Beach Wedding Planning Tips

There’s something truly magical about exchanging vows with your feet in the sand, the sea breeze in your hair, and the sound of gentle waves behind you. At Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort & Spa, we’ve helped countless couples bring their beach wedding dreams to life, right here on the quiet, golden shores of Natai Beach. If you’re considering a destination wedding in Thailand, here are a few tips we’ve gathered over the years to help you plan your perfect day.

Timing Is Everything

When it comes to beach weddings, the weather is just as important as the guest list. In Phang Nga, the dry season lasts from November to April — a popular time for weddings, thanks to clear skies and calm seas. These months offer some of the best conditions for outdoor ceremonies, with ample sunshine and relatively mild temperatures.

December and January are particularly popular, so early booking is advised. If you’re looking for something quieter, February and March also bring warm days without the peak crowds. And while the rainy season (May to October) offers lush scenery and lower rates, we recommend choosing these dates only if you’re open to flexible plans.

Pre-Wedding Visit

We always encourage couples to visit us before the big day if possible. A pre-wedding trip gives you a feel for the space — from the ceremony spot to the reception layout — and helps bring your vision to life. You’ll meet our dedicated wedding team, sample our menus, explore room options for your guests, and maybe even treat yourselves to a massage or two at our Ayurah Wellness Centre.

It’s a chance to slow down and enjoy the moment before the whirlwind of celebrations begins. And if travel beforehand isn’t possible, don’t worry — we’re here to guide you through every step remotely, with full transparency and warmth.

Choose a Wedding Package That Fits

We offer a selection of thoughtfully curated wedding packages, each designed to simplify planning while allowing for personal touches.

Our Western-style ceremony includes everything from floral décor and guest seating to make-up, photography, and a romantic villa setup for your wedding night. It’s ideal for those looking for a timeless yet tropical celebration.

Prefer something more spiritual and rooted in tradition? Our Traditional Thai Wedding Ceremony features a blessing with Buddhist monks, flower garlands, and ceremonial rituals, set against the backdrop of our gardens or along the beach.

Planning something intimate? Our “Just the Two of Us” and Vow Renewal packages are perfect for smaller, meaningful moments — with everything taken care of so you can enjoy.

Whichever you choose, each wedding is supported by our experienced planners, who coordinate the day from start to finish.

Craft an Experience Your Guests Will Remember

We’re not just a beach resort — we’re a destination. With suites, pool villas, and beachfront residences, your guests will feel relaxed and well cared for throughout their stay.

We can arrange private group dinners, cocktail receptions on the lawn, and even sunrise yoga sessions or Thai cooking classes for pre- or post-wedding bonding. Whether it’s a long weekend or an extended holiday, your guests will enjoy every moment.

And once the festivities are over, there’s no need to travel for your honeymoon — you’re already in paradise.

Add Your Own Style

From classic elegance to beach boho, we love helping couples add those small personal touches that make the day truly theirs. Whether it’s a live band or a DJ, fire spinners or Thai dancers, sunset lantern releases or signature cocktails — if you can imagine it, we’ll do our best to make it happen.

Our team can also assist with stationery, styling, lighting, sound, custom menus, and any other elements that reflect your unique personality as a couple.

Let Us Take Care of the Details

Weddings should be joyful, not stressful. That’s why we handle everything behind the scenes — from timeline management to vendor coordination — so you can focus on what matters: each other. We’ll walk with you every step of the way, whether you’re planning months or making a last-minute decision to say “I do” on the sand.

Our promise is simple: heartfelt service, honest communication, and unforgettable moments.
