HONEYMOON PACKAGE INCLUDES:

 



There are a number of different spots on the island where a couple can choose to tie the knot, but it would be hard to go past a long white sandy beach on the shores of Aroa Lagoon, on Rarotonga's sunshine southwest coast. In native Cook Islands Maori the name means the 'Lagoon of Love', and it's easy to see why. Swaying palm trees, turquoise sea lapping the pale sandy shore, the setting sun turning the whole scene golden as another day at the edge of time draws to a close. Pretty much your everyday stereotype of the idyllic South Seas.

All couples marrying at The Rarotongan Beach Resort & Spa plant a baby coconut palm, or uto, to seal their vows. Often they give it a special name to remember it by, and many also write to the Resort to ask how their 'baby' is doing.

Wedding package includes : wedding planner, crown/neck ei, minister, witness, CD music, license, transfers, planting of 'Uto', island gift.

wedding island charm package includes: same as above plus floral archway, string band, bouquet, cake, wine, platter, uto, flame torch

wedding made in heaven package includes: same plus full body massage, warrior entrance, drummers/dancers, photographer and 80 photos, and a romantic candlit dinner
