Balinese weddings are a significant part of Balinese culture, especially the Hindu culture. Because of this importance, each portion of the ceremony is full of symbolism and tradition. The wedding begins with a Memadik process, where the families of the bride and groom ask the bride if she truly desires marriage with this man. If she responds positively, she goes with her husband-to-be to his family’s house. Later that day or soon thereafter, an official ceremony will be held for family and friends to witness.

Weddings in Bali are so full of excitement and tradition that they have become a favorite event even for tourists. While many weddings are still private, some families allow visitors to come; and many visitors to Bali are now paying to have their own Balinese wedding. It is certainly an aspect of Balinese culture that individuals should feel privileged to experience.

If you are contemplating an exotic location for your wedding or honeymoon, Bali is an excellent option. This rich heritage of marriages as well as the assistance that the Balinese will provide with the formalities can be incorporated into your own ceremony, giving you a wedding unlike many other people. It is also a perfect place for a honeymoon – romantic, relaxing, and unique. Without having to worry about cooking, cleaning, or even arranging your own transport, you’ll be able to spend time with your new spouse and experience true luxury together. Whether you stay in a resort, a villa, or some other Balinese accommodation, the personal service and incredible amenities will make your honeymoon unforgettable.
