Getting Married in Bora Bora

✈️ 12 hours (via Los Angeles) from NYC🗓 Best: May–October (dry season)🌍 French Polynesia

Bora Bora is a breathtaking destination-wedding location. Bora Bora is the quintessential South Pacific fantasy made real — a volcanic peak surrounded by the world's most spectacular coral lagoon, ringed by overwater bungalows and accessed only by small boat. It is the most beautiful island most people will ever visit.

Legal weddings in French Polynesia require significant advance paperwork. Symbolic ceremonies in Bora Bora are spectacular and some of the most photographed in the world.

The Wedding Unicorn coordinates Bora Bora destination weddings end-to-end — venue sourcing and negotiation, vendor coordination (photographers, florists, caterers, musicians), legal marriage documentation, guest travel block negotiation, multi-day event itineraries (welcome dinner, rehearsal, ceremony, day-after brunch), and complete day-of management.

We know what Bora Bora requires for legal or symbolic ceremonies, and we have the vendor relationships to deliver quality that matches the extraordinary setting. Bora Bora's lagoon is possibly the most beautiful body of water on earth — every shade of blue and green stacked from the coral shallows to the deep ocean.
