with the wedding application.  The application must include photographs and a photocopy of passports.  The actual wedding ceremony may be performed either by a celebrant or the local Methodist Reverend, and must be scheduled at least 14 days in advance of the proposed date for the ceremony.  Please note that there are restricted days, when weddings are not permitted in Samoa.  All coordination, application fees and fees for the celebrant or Reverend are included.
DECORATED VENUE:  The wedding will be held at a location of your choice on or near the beach at COCONUTS, under a floral arch.  The traditional Samoan palm-frond and flower decorations will complement this beautiful natural setting.
FLOWERS:  A bouquet of exotic island flowers and a pale (head wreath) will be provided for the bride and a Samoan ula (lei) for the groom.
WITNESSES:  If you do not have family or special friends traveling with you, the “COCONUTS family” would love to attend the wedding ceremony!  Since Mika & Julia (Coconuts restaurateur and his wife) were the first couple ever to be married at COCONUTS, the COCONUTS mangement team naturally form an enthusiastic group of well-wishers...... who love to participate in romantic occasions!
HONEYMOON PACKAGE:  All COCONUTS wedding couples automatically receive our Honeymoon Package in the days following their wedding.

The Samoan Experience:   US$1950
Immerse yourself in the fa’asamoa, the true Samoan culture, in one of the most unique ways to celebrate this once-in-a-lifetime day.  You will each be adopted into a separate Samoan family for the day – in our own village of Maninoa – and treated as would one of their own relatives.  The bride will be dressed in a traditional ie toga, a dress made from a handwoven fine mat (yours to keep), and adorned with a flower pale (head wreath).  The groom will have his own lavalava sewn for him, accompanied by a shell ula (lei).  The traditional Samoan wedding begins with the blowing of conch shells, and a procession by the bride and her family to the site of the wedding, singing Samoan songs.  After brief speeches by the Tulafale, or talking chiefs representing each family, the Coconuts String Band plays softly in the background while the village Reverend performs the vows.  After the ceremony, a Samoan-style reception follows in the village, with the exchange of traditional gifts between the families, a fiafia (performance of Samoan song and dance), dinner, a cake and a bottle of champagne for you and your new spouse. This is an absolutely unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience, plunging you into the heart of the true Polynesian culture of Samoa. To record this exceptional event, the Samoan Experience includes a photographer (album with 64 photos including 4 enlargements, DVD and negatives) and a videographer (professionally filmed and edited video tape with musical accompaniment of entire ceremony). 

Over The Water Wedding:   US$2650
This special wedding experience is only available at Coconuts Beach Club because in all of Samoa, only Coconuts has Over The Water Fales!  Indulge yourself entirely with a five night stay in one of our exclusive Over The Water Fales, with panoramic views of the turquoise lagoon and a window in your sitting room floor to view the sea life beneath you.  On your special day, we will set up a floral archway on the large deck of your fale, where you will be joined by your choice of the Reverend from our village church or a government celebrant.  After your ceremony, while the photographer (includes album with 64 photos including 4 enlargements, DVD and negatives) creates some memorable shots with you on the beach nearby, we will transform the deck of your Over The Water Fale into your own private, and very romantic, dinner setting.  Enjoy one of Mika’s renowned creations and a bottle of champagne while being serenaded by the Coconuts traditional Samoan string band. 
Package includes five nights accommodation, additional nights available.

Special Notes:
•   Religious Ceremony:  If you prefer, it is possible to be married in a church in Samoa.  The church in our village is Methodist, and weddings can easily be arranged there. The approximate additional cost of a religious ceremony in our Methodist church is US$100.  Although there is a Catholic Church in the nearby village of Mulivai, it is important to note that Catholic Weddings are not permitted if either person has been previously married.  Arrangements for a Catholic Wedding may require special permission from the Cardinal’s office in Apia.
•   Minimum stay: There is a 5 night minimum stay required for Wedding Packages.
