Are you planning your destination wedding in Tahiti? Or maybe eloping in one of the many beautiful islands of Tahiti where you intend to have an unforgettable wedding ceremony (I know, the words unforgettable and Tahiti in one same sentence sounds a bit redundant, right?). Choosing among the best and most unique Tahiti wedding venues is a crucial decision. This can make or break your Tahiti elopement photos!
Are you at a loss when it comes to deciding where to actually have your wedding ceremony in Tahiti? I know the feel.

Most of my couples first reach out to me kind of indecisive about where to hold a wedding ceremony in Tahiti. I am based on the gorgeous and peaceful island of Moorea. This is where most of my couples tie the knot, before flying out to the outer islands on their honeymoon.
Tahiti resorts will often have pretty wedding locations on premises for you to exchange your vows. But what if you are not staying at a resort, or if you do but don’t want any on-lookers at your wedding ? Because let’s be honest here, Tahiti resorts will often lack the privacy you are seeking for such an important moment as your wedding or vow renewal ceremony.
Most often, especially if you’ll be travelling to Tahiti during the busier season (that is, from August to October) chances are that you won’t have much privacy when you go with a resort ceremony.
Looking at having an intimate wedding ceremony, where it’s just about you, and your guests?
I hear you! This is what I specialize in!
So let me lay out some of the most unique Tahiti wedding venues for you. I’ll start today with some off-the-beaten-track ceremony locations in Moorea.
Find Your Perfect Wedding Venue + Ceremony Location In Tahiti
It is SO easy to get lost in a number of logistics and travel details and to simply overlook what certainly is the most important part of the day: the ceremony. This is what you’re here for, right? It is important (cocktail hour is, too, but not quite as important) and should set the tone for the entire day!
Whether it is just the two of you sharing vows and making promises to each other, or you have guests in attendance, doing the right choice among available Tahiti wedding venues and ceremony locations is of the utmost importance. You should feel the place is yours.
1. Think Beyond Beaches
Tahiti is not just about beaches. The Islands of Tahiti are equally stunning whether you look at the immense lagoon or at the luxuriant mountains.

I love love love this photo because this is the very 1st couple ever we took up the Belvedere in Moorea for their wedding pictures, back in 2014… and pretty much every couple has been doing the same ever since!

And actually, it’s not just the mountains. Moorea is also equally stunning whether you look at the immense lagoon or at the soothing and breathtaking ocean.

2. Think Exotic
Tahiti. The Ultimate Privacy. Seriously, can you think of anything that can compete with saying your I do’s onboard a private catamaran sailing gorgeous lagoon waters? If you’re traveling with just a handful of guests then you can sail away for a few hours on the crystal-clear waters of Moorea. And take this opportunity to marry onboard, or anywhere in the lagoon where there are shallow waters.

Talking about being surrounded by crystal-clear waters, how about this Blue Lagoon ceremony in Rangiroa? Now that’s privacy.

3. Think Simple
Your ceremony must be true to you. If you are staying at a vacation rental property, why not having your ceremony in the intimacy of your “home away from home” but with a view?
