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.
