Crowne Plaza Fiji Nadi Bay publishes four wedding packages — Intimate (two guests), Love in Paradise (up to 10), Dream Fiji (up to 30) and a "We Still Do" vow renewal — but it does not publish prices for any of them. Here is what each one contains, what it leaves out, and the line items that land on the final invoice.
What are the four packages, and what is in them?
The resort's own wedding packages page lists the following inclusions. Prices are not stated on the page; all four route to an enquiry.
| Package | Guests | Accommodation included | Headline inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intimate Fiji Wedding | 2 | Three nights, Pool View Room | Beachfront ceremony, dedicated wedding planner, marriage licence and certificate, three-course wedding feast on the beachfront lawn |
| Love in Paradise | Up to 10 | As above | Everything in Intimate, plus a two-hour beverage package, one-tier cake, table centrepieces |
| Dream Fiji Wedding | Up to 30 | Four nights, Ocean View Room | Traditional Fijian warrior escort to the ceremony, choice of Fijian lovo feast or international buffet, two-tier cake, DJ or acoustic duo for four hours |
| "We Still Do" Vow Renewal | Not stated | Not stated | Beachfront ceremony, vow renewal certificate, honeymoon room set-up, celebration dinner for two with champagne |
The step up from Love in Paradise to Dream Fiji is the one worth understanding. It adds a night, moves the room category, and — more significantly — adds the two things that turn a ceremony into a reception: a catered feast with a real choice of format, and four hours of music. If you have more than about a dozen guests, the smaller packages will need those added back as extras anyway.
What do the packages not include?
This is where destination wedding budgets go wrong, so take it item by item.
- Photography and videography. Not in any package. Arranged through the resort's suppliers or approved external vendors, at cost. See what a Fiji wedding photographer costs and can you bring your own photographer to a Fiji resort wedding.
- Live music beyond the Dream Fiji package. Same arrangement.
- Hair and makeup trials. Available at additional cost; the amount is not published.
- Flowers beyond the stated centrepieces.
- Guest accommodation. Only the couple's room is in the package.
- Transfers. Not stated in any package.
Nadi suppliers who cover the gaps include Ocean Studio Fiji and Leezett Photography for photography, Genesis Flowers for florals, and DJ Works Fiji for music. Confirm with the resort which are on its approved list before you contract.
What appears on the final invoice that wasn't in the brochure?
Four charges, all of them published by the resort or by the Fiji Revenue and Customs Service.
| Charge | Rate | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| VAT | 15% | Most goods and services |
| Environment and Climate Adaptation Levy (ECAL) | 5% | Prescribed goods and services above the turnover threshold |
| Tourism Services Tax | 5% | Accommodation and on-property food, beverage, spa and other services, for bookings made 1 September 2026 – 31 August 2027 |
| Card surcharge | 3% | Credit and foreign debit card transactions |
The Tourism Services Tax is new — FRCS confirmed a 1 September 2026 commencement for businesses above a prescribed FJ$2 million turnover threshold — and Crowne Plaza states it explicitly in its own terms. If you are working from a quote prepared before mid-2026, it will not be in there.
The resort also notes minimum spend requirements on exclusive or semi-exclusive restaurant reservations, and minimum guest numbers for buffets. Neither figure is published. Ask for both in writing before you commit to a reception venue, because they are the two conditions most likely to push a 25-guest wedding into a higher bracket than planned.
Where on the property can you actually get married?
The resort sits on Wailoaloa Beach in Nadi. Ceremony options it names:
- Beachfront, with the aisle facing open ocean — the default for all four packages
- Tropical gardens and lawns
- Selected indoor spaces as the wet-weather contingency
Reception options are broader: the resort's restaurants, the beachfront lawns, the Crown Convention Centre, and the ballrooms including the Baravi Ballroom for larger celebrations.
The capacity figures, and a conflict worth knowing about
| Space | Stated size | Theatre | Banquet | Stated capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Convention Centre | 493 m², pillarless | Up to 900 | Up to 600 | 900 |
| Baravi Ballroom | 493 m² | Up to 525 | Up to 440 | 525 |
| Baravi 1 | 332 m² | — | — | 370 |
| Baravi 2 | — | — | — | 165 |
| Volivoli Boardrooms 1 and 2 | 59 m² each | — | — | 24 each |
Note the conflict: the resort's own venues page gives 493 m² for both the Convention Centre and the Baravi Ballroom while assigning them very different capacities (900 against 525). Those two statements cannot both describe the same room correctly. It may be a data error, or the two may be distinct spaces with coincidentally matching floor areas. Get the room you are being sold named, measured and confirmed in writing. For context on how these spaces work as conference rooms, see our Crowne Plaza conference facilities guide.
What about exclusivity and the weather?
One wedding per day. The resort states this plainly, and it is the single most useful thing on its wedding page. It removes the risk — real at some Fiji resorts — of a second ceremony setting up on the next stretch of beach while yours is running.
Wet weather is covered by moving indoors to selected spaces. The resort does not publish which spaces, or whether there is a cut-off time for the call. Both belong in your contract. Our guide to Fiji wedding venues with wet-weather backup explains what a good contingency clause looks like.
Transfers from Nadi International Airport are not published by the resort. Wailoaloa Beach is close to the airport by Fiji standards, but ask for a stated time rather than accepting "a few minutes" — every transfer option and time from Nadi Airport has the comparison.
Verdict: who is this resort right for?
Choose Crowne Plaza Fiji Nadi Bay if you want a beachfront ceremony close to the airport, a guest list in the 10–30 range, and the reassurance of one wedding per day. The package ladder is well-judged at those sizes, and the ballroom inventory means a group that grows will not outrun the venue.
Look elsewhere if you want published pricing before you enquire — this resort gives none — or if your guest list is under six and you would rather not be on a property with convention-scale function space. For the alternatives, start at Fiji wedding resorts and the Fiji wedding cost by guest count comparison, or browse the Nadi city hub.
Next step
Send one enquiry asking for: the FJD price of your package, the minimum spend on your preferred reception venue, the buffet minimum numbers, the named wet-weather space, and confirmation that TST, ECAL, VAT and the card surcharge are shown separately. That is the whole negotiation.
