License – Bali is a religious city. You cannot make your wedding legal with just a civil ceremony, Hence, to get legally married in Bali, you are required to have both a religious and civil ceremony. To save time, couples are opting to consolidate the civil ceremony with the religious one. Your wedding planner will guide you effectively with your dates and the local laws.
Venues – Numerous venue options are starting from clifftops, villas to beach hotels to forest wedding venues. Depends on your budget and taste where you want to go.
