Tropical climate, unique culture, picturesque landscapes, warm ocean, endless beaches – all this creates an incredible romantic atmosphere. At first glance, it may seem that organizing a symbolic wedding in Thailand is not easy, but this is only at first glance. There are two possible options: contact a local travel agency in Russia or organize the solemn event yourself. The most interesting option for organizing a wedding ceremony in Thailand, which gives the maximum number of advantages, is to do this issue yourself without the participation of a travel agency. This will allow you to realize all your wishes and the wedding ceremony will ultimately 100% meet your expectations and the budget for the event will pleasantly surprise you. Below we give detailed instructions of 13 points on how to organize your ceremony in Thailand without intermediaries.- Choose a location (Phuket, Pattaya, Samui, Chang, Mak, Krabi) The choice of the region of Thailand depends primarily on your preferences for recreation. For lovers of nightlife and club life, the ideal place will be Pattaya And Phuket and the island Phangan, but only during fulmoonpaty. For a more leisurely beach holiday, the islands are suitable Samui, Chang, Mak, Krabi province and Hua Hin. Regardless of which region of Thailand you choose, you are guaranteed warm tropical sun and positive emotions.
- Choose wedding/event agency in Thailand
Unfortunately, during the tourist season in Thailand, a huge number of illegal organizations appear, which are organized by tourists who came to Thailand on a tourist visa. Contacting them threatens unexpected troubles, having received money from you, the organization may not fulfill all obligations or disappear without a trace, the Thai authorities in this case will not help you in any way. Therefore, when choosing a wedding or event agency, pay attention to the following points:
- The company must be officially registered with the Thai Department of Business of Thailand and must have a pre-assigned identification number. This can be verified on the official website of the Business Department of Thailand;
- The company must have documents giving the right to operate in the territory of the Kingdom of Thailand;
- Be sure to check it out reviews about the company. The best option is to go to the company's official page at social networks, usually couples leave reviews on the wall of the group itself. You can always contact the person who left the review on the wall. This way you will be guaranteed reliable information from first hand.
- Select ceremony option You can opt for European wedding ceremony or give preference to a wedding ceremony in a traditional Thai style. The company can organize for you a symbolic wedding ceremony on a yacht, villa, desert island, underwater wedding, etc. There are a huge number of options and everything depends on your wishes and the budget of the event. Decide on option for decorating the ceremony And wedding bouquet.
- Determine the date The best choice would be the middle of your vacation, in the wedding photos you will already be tanned!
- Select a photographer Most agencies offer wedding services as an additional service to the wedding ceremony in Thailand. professional wedding photo session, but you can always invite another photographer at your discretion. Be sure to check his portfolio and work permit in Thailand.
- Sign the contract When working with any photographer or wedding/event agency in Thailand, first sign a service agreement, which will specify all the details of the ceremony, cost, duties and responsibilities of the parties. Pay attention to the payment method and company details in the agreement. If the company is an official Thai company, and only such a company has the right to conduct wedding ceremonies in Thailand, then the company's details will indicate a bank account in a Thai bank and the agreement will always contain a clause on prepayment.
- Make an advance payment Couples always have a question related to prepayment: why is it necessary? Why can't we pay for the ceremony on site? Dear friends, no official company in Thailand will work without prepayment. Firstly, the ceremony requires a preparatory stage, employees order flowers for floral design, rent a place on the beach, make a reservation for a restaurant and book the services of a photographer for a certain date. Agree that nowhere in Russia does any wedding agency, restaurant, photographer work without an advance or full prepayment. If company representatives state that funds are deposited only after the ceremony - alas, these are illegals who, according to Thai law, do not have the right to work and are subject to criminal liability. Please be careful! I would like to draw your attention to the fact that for convenience, the company may offer the couple to transfer funds to a bank account not in a Thai but in a Russian bank, which will save the couple on the transfer, but this must be recorded in the contract.
- Before flying to Thailand, receive an organizational letter from the company. This letter is an analogue of a tourist voucher, but only for wedding services, it indicates the full name of the couple; the hotel where the couple will stay; contact details of the wedding coordinator; company contacts; preliminary booking
- Calling the wedding coordinator Upon arrival in Thailand, you must call the wedding coordinator at the phone number indicated in the letter. Together with the coordinator, you will choose the date and time of the preliminary meeting.
- Meeting with the wedding coordinator on the eve of the event At the meeting with the wedding coordinator, you will meet the company employee who will accompany you during the ceremony. He will answer all your questions and you will once again agree on all aspects of the wedding ceremony.
- Paying the remaining amount Upon arrival in Thailand, after meeting with the wedding coordinator, the remaining amount for the event is usually paid, unless otherwise provided in the contract.
- A solemn day
- Receiving video and processed photos
