The best time for your Bali wedding

Most of the weddings in Bali are taken outdoors, therefore, the weather is very important. In the months of April and October, the weather is just perfect for an outdoor wedding. Also, remember that hotel rates and airfares tend to rise in June and August and venues become difficult to book. The earlier you book your venue, the better!

Selecting your venue

Bali is full of places that are famous for weddings! Be it a beach resort like Holiday Inn Resort Baruna Bali or a chapel or even private villas. Bali has it all! The choice of venues may sometimes be mind-boggling. However, knowing exactly what you are looking for and sticking to that theme will help you select the perfect wedding venue.

Consulting a wedding planner

Planning out a wedding is no easy task! It is sure to take up most of your time and energy and resulting in an utter waste of money too. Meeting up with a professional wedding planner who has the necessary contacts and resources to get things done, this can save you a whole lot of trouble.

Fixing a budget

Financing the whole wedding is the biggest struggle for couples these days. There are tons of cost to consider, some of them being travel costs, venue, number of guests and so on. You can either pay for these services directly or invest in an all-inclusive wedding package.

Top Locations to Tie the Knot Around the World

by CatalinaC Forbes Posted on

A wedding is an event that is fussed over by any couple. Selecting a venue, theme and everything else according to their budget, fretting about what to wear and so on, the worries are included in the entire package! Here’s a bit of information that may help when it comes to choosing your venue if you are planning to have your wedding overseas.

Ireland

This European beauty is the ideal location for those with the theme of a ‘Fairy-tale Wedding’. This land has masses of lush greenery, a mountainous landscape along with seaside villages and glorious castles and country manors. The place is full of awesome spots to walk down the aisle. The best time for your wedding in Ireland would be from May to September when the weather is just fine. Also, keep in mind that accommodation prices usually rise from October to March.

The Bahamas

A collection of 700 paradise islands for you to choose from is a pretty wide choice of locations. Nassau and Paradise Island are two of the most popular destinations. However, Exumas and Harbour Island are more mellow and quiet. The best part is that you could either choose to rent a whole island for your wedding or even treat your guests at big resorts and spas. It is advisable that you avoid having your wedding here from June through November because of storms and rainy weather.

Las Vegas

Despite being nicknamed ‘Sin City’, LA offers a whole lot when it comes to tying the knot here. It is one of the most unique wedding venues with its drive-through chapels and Elvis impersonators. Also, there are hotels and resorts in plenty that offer wedding packages for any budget. Guests are sure to be entertained even if they don’t bet! It is best to opt for spring or September and October when the summer heat is beginning to ease off. The first week in December may sometimes have good prices and availability.

Kuala Lumpur

Another famous location for weddings is Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. The city setting is quite intriguing if you are looking for an urban-themed wedding. Wedding in opulence with many luxury hotels like Berjaya Hotels and Resorts that offer various wedding packages makes things easy. The best months to avoid monsoons would be May to July when the weather just nice.
