As the desire to travel continues to gain momentum among Malaysians, our neighbouring country Thailand is increasingly becoming a destination of much interest in the region, particularly as it once again moves to make entry requirements relatively accommodating to travelers from our part of the world. For soon-to-be-weds hoping to get hitched towards the later part of the year, it certainly is enticing to perhaps consider a destination wedding or honeymoon at one of the many destinations in Thailand where direct flights are possible from major airports in our country.

Some suggestions :

  • Do some research on destinations where we can get to fairly easily, for example, Phuket, Samui, Hua Hin and Krabi. 
  • Check out the various resorts that specialise in destination weddings and identify those that offer a sense of privacy for honeymooners.
  • Keep a lookout for promotional rates for these resorts. 
  • Determine which airlines have resumed or are planning to resume flights, for instance, AirAsia, Malaysia Airlines, Thai Airways and Bangkok Airlines.

Other considerations :

  • The capacity of the resorts and the number of guests you intend to invite.
  • Time of year to host your celebration vis-à-vis weather conditions.
  • Do you plan to fly in Malaysian vendors or would you rather appoint vendors at the destination. For the latter, be sure to do some research too on services offered.

Soon-to-be-weds! Now that weddings are back on track after the uncertainties of the past two years, it is safe to say that wedding venues are just as excited as you are when it comes to planning for your impending nuptials. With momentum picking up with regards to wedding plans, venues, both large and small, are taking great strides in ensuring that you are provided with the opportunity of hosting your celebrations at a location you have long aspired to do so in.

A couple of factors to contemplate :

  • How many people do you intend to invite?
  • The capacity of your preferred venue.
  • The budget you have allocated vis-the-vis the venue’s charges, be it space rental or cost of wedding packages.
  • The availability of the venue in relation to your chosen wedding date plus the amount of lead time available for planning purposes.
  • Are there venues offering special promotions that would pique your interest?

A few other suggestions to consider :

  • If you have already appointed a wedding planner, perhaps seek his or her views as well.
  • Do your families, in particular your parents, have a say in deciding which venue to go with?
  • If you are thinking of an outdoor wedding ceremony, look into the backup plan the venue has to offer should the weather not cooperate on the big day.

A few suggestions when planning for a destination wedding :

  • Arrange to stay at the resort perhaps over a weekend to really experience its setting and environment prior to making wedding plans.
  • Send out save-the-dates early to advise your intended guests of your impending nuptials. 
  • Once you have booked the venue, have your appointed wedding vendors do a site inspection too. 

Tip : Avani Sepang Goldcoast Resort is able to host nuptials for varying guest lists, from intimate celebrations to bigger fetes. Meet with their wedding specialist to learn more about their wedding services. More details here
