Tahiti Travel Connection

The drama and pageantry of a Tahitian wedding celebration is a highlight for any couple. Ceremonies can be as simple as a sunset ceremony with a Tahitian priest or as elaborate as a pageant with musicians and dancers.

For many ceremonies, couples are bedecked in bright pareu, flowers, and shells. The groom is brought to the beachside location to make a grand entrance in an outrigger canoe while the bride is carried on a rattan throne carried on the shoulders of the best men.

Music and dancers enhance the ceremony while a Tahitian priest performs the rites and gives the couple their new Tahitian names and another Tahitian name for their first born. This is not a church wedding, unless you consider the towering palms along the beach a natural cathedral, but it may bring new blessings to the marriage.
