Wow factor
Soak up some of the best sea views on Phuket while you 'thai' the knot with a beautiful private beach as your backdrop. With a team of talented in-house chefs at your disposal, the food's no slouch either: choose between cocktails and canapés, a beach barbecue or a six-course sit-down tasting menu.
Need to know
Trisara’s in-house wedding planner will coordinate everything for your special occasion, ensuring it's tailor-made to your tastes (contact events@trisara.com). Thai and western ceremonies can be arranged on the beach, the spacious deck or in one of the luxe yet homely residential villas, with full support from the resort's respected chefs. A team of Trisara florists will customise flowers to your design, and you can also specify wedding cake details and work with the hotel's recommended photographers. Trisara's beauty salon will handle hair and make-up, and the hotel can coordinate entertainment (from classical trios to a DJ or band), transport and accommodation for your guests (up to 80 can sleep within the hotel's grounds; 150 if you also take over the privately-owned residential villas nearby). More couples opt for dry season weddings (November–April), but the hotel welcomes weddings year-round and always makes contingency plans for wet weather. Marquees are an option, but usually only if you're using the residential villas, and at a couple's own expense. Venues don't require licences to host wedding ceremonies in Thailand, and most couples actually register their marriage before or after.
Inspiration
Whether you're after a ceremony or just a celebration, here you can enjoy a tropical beach wedding; getting hitched on the seaside, palm-fringed outdoor deck; or a glam meal indoors in the restaurant. For extra privacy and luxury, opt for one of the swanky residential villas located alongside the hotel, which can be hired for a memorable house party vibe.
