Koh Samui, with its tropical beauty and world-class hospitality, is the ultimate destination for a beach wedding. Planning your dream wedding here may seem daunting, but with the right guidance, it can be a joyful and seamless experience. Here's our step-by-step guide to making your Samui beach wedding a reality.

Step 1: Choose the Perfect Venue

Your wedding venue sets the tone for your big day. Koh Samui boasts an array of stunning locations, from private villas to luxury resorts. Here are a few standout options:

  • Kya Beach House: This charming beachfront villa is ideal for intimate weddings, with its boho-chic decor and serene setting creating a relaxed yet stylish vibe.

  • Koh Koon: Perched on a hillside, this villa offers panoramic ocean views and spacious grounds, making it a versatile choice for both ceremonies and receptions.

  • Anantara Lawana Koh Samui Resort: Nestled on the shores of Chaweng Beach, this resort is ideal for a tropical yet sophisticated celebration, offering both beachfront and garden ceremony options.

Step 2: Work with a Local Wedding Planner

A local wedding planner is your key to a stress-free planning experience. From navigating Thai marriage laws to coordinating with vendors, having someone with local expertise ensures every detail is handled. At Weddings on Samui, we pride ourselves on crafting bespoke celebrations that reflect your unique love story. With our deep knowledge of the island and strong vendor relationships, we’ll make your vision come to life seamlessly.


Step 3: Set the Date and Send Save-the-Dates

Koh Samui’s weather is typically warm and sunny, but the best months for a beach wedding are from December to August, avoiding the rainy season. Once you’ve secured your venue, send out save-the-date cards to your guests. This gives them ample time to plan their trip to paradise.


Step 4: Curate the Perfect Wedding Package

Many resorts and planners on Samui offer wedding packages that include essentials like floral arrangements, a celebrant, photography, and catering. Personalise these packages to suit your taste:

  • Floral Design: Think tropical blooms like orchids and frangipani for a vibrant and exotic look.

  • Dining Options: From beachside BBQs to multi-course fine dining, Samui’s culinary scene has it all.

  • Photography and Videography: Capture every magical moment with the help of experienced local professionals who know how to frame Samui’s natural beauty.

Step 5: Plan Guest Experiences

Your wedding is also a chance to share the magic of Samui with your loved ones. Consider organising activities like a private boat tour to Ang Thong National Marine Park, a group spa day, or a pre-wedding dinner at one of Samui’s renowned beachside restaurants.


Step 6: Add Personal Touches

Make your wedding uniquely yours by incorporating personal details. Whether it’s a handwritten note for each guest, a signature cocktail inspired by your journey as a couple, or a traditional Thai water blessing ceremony, these little touches leave a lasting impression.
