Aggie Grey 's Lagoon Beach Resort & Spa
Romance, Weddings and a Honeymoon in the heart of Polynesia never seemed so easier. What with an idyllic paradise location as the Samoan Islands as your venue and the sophisticated team of wedding co-ordinators at the Aggie Grey's Lagoon, Beach, Resort & Spa planning your special day.
Whether you have decided to run away from it all and bring just yourselves or you are joined by family and friends, the Resort has a number of stunning locations from which you can choose: the century old chapel located next to the Resort, the Lagoon shore itself or a secluded sunrise or sunset wedding. The professional team of wedding coordinators has years of experience and they are solely dedicated to your dream day. When you marry at the Resort, you don't just marry each other and each other's family, you marry the entire staff of 200 plus who become your new extended family…it's the ancient Samoan way…the Aggie Grey's family way. On the sprawling 50 acres of the Resort they also encourage each newly wedded couple to plant a coconut of life or niu as known in Samoa. That way you are not just married to your new Samoan family at the Resort but you are married to each other in the earth of the Samoan way of life or Fa'a Samoa as we call it, with its age old customs and traditions. The coconut palm will seal your love for each other and the customs of love that will guide you both to a happy and blessed life together.

legal requirements
To be married in Samoa, you will require your birth certificate and passports. If either party has been previously married and has since separated/divorced, then you will need to present a Decree Absolute (Divorce) documentation. If you have been widowed then you will need to provide a Death Certificate of your spouse. Fax copies of these documents as well as a completed Intent to Marry form can be lodged with the Ministry of Justice prior to your arrival and it is essential that you bring the originals with you.
All Documentation should be in English and clear to read. You will also need to be in Samoa at least four working days before your intended date of marriage.
Weddings performed and registered in Samoa under the Department of Justice and Courts are internationally recognisable. A small fee is also payable to the Ministry of Justice in Apia.
Who Will Perform the Wedding Ceremony?
Samoa is an Island founded on God. Many if not most of the Christian denominations are well represented in Samoa. You can have a Religious Celebrant or a Non Religious Celebrant perform your special day. The choice is yours.
honeymooners
Stay a minimum of 5 nights and receive a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine and a fruit bowl on arrival.
