Resort Wedding Packages In The Cook Islands
Whether you choose an old limestone church, a lush garden or an uninhabited sandy island as the venue for your ceremony, a tropical wedding or renewal of vows is the most romantic way to commit to the one you love.
Most of our selected resorts have wedding packages and we can arrange the necessary documentation and liaise with the relevant wedding coordinator prior to your arrival. We can also arrange private weddings away from the resorts.
Please Note: The following prices are valid to 31 March 2010. Prices shown are for the wedding ceremony only and do not include the cost of airfares, accommodation or resort transfers unless specifically mentioned as being included. Booking and eligibility conditions may apply.
Extras if not included, can be organised with any of these packages including photography, hair and make up, flowers, cakes, and reception venues.
The wedding packages featured here are:

Pacific Resort Rarotonga
Choose your own wedding location from the beautiful white sandy beach on Muri Lagoon, the lush tropical resort gardens or the isolated shores of Koromiri Island across the lagoon. Imagine a warrior in a traditional vaka (outrigger canoe) paddling you across to the shores of Motu Koromiri where your groom is waiting. As the vaka slowly makes its way across the blue waters of Muri lagoon with your warrior escort another warrior awaits the bride on the shore of Koromiri where he blows the parau (conch shell) to announce the bride's arrival.
At the wedding site a trail of petals lead to the wedding arch where your groom is waiting. A serenader strums his ukulele and sings a beautiful wedding song as you walk to your husband-to-be. Once you have exchanged your vows, a lovely maiden dances to papau ana taua (Cook Island wedding dance describing the love of the bride & groom for each other and the marriage ceremony). A beautiful memory to be treasured for all your days together.
