Your Special Event

Jaime & Kris :

A boat trip to a beautiful island in the Mamanucas on New Years Eve, a rain induced drenching and some cackling boys and you’ve got the start of this romantic comedy.

With this kind of introduction how could they not fall in love?

Jaime and Kris made their love for one another grow stronger through long distance phone calls, monthly travel plans and surprise visits, and a commitment to always be there for each other even when it wasn’t physically possible.

7 years later and they are now planning weddings that celebrate both their pasts and their future together.

They can’t wait to celebrate their wedding days (yes, they know, two weddings is a bit extra) with you all in the place where it all began.

Denarau

Denarau is a man-made island reached by a causeway and just 25 minutes from the airport.

Most of the resorts in Denarau are close to the marina where the island transfers go from, so is most often used for people staying there before heading off to the islands.

​The resorts there are all international chains which can be more expensive, depending on specials. The cheaper option may be The Palms Denarau – an apartment complex opposite the marina. Please note this is not a resort with all the facilities.

At the marina there are many restaurants at the marina to give you a lot of choice for dining.
