Bali Destination Wedding Special Part 2



Destination Wedding Bali


In Part one of my Bali Wedding Destination Special, I wrote about my wedding adventures on the tranquil island of Nusa Lembongan, where small to medium sized weddings can be held for a very attractive price. Having enjoyed five days relaxing and getting married at Nusa Villa, it was time to get to work and plunge headfirst into one of the worlds fastest growing, Destination Wedding wonderlands. Bali.

In the most simple of terms, a wedding in Bali can be incredibly cheap or it can be insanely expensive and pretty much anything in between.

Weddings are performed all over the island of Bali and each location has its own charm. While many brides dream of a cliff top wedding in Uluwatu, most may struggle with the cost of this location. Uluwatu is to my mind the most stunning wedding location in Bali, but I'm not sure that justifies an average sized wedding price tag at around $20,000 to $25,000. I guess it is down to the individual and if you are happy to pay for this premium location, you will certainly get a stunning backdrop.
Most clifftop weddings in Uluwatu are performed in the spectacular Villas that line the cliffs edge and caterers, entertainers and other wedding vendors can be hired to your taste and budget.

As with most Weddings Abroad though, I would always recommend using a reputable Wedding Planner, who knows the location and has tried, tested and most of all trusted people on the ground.  One such company is Wedding Destinations who while based in Australia, have an extremely large network of wedding vendors in Bali. From Photographers to Make Up Artists, even Baby-Sitters and Villa hire, it is worth touching base with these guys, if you are thinking about tying the knot in Bali.

Another great place to find Destination Wedding Planners in Bali is of course Wedsaway as I have mentioned in previous posts.

I checked out a number of Villas from Seminyak to Cunggu and Bali simply cannot be beaten for it's endless choice of Wedding Villas. There are literally thousands of them and prices vary based upon location and size.


Not to be overlooked however are the resorts in Bali and boy, are there some special Wedding Resorts and Venues to be found. 'The W' in Karobokan, near Seminyak springs to mind and it is pure class.


The 'W' is very modern and attracts the more stylish of travellers and Wedding groups The restaurant is quite simply second to none and the wedding locations on site are equally as impressive.



While the super venues of Seminyak blew me away, I have to say that the place that really made me sit back and think was the restaurant Majoly in South Kuta. Now like most people, when Kuta and Bali are mentioned, I kind of switch off and for Destination Weddings Kuta is not really what  I would call a hot spot. Far from it! However, just a few minutes down the road in South Kuta, I found a pretty cool Restaurant called Majoly, which to my amazement boasted a perfect sandy beach, ideal for a wedding, as well as guest rooms and reception area. This venue had it all and whats more, is a snip of the price of most Villa Wedding Venues.

I see hundreds of wedding venues around the world and while it is easy to report on the most spectacular, it is not always quite so easy to find ideal venues at a realistic cost. Majoly is one of them which is why for me, it was one of my favourite Destination Wedding Venues in Bali.

To summarise, Bali is a true Destination Wedding giant and regardless of where you come from, Bali should be top of your Wedding Destinations. Indonesia is serviced by lots of Airlines from most of the world Capital Cities.
