Weddings in Chiang Mai ? The Best Moment of Your life in the Lap of Nature

Posted by Howie’s HomeStay on December 6th, 2016

If you want to say “I do” in an exotic destination, surrounded only by your closest friends and family, a destination wedding in Chiang Mai is an ideal choice. This part of Northern Thailand allows you to get married next to beautiful rice fields with a backdrop of gorgeous mountains and have village elders bless your union. Contrary to what you might think, weddings in Ching Mai don’t have to be expensive. A destination wedding also allows you to spend quality time with the people you love most. Ready to tie the knot in Chiang Mai? Here are a few things to take into consideration.

Best Time for Weddings in Chiang Mai

The exotic city of Chiang Mai seems to be a perfect option all throughout the year. And, if you are planning for your wedding, specially between October and January, Chiang Mai will be the perfect option. The floral extravaganza is sure to turn the event to a memorable one.  

Types of Weddings in Chiang Mai

Lanna style weddings are the most popular types of celebrations here because they are the most ‘authentic.’ You can get married somewhere in the Mae Rim Valley. Of course, you are also free to arrange a wedding ceremony according to your faith—whether you’re Christian, Chinese, or Muslim. 

Do you want to simply exchange your vows in Chiang Mai or do you want to legalize your union in Thailand? The latter requires a bit of paperwork (which a local wedding planner can arrange for you). It’s advisable to get in touch with a planner a few months before your intended wedding date as the process takes weeks to complete. 

The costs of weddings in Chiang Mai depend entirely on how many guests you have and where you want to get married, but traditional lanna wedding packages hover in the 00 range. This already includes set-up, decoration, entertainment, and refreshments. 

Booking a Luxurious Private Villa

Many couples who get married in Chiang Mai book a private villa for themselves and their wedding party. Choose a property where you will be the only guests. Look for a multi-awarded resort in Chiang Mai that provides a network of architecturally-stunning villas in a private garden. You and your new spouse can enjoy your privacy in one of the villas while your guests stay in the other units, but you can all eat, swim, and lounge together in the common areas.
