How to Choose a Wedding Venue in Bali for Your Big Day

Planning a destination wedding? Choosing a Bali wedding venue is easier when you weigh your budget, the location and guest comfort. Start with these tips.

Wedding venue set up for a celebration

Congratulations! You are finally planning to marry on the island of Bali, whose beauty is beyond doubt. A destination wedding away from your hometown will be a challenge, but the experience you and your partner gain will be out of the ordinary and unforgettable. The atmosphere is more sacred and meaningful, shared with the family and friends who are the most precious people in your lives. That is what a wedding at a Bali wedding venue can offer.

A hotel or resort is the top option when you don't want the headache of arranging the venue, the food, and the accommodation for yourself and all your guests. A Bali wedding venue, on the other hand, can be the better choice for the freedom it gives you and your guests to celebrate.

But how do you choose the right venue for a meaningful celebration and an unforgettable experience? Here are some suggestions to consider when choosing a wedding location on the island of Bali.

  • Budget

Budget is naturally the most important matter when choosing a Bali wedding venue. How much you allocate for the celebration and for accommodation for all your guests depends largely on how many guests you plan to invite. The more guests who come, the bigger the venue you need, the more food and drink you must prepare, the more accommodation rooms you must provide, and the bigger the budget you must plan for. Choosing a royal-style wedding in Bali means you are ready to share your happiness with the exclusive, special guests you want.

  • Location

Bali offers a wide range of wedding venues for your celebration. If the toll road over the sea could be used as a wedding venue, surely someone would get married there. Unique. Interesting. And unconventional. But location is the main thing to think about. Will it be in busy southern Bali, in quiet Ubud, at resorts with beautiful chapels, in private villas, on the beach, or on a green hill? Wherever your heart is moored, that is where you will choose to say your vows. Indonesian and Asian couples usually choose views with the blue sea as a backdrop, and often pick beachfront or cliffside resorts or villas. But the choice is yours and your partner's.

  • Comfort

Almost all weddings in Bali are held outdoors, so guests' comfort outside needs attention. Good access for guests will make your celebration memorable. You will want to ask whether the outdoor venue is near an air-conditioned space for elderly guests, whether the venue is easy to reach for guests staying at different accommodations, what about all the women in high heels, whether buggies are on standby, and whether your room is far from the reception in case something is left behind. Comfort is the one thing you must not forget.
