What is included in your Moorea elopement or wedding packages?

Moorea is a year-round destination with warm tropical weather. The most popular time to elope is during the drier season from May to October, when conditions are generally more comfortable. However, elopements are available throughout the year.

How far in advance should we book a Moorea wedding package?
