Destination weddings are becoming increasingly popular these days, especially among Singaporean couples who prefer more unique and intimate solemnisations. And Bali has always been a relatively affordable option, where one can have a ceremony that’s cheaper than a hotel banquet in Singapore.
Just a 2.5 hour plane journey from Singapore, the island has beautiful romantic landscapes from beaches, to tropical greenery, and clifftops. Check out these venues in Bali with all-inclusive packages for wedding ceremonies and receptions:
With a buffet costing about just $30/person, Mahogany Hotel is a budget-friendly option that doesn’t skimp on the dreamy vibes. Ceremonies are held within the glass Oracle Chapel , while reception parties can be held on the hotel’s rooftop lounge after.
