We will be on the island a few days early to prepare for the wedding. If you happen to be in town for Christmas Day, please celebrate Christmas Day with us at Tree Tops Signature Dining!

This award winning venue caters to all dietary restrictions while offering elegant menu options. Tree Tops offers an avant-garde, elevated dining atmosphere, amongst a 120-year old tree top canopy, overlooking the Thai landscape and turquoise sea.

No need to RSVP for this separately. You will be asked if you are attending in your Digital RSVP. If you decide to attend, we will make the reservation. Please be prepared to pay for yourself.

What's the Plan?

We're getting married in a destination elopement/intimate way!

This style of wedding resonates with who we are, our budget, and our dreams.

While technically this is an elopement, we are welcoming our very few closest family and best friends the option to join us if they wish.

Our wedding ceremony and reception will be hosted at the Amari Koh Samui Resort on the beautiful, tropical island of Koh Samui in Thailand. We will also be staying at this resort during the wedding period, from Dec 27th - 30th. (We will be staying at the Evergreen Resort prior to this, Dec 24-26th. The Evergreen is a short walk away from the Amari Koh Samui.) Check the Travel page for more information on the island, the resort, and other offers in the area.

Location: Amari Koh Beach Resort

Time: 4:15pm til late

Beach Front Ceremony

Our ceremony will be located on the beachfront, accessible from the resort. This will be an unplugged ceremony, meaning, we ask that you put your cameras, mobile devices, and tablets away for the duration of the ceremony.  Don't worry, we will have a photographer/videographer capturing the moments. 

Beach Reception Dinner

We will have a sit down dinner on the beach, while enjoying the ocean views under the stars with banquet style dining. We will have entertainment during dinner.

During the reception, you are free to use your mobile devices or cameras for photos and videos but please refrain from making video calls or phone calls until the celebrations are complete. If you must do so, kindly leave the reception area to do so.

Please do not share images/videos or the names of the bride and groom with non-attendees or social media until approved to do so.

We don't mind you sharing images/videos of decorations, yourselves, food, scenery, etc. , just do not include us or our names in these images.

Wet Weather Plan

In some cultures, rain on the day of a wedding is considered to be good luck for the bride and groom. In the event of rain, both the ceremony and reception will be moved inside of the hotel.

Accommodation and Transportation to the Event

Guests will be responsible for their own accommodation and transportation to and from the event. If you are booking a room on-site with us, this will be easy! Just make your way downstairs. If not, there are numerous hotels, hostels, and resorts within walking distance from Amari Koh Beach Resort. Please see our suggestions in the Travel section for all of our recommendations. Otherwise, getting around on the island is pretty seamless with tuk-tuks, ride hailing apps, and taxis. Please see the Travel page for more information.

Suggested Attire

Beach Glam / Beach Formal

What is beach glam/formal?

This dress style suggests an elegant beach wedding and reception. Essentially, dress to impress while dressing for the elements (sunny, hot climate, sand, outdoors). Anything you'd wear to a very nice outdoor restaurant on a hot summer's day would be suitable.

Ladies:

Formal summer's dress at any length, flowy pants, shorts, or skirts, light colors, etc. May want to bring a light jacket or wrap if you get cold easily incase it is windy. 

Footwear: Bare feet, nice sandals, or wedges are ideal as both the ceremony and reception will be on sand

Gents:

A summer suit or nice button down shirt and lightweight pants are ideal (linens, khaki, chinos, light colors and breathable fabrics). * ties are not required but you are welcome to wear one.

Footwear: Bare feet, nice sandals, loafers, boat shoes are ideal.

*the wedding reception will be on sand so barefoot or flat shoes are strongly encouraged. If the event is moved indoors due to weather, shoes are encouraged. 

RSVP By

July 1st, 2024

Please note, in order to RSVP, you will need to provide us with a copy of your flight itinerary (and accommodation booking if you have it).

We will be flying out of Koh Samui to start our Honeymoon in the morning of December 30th. We would like to have one last hurrah on the island at Pak Tai, located in the Ritz-Carlton.

After an unimaginable dinner experience at the Ritz-Carlton’s Sawah Terrace on Christmas Day last year in Bali, we wanted a similar experience, so opted for Pak Thai this time around. If you are up to it, please feel free to join us in saying goodbye to everyone and the island.

Pak Thai has been listed as one of the best restaurants on the island and offers a traditional interpretation of southern Thai cuisine in the privacy of a personal dining space. Their menu caters to various dietary requirements, while incorporating vibrant flavors in each bite.

No need to RSVP for this separately. You will be asked if you are attending in your Digital RSVP. If you decide to attend, we will make the reservation. This restaurant does not accept walk-ins, so if you think you might attend, put yes down and if you change your mind, you can let us know. Please be prepared to pay for yourself.
