Why Koh Samui?

Yes, Koh Samui. This location is unique and has many beautiful beach settings and options when you are looking for specialists to handle a destination wedding. This is a huge convenience and a stress reliever for a couple who would remotely manage the arrangements. Discuss the flexibilities available to you such as hosting the wedding at the exact spot you have chosen considering the lighting, and background touches of nature in the images which will be captured.
Consideration must be made if the marriage is legally happening in Koh Samui for the time for paperwork to be completed. In Thailand the paperwork takes a couple of days at least, be aware of this and check with your local consular service on how to file it back home when you return to your home soil.

Selecting the site and the setting for the ceremony

With many scenic beach settings, and with numerous options of Koh Samui wedding resorts, considering that your special day will be for a very selected group of close relatives and friends, opt for a boutique resort that will give your special guests rental villas rather than individual rooms. This makes them feel special during the pre and post-wedding activities and socializing and ensures a feeling of privacy for the whole group.
The ceremony can be decided with careful deliberation. A beachfront setting during the early evening to celebrate your love with the limitless ocean as the background, or have a more intimate setting with the two of you exchanging vows flanked by the closest group of people with the twinkling of night lights illuminating the beach at dusk at a romantic resort such as Avani+ Samui Resort?
Whatever you decide can be executed to perfection with careful planning.

Wedding Packages

With many wedding packages available to make your special day run seamlessly, you only need to select the wedding specialist at your chosen resort and what is best for your special occasion and take into consideration the needs and wants of your special invitees.
Take time to discuss the details, even the minute ones, and discuss how personal touches can be added as needed such as perhaps a welcome pack for the special invitees in their rental villa. These can be discussed with the wedding specialist who can guide and help you by providing useful tips and hints.
It is also important to maintain a regular dialogue with the wedding specialist to ensure progress is steady and things are happening as planned.
The special touches for the big event such as the floral arrangements, table settings, food, cake single tier or multi tiers, champagne, colour theme, wedding favours etc. to be considered and well-coordinated.
Any pre-wedding oil massage or other spa treatment for the couple.

Post Nuptial Getting Together

Although this can be an optional item, as the hosting couple, it will be a memorable gesture to arrange for the entire wedding party to relax and enjoy time together by having a fun activity as a group.
This can be a trip together to explore an attraction such as Ang Thong Islands as a small group tour or a similar excursion to admire the scenery and carry good memories of this joyful time together.
