Planning an event in Bali<\/a> from a distance comes with its own set of challenges. Trust us, we know. For our 25th Anniversary celebrations in Bali, we planned an entire event<\/a> from our offices across Asia. With the best on-ground concierge team and long-standing relations with Bali\u2019s top event planners and vendors, we\u2019ve got remotely<\/a> planning an event in Bali down to a science. Want to know how? Read on.<\/p>\n

This guide covers all you need to know about planning an event in Bali from afar, whether it’s a wedding, a business get-together, or any special occasion<\/a>. Think of it as a helpful tool to make the process of remote event planning in Bali<\/a> surprise-proof.<\/p>\n

Bali: The Perfect Event Destination<\/h3>\n

When it came to choosing a destination for our grand 25th-anniversary<\/a> extravaganza, Bali was the obvious winner. The island of the gods is where Elite Havens started curating villas, 25 years ago, an exquisite blend of time-honoured traditions, culture and luxury in a tropical paradise.<\/p>\n

Recognised as a favourite venue for destination weddings, Bali<\/a> is connected to a multitude of international destinations via direct flights, offering easy accessibility for guests. It is a mature event planning market, with ample online resources connecting you to planners and suppliers, simplifying the coordination process. The tropical climate,<\/a> while idyllic, can bring unexpected weather changes during outdoor events. To address this, parasols were readily available, and the event planners continuously monitored the weather to avoid surprises. Additionally, we secured a tent supplier as a precautionary measure for the day.<\/p>\n

Remotely Planning an Event in Bali<\/h3>\n

The top two challenges are to find the venue and identify your main event<\/a> planner. Since our marketing team is based in other countries, we needed someone reliable and well-connected. We needn\u2019t have worried, it’s hard to decide on one supplier because all of them are so good.<\/p>\n

At first, we wanted to do everything DIY style. We soon realised that it was much better to hire an event planner who would organise and coordinate everything on the ground. By getting an organiser and coordinator who shared the same vision as us, it became easier for us to go about everything else.<\/p>\n

When we finalized our main event organizer, Isle Co, everything else felt like a breeze. They visited the venue first and created a site map for us to picture the event set-up.<\/p>\n

We were surprised how easy it was to remotely plan an event in Bali. We just made Isle Co a mood board and what the vibe of the event should be. They then provided us with creative direction, and suggestions on the details, from the flowers<\/a> to the furniture. Isle Co was also the one who looked for suppliers (florals, cocktails, entertainment, etc.) and different entertainment (string players, dancers, band).<\/p>\n

Event Vendors & Suppliers<\/h3>\n

The event suppliers we chose made a significant impact on the celebration, each contributing to the overall experience. Here are the vendors whom we signed up for our event, though we have plenty of others for you to choose from.<\/p>\n
