Yes, but there are specific requirements. To be legally married in Bali, both partners must share the same religion recognized by Indonesia (Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Catholicism, Protestant Christianity, or Confucianism). The ceremony must include both a religious and a civil component, conducted simultaneously. Additionally, you’ll need to obtain a Certificate of Non-Impediment (CNI) from your respective embassies. Due to these complexities, many couples opt for a symbolic ceremony in Bali and handle the legalities in their home country.

Bali offers wedding options for a wide range of budgets. For couples looking for a budget-friendly celebration, a simple elopement or small ceremony with minimal guests can start from USD $1,500 to $3,000, often including venue hire, officiant, and basic décor.

For mid-range weddings, including a scenic venue, photography, catering, and entertainment for around 30–50 guests, you can expect to pay USD $7,000 to $15,000.

High-end and luxury weddings, with full resort buyouts, designer styling, gourmet catering, and entertainment for 100+ guests, typically range from USD $25,000 to $80,000+, depending on your vision and level of customization.

Bali’s flexibility makes it a popular destination for all types of weddings — whether you're eloping barefoot on the beach or planning a grand villa affair.

Bali is a beautiful wedding destination all year round. The dry season (May to October) is the most popular time due to its sunny weather and lower chance of rain — perfect for outdoor ceremonies and beachfront receptions.

However, the rainy season (November to April) also has its charm. Showers are usually short and happen in the late afternoon or evening, and the island is lush, vibrant, and less crowded during this time. Plus, many venues offer lower rates and better availability, making it a great option for couples looking for value and a more private experience.

With proper planning (and a solid backup plan in case of rain), you can have an unforgettable wedding in Bali any month of the year.

While it's not mandatory, hiring a local wedding planner is highly recommended. Planners possess in-depth knowledge of local vendors, legal requirements, and cultural nuances. They can handle logistics, coordinate with suppliers, and ensure your wedding day runs smoothly, allowing you to focus on enjoying your special day

Absolutely! Most planners and venues in Bali offer customizable packages to fit your specific needs and preferences. Whether it's adjusting the menu, decor, or ceremony details, flexibility is typically available to ensure your wedding reflects your personal style.

The 'Banjar fee' is a community fee paid to the local village council (Banjar) for events like weddings. It's a customary practice in Bali and is often required, especially for events held in villas or local venues. The fee supports community services and ensures local customs are respected

Ideally, couples should book their Bali wedding 12 to 18 months in advance to secure their dream venue and preferred date — especially during the dry season or for popular cliffside and beachfront spots.

However, last-minute weddings are absolutely possible too! Thanks to Bali’s experienced planners and flexible vendors, beautiful weddings can be organized in as little as a few weeks. If you’re open to weekdays, off-peak dates, or a smaller guest count, your dream wedding can still become a reality — even on short notice.

Whether you're planning a year ahead or just a month out, Bali offers the resources and magic to make it happen.

While same-sex marriages are not legally recognized in Indonesia, many venues in Bali are open to hosting symbolic ceremonies for same-sex couples. It's essential to discuss your plans with your wedding planner to ensure a welcoming and supportive environment for your celebration.
