French Polynesia — Asia & Pacific
Bora Bora
The lagoon from above
There is blue, and then there is Bora Bora — a lagoon that moves through seven shades of it before lunch, ringed by a coral reef and crowned by the green spike of Mount Otemanu. It is the destination for couples who want their wedding to feel like the edge of the world, beautifully staffed.
Celebrations here are small and total: a resort taken over entirely, or a private motu where the wedding is the island's only event. Barefoot ceremonies on sand that squeaks, dinners with feet in warm water, and nights of Polynesian drumming under the southern stars.
Where we work here — Private motu islets · Overwater resort chapels · Beachfront estates · Lagoon platforms at anchor
Bora Bora asks only one thing of a wedding: that it be worthy of the water.
Signature Experiences
What a celebration here can hold
Vows Over the Water
A ceremony on an overwater platform at the lagoon's edge — a aisle of white hibiscus, the mountain behind, and rays passing beneath the glass floor like ushers.
The Motu Buyout
An entire private islet for the wedding day: guests arrive by outrigger, a village of flowers and torchlight is built for one night, and by morning the island is pristine again.
Dinner in the Lagoon
A table set on a sandbank at low tide — lanterns, grilled mahi-mahi, champagne in the ice-chest, and warm water lapping at the chair legs.
The Coral Garden Morning
The day after, a guided drift through the coral gardens — guests floating over gardens of blue and violet, followed by a barefoot breakfast on the beach.
Character & Light
The light here does the decorating
Equatorial light, vertical and crystalline, filtered through water so clear it doubles every colour. Sunset is brief and operatic — the sky and lagoon going gold together — and the night sky, far from any city, is a second ceiling of light.
Seasonal notes — May to October is the dry season: endless blue days, trade-wind cool evenings, water at 27 degrees. November to April is lush and dramatic — we plan around the squalls, and the rainbows are extraordinary.
Bungalows over the lagoon
The Shape of a Weekend
A celebration in three acts
The Torchlit Beach
A welcome dinner on the sand — poisson cru, ukuleles, and fire dancers silhouetted against the last of the light.
The Platform and the Reef
An overwater ceremony at golden hour; dinner on a private motu; Polynesian drums and dancing under the southern constellations.
The Lagoon Days
Days that belong to the water — coral gardens, outrigger sails, and a farewell picnic on a sandbank that vanishes with the tide.
