Here\u2019s what you need to know about when to plan a wedding in Fiji<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best time of year for a wedding in Fiji with blue skies and nice temps?<\/h4>\n

Fiji is known for its tropical climate and beautifully warm temperatures. And with that, of course, there can be humid, tropical air year-round.<\/p>\n

Peak tourism season hits between the summer months of July and September, which goes hand-in-hand with the island\u2019s dry season. This time of year is often sunny and dry but with less heat and humidity \u2014 perfect for those who enjoy the sun, but not the heat. This season is ideal for outdoor weddings, as your day is less likely to be interrupted by rainy or unpredictable weather.<\/p>\n

That said, peak season is the most expensive time of year on the islands of Fiji. So, if you\u2019re planning a wedding between July to September \u2014 or in January, during the Australian school holidays \u2014 you may have less negotiating power on your own. An all-inclusive destination wedding package can be useful in this case, with all the negotiations done on your behalf.<\/p>\n

The shoulder seasons are a great alternative, as you\u2019ll see similar weather with patches of rain here and there as the seasons change.<\/p>\n\n

What are the busy seasons in Fiji?<\/h4>\n

Peak or high season in Fiji hits from June to September, and again in December and January while many Australians are on their summer vacation. December and January can be both wet and touristy.<\/p>\n

November to April is Fiji\u2019s wettest season, with low season being November and February through April.<\/p>\n

Shoulder seasons are the periods between the high and low seasons, which are generally a more affordable time of year for travel, as tourism has softened and the good weather of high season is still in sight.<\/p>\n

Fiji\u2019s shoulder seasons are May and October. During shoulder season in Fiji, you\u2019ll still be able to enjoy Fiji\u2019s beautiful beaches, but rain is slightly more of a risk than it is during peak season.<\/p>\n

The beauty of the shoulder season is that you\u2019re more likely to get a competitive price on your destination wedding in Fiji while, at the same time, avoiding cyclone season and too-hot weather.<\/p>\n

The Australian summer school holidays, which take up most of January, often bring an influx of tourists to the islands and tend to be a less optimal time for a wedding \u2014 unless, of course, you\u2019re an educator.<\/p>\n\n

When is cyclone season in Fiji?<\/h4>\n

It\u2019s important to plan around cyclone season, as the last thing you\u2019d want is for a cyclone to disrupt your destination wedding weekend. In Fiji, cyclone season runs from January through to March and coincides with the islands\u2019 wet season.<\/p>\n

Typically, cyclones only occur every few years in Fiji, but if you\u2019re planning an outdoor wedding in this season and don\u2019t want to get rained out, it\u2019s important to have a plan B you\u2019re also excited about.<\/p>\n\n

When can you get the best deals on a Fiji wedding?<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re looking to benefit from great weather at a lower cost, the shoulder seasons are your best bet in Fiji. You\u2019ll find cheaper flight packages, as well as more inviting resort rates too.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to make further savings, consider hosting more than one wedding event at your resort or venue. You could host a low-key welcoming party and, after your wedding, host a day-after brunch to celebrate everybody being together. Hosting multiple events in one place often gives you more pull when negotiating rates with your venue. Ditto for booking more hotel rooms.<\/p>\n\n

So, is a Fiji destination wedding in the cards for you? Sounds pretty great!<\/h4>\n
