Location details of Bali & its connectivity with the world

The Indonesian island is home to the most splendid resorts, grassy valleys, mountains, craggy coastlines, and beaches adorned with magnificent coral reefs and high-spirited restaurants. The spirituality and culture of Bali add to a sacred touch. 

Anyone in the world can easily reach Bali by landing at The Ngurah Rai International Airport, 13km from Denspar. 

Climate/Best month to get married in Bali

The best time for a wedding in Bali, especially if you’re planning an outdoor ceremony, is between April and October. This is when the island enjoys low humidity during the dry season alongside blue skies and a cool sea breeze. 

Bali has two seasons- Dry & Wet.

Dry season: April to October with less rain and cool breeze.  Wet season: From November to March; it usually rains around this time.

One can organize photography sessions from 10 am to 10 pm, when the natural sunshine is at its best. However, If you want to utilize the sunset for your shoot, the best time is from 6 pm to 7 pm. Bali sometimes experiences unpredictable weather, so rain is always a possibility. However, locals consider rain as a sign of good luck and prosperity on your Big day. Additionally, one can opt for an indoor or ballroom ceremony if plans are affected by the weather. 

Legal wedding in Bali

Are you thinking about whether you can get legally married in Bali, and whether the marriage will be recognized in your home country? Absolutely yes! Foreigners can have a legal wedding in Bali. The most important thing you need to know is that you are legally required to have a religious ceremony followed by civil registration.

Bali is part of the Republic of Indonesia and is subject to Indonesian Laws. Every couple who would like to get married in Bali must comply with these marriage Laws No. 1 of 1974 concerning marriages in Indonesia (Article 2 (1): “marriage is legitimate if it has been performed according to the laws of the respective religious beliefs of the parties concerned”. However, it’s by no means 100% foolproof, as sometimes the laws in Indonesia are subject to change based on the Regional Autonomy or have not been made crystal clear.

But there are a few more rules which must be considered. There are 5 religions accepted legally by Indonesia Civil Registry Office: Moslem, Protestant, Catholic, Buddhist, and Hindu.

We would suggest you contact us and make an appointment to seek the assistance of our legal expert.
