We all love a good wedding and where better than in Bali?

Friday, 12 November 2010


We all love a good wedding, the church, the flowers, the bride’s mother crying, the bridesmaids and all the pomp and ceremony, and of course the BIG party afterwards, but increasing Aussie couples are eschewing the traditional Aussie wedding and going overseas for their wedding, nowhere more so than to Bali, where Bali Weddings International is the market leader in superb Bali weddings.

Katrina Simorangkir, the Australia owner of Bali Wedding International and its sister company Bali Villa Weddings and Events told me during my recent visit to Bali that she established Bali Weddings International over 16 years ago with the specific objective of assisting foreign couples who choose to be married in Bali, offering service that could be relied upon to ensure perfect preparation and co-ordination of every aspect of their wedding arrangements.


She also said that Bali Weddings International is a member of the Association of Wedding Professionals International and has been for a number of years now, giving it global recognition and the most professional wedding company in Bali and while I was not able to attend a wedding Katrina took me to some awesome wedding locations including a stunning clifftop wedding chapel location and the Batu Karang Resort on Lembongan Island run by another Aussie and a superb wedding location, of course available through Bali Weddings International!

With Katrina offering awesome beach weddings, spectacular spa experiences and private villa weddings, with exclusive access to some Bali’s most fabulous and well-known private villas, I was surprised to hear from Katrina that it is now most nationalities of the world can now be legally and properly married on the beautiful island of Bali, with Bali Weddings International owned and operated by an Australian Citizen and married to an Indonesian, giving the business a truly Australian, international and Balinese flavour.


With the business having operated for over 16 years, it comes as no surprise that Katrina and her team have successfully arranged thousands of absolutely stunning wedding ceremonies and receptions, with the Bali Weddings International team having become globally recognised for fastidious attention to detail and the highest level of personal service and assistance to every single couple.

With western and local wedding and event consultants Bali Weddings International ensures that national, international and local idiosyncrasies, customs and requirement are more than satisfied to ensure that every wedding goes without a hitch, ensuring smooth communications and a perfect understanding of the bride’s and groom’s needs, with again that fastidious attention to the smallest details




Just imagine how easy and pain free it is getting Katrina and her team to arrange a wedding as they take care of every single detail, from the church and government authorities, photographers, florists, musicians, entertainers, caterers, transport, travel, hotels, transfers, and so much more for just two or for large groups – just awesome – allowing the whole wedding party to not only relax and enjoy the day, but also really enjoy their visit to Bali.
