Creating Intentional Intimate Moments During Their Stone Villas Uluwatu Wedding

We wanted to celebrate the people close to us, those who have been with us as we grew. Our goal was to create a fun and intimate atmosphere where everyone could enjoy socializing from the comfort of their own homes. The guest list, venue, decor, and activities were all planned with this intention. Seeing our friends having fun, letting loose, and quickly making new friends made the celebration even more special.

Advice: Plan Ahead For Your Destination Wedding

We suggest you plan a year ahead for popular destination weddings in high demand. This timeframe provides ample opportunities to choose from a variety of excellent vendors. Planning also allows enough time to feel comfortable with vendor decisions and provides flexibility for any necessary revisions. This way, you can ensure that every detail is thoughtfully considered and that your destination wedding becomes the dream celebration you envision.

Navigating Their Stone Villas Uluwatu Wedding Planning Through the Wisdom of Married Bridesmaids

Our friends, especially the bridesmaids–many of whom are already married–shared valuable do’s and don’ts with us. Their insights were incredibly helpful in navigating the wedding preparations. Regarding spending, we decided to splurge on elements that would elevate the party’s enjoyment, like great food and drinks. We also invested in pre and after-party arrangements to extend the celebration throughout the weekend. This way, we aimed to create a wedding experience that was not only special but also filled with joy and lasting memories.

Choosing a Venue that Held a Special Place in Their Hearts

The Uluwatu cliff seashores hold a special place in our hearts, creating fond memories. During our time at the Stone Villas, we found delight in a spacious central joglo, providing a wonderful setting for everyone to unwind and enjoy each other’s company. Combining the breathtaking Uluwatu cliffs and the warm atmosphere of the central joglo made our experience truly unforgettable.
