After the blowing of the conch shell, both bride and groom will be escorted to the melodies of Samoan singing where then each family chief will make a speech. A local string band will play throughout the ceremony, then it’s onto the reception with gifts exchanged between the families, a fiafia performance, dinner, a wedding cake and a bottle of sparkling wine.

But, if that all sounds a bit much, Coconuts also offers a range of low-key wedding packages, which all notably include a photographer and videographer.
