Destination weddings are skyrocketing in popularity as couples across the world are looking to tie the knot in exotic locations. Thailand, in particular, is a hotbed for beach weddings as it offers lovers a taste of island paradise. The long stretch of white sand, fringed with coconut groves and lapped by emerald waters create a scenic backdrop that inspires romance.

Beyond the aesthetic point of view, Koh Samui also offers plenty of packages that cater to different tastes of couples. Your chosen venue also influences the theme of your wedding, be it a traditional Thai celebration or a Western-style wedding.

What to Expect in A Private Villa Wedding

Resorts, hotels, and private villas in Koh Samui offer fantastical, beachfront views where couples can exchange vows against ruby red sunsets. Casa De Mar Samui, for instance, lets you get married on a secluded beach where limestone karsts and cerulean lagoons complete the romantic vibe.

With that in mind, it’s best to choose rental villas instead of standard rooms, as this means couples can plan their ceremony anywhere on the resort’s grounds. As for the packages, most typically come with a list of suggestions for caterers, decorators, DJs, photographers, and other vendors that are necessary for making the wedding of your dreams come true.

What Does a Wedding in Thailand Look Like?

Most couples prefer to tie the knot on the beach. After all, beachfront villas like Casa De Mar Samui offers the perfect set-up as the island’s spectacular natural decor gives couples an idyllic location to celebrate their love, away from busy resort towns.

For those who want to immerse themselves in a different culture, some wedding packages offer a Buddhist-style ceremony where you can say “I do” in a candle-lit area, along with the blessing from monks. Thrill-seekers can elevate the experience further by setting up a modern ceremony inside a limestone cave, making it a truly unique experience.

The Best Time to Tie the Knot in Koh Samui

Planning a destination wedding all depends on the season. There are rare cases where couples prefer to exchange vows under gray skies, but most pictures their beach ceremonies with blue skies, fiery sun, and hot weather.

With that in mind, the ideal time to visit Thailand is during its ‘high’ season, which falls between November to February. In addition to bright clouds and sun-soaked locations, couples have plenty of choices for their lovely excursions with guests. There are perks to tying the knot during the rainy season. For one, it’s an excellent time for couples who are in a budget as the months between May to October have lower prices as it isn’t a prime time for tourism in Thailand.
