It delivers richer photography, more personal service, a tighter emotional experience for your guests, and a multi-day celebration rather than a single evening. For couples who want their wedding to feel like the best holiday of everyone\u2019s lives, the answer is a fully staffed&nbsp;private&nbsp;villa&nbsp;looking over&nbsp;the Andaman Sea.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: Phuket offers private villa estates with full-service staff, breathtaking [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":56,"featured_media":24598,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,8,41],"tags":[822,76,831,718,885,1459,886,759,438],"class_list":["post-24595","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destinations","category-lifestyle","category-weddings","tag-dreamwedding","tag-phuket","tag-phuketluxury","tag-phuketluxuryvillas","tag-weddingdream","tag-weddinginphuket","tag-weddingvenue","tag-weddingvillas","tag-wedding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Why Phuket Is the Ultimate Destination for a Luxury Micro Wedding &#8226;
