royal preparations for the Boys

We don’t devote the day entirely to the bride, indeed the sumptuous Honeymoon Villa is at the disposal of the groom and groomsmen and is the perfect base to prepare and chill out in the lead up to the ceremony.

A Breathtaking Welcome

While you are relaxing with your bridal party in villa's, your family and friends are being greeted at the imposing stoned carved entry to the Royal Pita Maha as they arrive for your wedding. We arrange transport for your guests if they are staying at the venue's sister locations and when they do, they are welcomed to the spectacular viewing terrace which is reserved exclusively for your party and where a refreshing welcome drink awaits them. Spread out before them is the glorious panorama of the Ayung River Valley, with its towering walls of jungle peppered with a million and one palms.

It is time...

And now begins the moment you've been waiting for as you and your bridal party make your way to your ceremony location.

There are two stunning all-weather ceremony locations that you can choose from.

The Sacred River Pavilion

The Royal Kadasa

Whether you have chosen the Sacred River Pavilion or the The Royal Kadasa, you will be blown away by soaring ceilings draped in chiffon and magnificent views over the Ayung River and lush tropical vegetation on the other. Your ceremony space will be adorned with flowers, seating beautifully sashed and a bridal aisle of fresh rose petals leads you to the decorated altar backed by a delicate curtain of flowers.

A Ceremony Beyond Your Imagining

Commitment ceremony or legal wedding, let us take care of it all. With Botanica Weddings, all the options are available to you. We can provide everything from a simple commitment ceremony with a Western celebrant to a legal wedding complete with religious minister, celebrant, civil registrar, chaperoned embassy visit and all the paperwork: ceremony text, marriage and legal certificates, all document translation and processing done for you, so all that's left for you to do is sign your name.

Kelly & Rob

BY THE RIVER→The Ayung River is Bali’s most sacred, said to wind from the mountains to the sea like a giant serpent. Hedged by palms rising up from manicured lawns and mossy boulders, it’s a magical natural backdrop.

Charly & Byron

Nadia & Mark

ANCIENT BRIDGE → Located some 50 metres above a hillside of rich, tropical gardens, this romantic stone bridge is a dramatic location for that classic “lovers lost in paradise” study.

Sara & Alex

Jessica & Tom

Paula & Nicolas

HOLY WATER POND: Fed from a mountain spring, the huge crystal pool is so idyllic it defies description, and if you'd rather splash the dress than trash it this is the perfect utopian location.

Alana & Michael

Sarah & Will

THE GARDENS → The Royal Pita Maha is really just one giant garden and there are many delightful corners where you can forget the classical poses in favour of something more spontaneous.

Leila & Nick

Chavonne & Gert

Leigh & Owen

Crystal & Don

SACRED GATES → These traditionally carved stone temple gates at the entrance to the Holy Water Pond are the perfect backdrop for some monumental photographic masterpieces.

The Royal Procession

Just when your friends and family are wondering how you could have organised such a perfect day in a foreign country, your wedding steps up another notch. Cameras simply don’t know where to point anymore as a spectacular troupe of traditional Balinese dancers, torch bearers and musicians leads everyone to the reception. The surprise climax of this incredible spectacle is a Kecak dance and fire walking ritual. Drums pound, sparks fly: this is a show no one will ever forget.

The Grand Entrance

As night falls, it’s time to make a grand entrance through the massive, intricately carved stone gates of the Royal Temple courtyard. If ever there was a time to enjoy being centre stage, this is it.

A Royal Reception

Imagine a dinner setting so magical, it's as if you stepped straight into a fairytale. Tables beautifully set with white linen, elegant glassware and crockery. And to set it all off, those finishing touches which are all included: printed table seating list presented on an easel, floral table centrepieces, chair covers and sashes, tealights, place names, printed menus plus those special effects that bring gasps of delight and discovery: fairylights in the frangipani trees, glowing cream silk lanterns, 100 palm frond candles and flaming bamboo torches. You also have the option of the second level of the Kadasa Villa for your reception, and the Barong Room is available as a wet weather back up all set with a double set up at no additional charge.

Your wedding cake, beautifully decorated by one of Bali’s most celebrated cake makers, is the next star of the show. Choose from over 40 of the best designs, hand selected by the Botanica Weddings team.

Farewell Sparkler

A magical way to end the evening is to finish your night with the beautiful sparkler farewell. Your guests will farewell you into the night with a sparkler send off in a way that is intimate and perfect for photo's as a final end to your amazing wedding day.

It is the perfect end to a reception that will feel more like a dream than a reality.
