baliVIP Wedding

We just had our wedding in early December 2023 with BaliVIP as our wedding planner. I am sure most of the newly wedded would say "omg its finally over" right after they finished their reception dinner, but it's not us. When Via and Arlyn from BaliVIP finished the handover and left our hotel suite, the first thing my wife told me was, "I am so glad that we have done this. I will definitely recommend my friends to have their wedding overseas in Bali." And I would give all the credits to BaliVIP and our consultants Via, Jennifer and Arlyn. We are from Hong Kong and the traditional wedding here is boring - 4 hours of reception dinner with 300 guests who you barely interact with them. When we decided to do something special in Bali, we started to gather information and look for a wedding planner. We met a few in Hong Kong who claimed to be experts in overseas wedding, but none of them has even gone to the resort we wanted. We really wanted to do this but we had to confirm our investment was placed correctly. After seeing many negative reviews of them, we almost lost our hope and decided to go with a boring wedding, but our friends reminded us that we could find a local wedding planner. Bali is a wedding hotspot and the wedding planners there who can survive the competition must be true experts. We started to look for the Bali wedding planners online. I'll be honest - I was scared because I have never been to Bali and I wasn't sure how the business works there. Again, this is a big investment and the whole preparation process was all based on trust. Then it came to my mind that in such a wedding hotspot, there must be a Bali Wedding Planner Association. Veronica is the current Chairwoman and this gave a lot of credit to put my faith in her company BaliVIP. I contacted a few planners and BaliVIP's responsiveness was the quickest. After a few research, we already knew how we wanted our wedding to be, but we needed someone who could execute it, and there's where Via and Jennifer stepped in. Based on our initial requirements of venue, guests, decoration and catering, Via gave us a proposal over the initial Zoom call. One thing I can tell objectively is that BaliVIP is a good business partner because the hotel personnels were very responsive to them. It is very convincing when our wedding planner is a personal friend with the event manager of the hotel. Not to mention, right after our initial meeting, before we placed our deposit, BaliVIP created a WhatsApp group for us that included Veronica to oversee our wedding. This gave us motivation to choose BaliVIP in no time. Jennifer provided the quote to us in weeks with various vendors. Everything was very reasonable and clean to understand. We spent 7 months to plan our wedding and the first phase was completed in 2. Towards the 4th and 5th month, Via had helped us to decide the dinner menu, decoration, drink list, room arrangement and procedures. They have a detail document to keep track on our process and request. Says, when we requested to do a traditional Chinese tea ceremony where we would kneel to our parents, they provided the cushion and porcelain tea set so that we did not need to bring the props all the way from Hong Kong. December is a rainy season in Bali. When I asked Via for a contingency plan, she could immediately give me the answer over the call based on her knowledge to the resort layout. We completed the whole wedding plan 2 weeks before the ceremony day, so I was not nervous at all. They were so well prepared on the big day to handle all the ad-hoc tasks. Arlyn and Jennifer are the most improvise persons I have ever seen. With them managing all the crews and tasks such as attire steaming service and the makeup artist service for the Bride, bridesmaid and mothers, my wife and I could savor the moment and enjoy the wedding time with our guests. This is why we needed a wedding planner, and BaliVIP is more than just a wedding planner. They are a friend and the pride of Bali. Their professionalism and welcoming attitude gave us a very positive impression to Balinese. I am glad that we have chosen BaliVIP, and you will regret if you are considering but didnt.

We could not be happier with our wedding experience! We started in September 2022, researching planner and venues. We came to Bali in October 2022 to inspect the venues to check they had been maintained through Covid and to meet perspective planners face to face. We met with a couple planners, but Veronika and the team were by far and away the warmest and most accommodating. We confirmed we would proceed with VIP for the planner, and Pandawa Cliff Estate the venue (organised direct with Elite Havens). VIP arranged a tasting with Amazing Bali and we were blown away with the food (which was equally as good on the night of the wedding) as well as a meeting with Orange Productions to discuss entertainment options. We were able to lock in a a fair bit of planning when in Bali. Over the next 12 months until our wedding 18/10/23 VIP kept in touch, as we chipped away at various planning items. Things ramped up when Casavia (Via) came on board about 3 weeks before the wedding date to close everything out. We were very happy with VIPs professional approach, with a formal accounts team for invoicing and payments. We arrived in Bali 2 days before the wedding and everything was pretty much sorted, all payments made. The team started the set-up the night before the wedding at Pandawa Cliff Estate, then continued from the morning of the wedding. The set-up was meticulous, with extreme attention to detail to ensure everything was straight and tidy. We both had dedicated Wedding Planners on the day helping with everything, and Veronika was onsite making sure all the planning and decorations were coming together. There was no shortage of staff, there would have been 50+ people onsite prepping for the wedding then seeing out the night with us. The VIP team went over and above on the day, everything went off without a hitch, from pre-ceremony, to ceremony and post ceremony pictures, the awesome cocktail hour and then into reception including the entertainment and catering. Us as the wedding couple were well looked after throughout, ensuring we had drinks and food constantly, and well informed of what was going on. Two things to note: - BaliVIP quote in AUD, the other planners quoted in USD. When comparing numbers we almost missed this fact. BaliVIP originally appeared more expensive, but after currency conversion their pricing was more competitive. - there were a few things that got added late that werent originally itemised - food for vendors and a set-up/delivery fee. Overall these didnt break the bank (~$500AUD), but some smaller items to factor in when doing your wedding budget. Overall we could not be happier. Quotes from the night included it feels like we should have bought tickets to this wedding and how is anyone supposed to get married after this. It was a once in a lifetime experience, and we thank BaliVIP and the team for helping us make it happen!!!

Our experience exceeded our expectations on our wedding day and everything was beautiful!! Helmi & the team put together a great production and all of our guests were so pleased to have made the journey from Australia to Bali to experience something so beautiful. We had a vision in mind and the team at Bali VIP went above and beyond to make it come to life. I wish I could do it all over again! Special Thank You to Helmi, Cynthia, Veronica, Stefan & Alva... who made our experience better than we thought!! Big thanks so the rest of the team too!!

I highly recommend BaliVIP Wedding for any bride or groom considering to marry on the beautiful magical island that is Bali. I was married in September, 2015 in a beautiful villa with my close friends and family around. Having never planned a wedding before I had no idea about the first thing I needed to do, all I knew was that I wanted to marry in Bali. I came across BaliVIP Weddings online and sent an inquiry. Within 24 hours my email was responded to and all my initial questions were answered. From that point forward I travelled over to Bali and Veronika spent a number of days taking me around showing me villa options. I found the perfect venue and caters thanks to Veronika's local knowledge. Due to my work commitments I was unable to find time to plan a wedding how I wanted it so I set up a pinterest, which Veronika followed to get ideas of what I wanted. She communicated regularly with me and kept me updated on the progress of my wedding. On the wedding day itself, I was absolutely blown away by just how mud coordination and preparation BaliVIP had done. From the morning of my wedding there were a number of workers setting up for the big event, I couldn't believe how beautiful everything looked. It was much more than I could have done or dreamt of. Veronika created my fairytale wedding and made it the best day of my husband's and my life. We are forever grateful for the work, commitment, passion and enthusiasm that her team demonstrated for our wedding. Our guests are still talking about it being the best wedding they have ever been to. Thank you once again BaliVIP for your expertise to ensure our wedding was a huge success, you went beyond any expectation a bride and groom would have. Kind regards, Lauren and Jonathan

BaliVIP were fantastic, they were easy to deal with and made our wedding in to the perfect day! Thank you BALIVIP!

Dear Veronika and the team at Bali VIP, Baden and I were convinced that after our first meeting, Bali VIP was the wedding planner that could fulfill all of our dreams and give us the magical wedding that we dreamed of. From the beginning your assistance with all the planning and your excellent recommendations were great. You also responded promptly to all my questions which made me feel confident and at ease. The staff at Bali VIP were extremely friendly and were always available for Skype conversations whenever necessary. You also made the money handling and payment to suppliers so easy. Thank you so much for being so attentive and helpful in entire planning process. You really did make it a breeze for us. When the big day arrived both Baden and I had confidence that you and the team would have everything under control and this was exactly the case. Things could not have been any more perfect on the day and the team did a fantastic job. We loved how friendly all the staff were, how they greeted all our guests with a smile and how special the team made Baden and I feel with our own assistants. It truly was a well organized, total stress free day. Everything was just so perfect that our guests are still immersing in the atmosphere of the wedding until now. I often have comments from guests advising that it was the best wedding they have ever attended. Thank you to you and the team at Bali VIP for giving us an unforgettable wedding. I would highly recommend Veronika and her team from Bali VIP as a trusted and organized wedding planner in Bali. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts
