What Is Included in a Bali Wedding Package?
Packages vary widely. Here’s what a Bali wedding package typically includes, what’s often charged separately, and how to compare fairly.
Why “what’s included” matters so much
The phrase “Bali wedding package” can mean wildly different things from one provider to the next. One package might cover only the ceremony; another might include a full reception with dinner, drinks and a band. That’s why the headline price tells you almost nothing on its own — the real question is always what’s included. Knowing the typical inclusions (and the common extras) lets you compare fairly and avoid surprises. Our packages are always itemised so you can see exactly what you’re getting.
Typical inclusions
Most Bali wedding packages, at minimum, include the core ceremony elements:
- Ceremony venue and setup — beach, villa, clifftop or resort.
- Wedding arbour, aisle styling and seating.
- A celebrant or officiant for a legal, religious or symbolic ceremony.
- Bridal bouquet, buttonhole and ceremony florals.
- Hair and makeup for the bride.
- Photography (coverage varies by package).
- Planning and on-the-day coordination.
All-inclusive packages go further, adding the reception: a plated or buffet dinner, beverages, a cake, and often entertainment like a DJ. These cover the whole day from ceremony to dance floor.
What’s often charged separately
This is where couples get caught out. Items frequently not included in a base package — and worth asking about — include:
- Additional guests beyond the package’s base number.
- Upgraded or premium styling and florals.
- Videography (often separate from photography).
- Extra photography hours or a second shooter.
- Premium bar packages and additional beverages.
- Legal documentation fees for a legal ceremony.
- Guest transport and accommodation coordination.
None of these are hidden traps when a planner is upfront — but they can make a “cheap” package expensive once you add what you actually need.
Questions to ask before you book
To compare packages fairly, look past the price and ask: How many guests does this cover, and what’s the cost per extra guest? Is the reception included or ceremony-only? Is video included? What styling and florals, specifically? What’s the legal/document cost? Are transport and coordination covered? Our guide to Bali wedding mistakes to avoid expands on reading the fine print.
Our approach: tailored, not boxed
Rather than forcing you into a fixed bundle, we treat packages as a starting point and tailor them to your guest count, style and budget — so you only pay for what you want, and you always know what each element costs. Tell us what matters most to you, and we’ll build a package (and a clear, itemised quote) around it.
