The Ritz Carlton, Bali

The Ritz Carlton is the priciest venue, but also the most convenient, offering the most amenities and serving as the location for all wedding events.

IMPORTANT: If you choose to stay at the Ritz-Carlton, please book through our wedding planner via WhatsApp at +62 821-3877-5125 to receive the group rate. Be sure to mention our names, Chin Wei & Amy. Booking through our planner will also help the hotel coordinate and organize our guests more efficiently.

VOUK Hotel & Suites Bali

Vouk offers slightly more amenities than Santika and is more upscale. However, there are fewer shops and restaurants within walking distance.

Hotel Santika Siligita Nusa Dua

Santika is the most budget-friendly option, featuring a restaurant, a pool, and a shuttle to the beach, with shops and restaurants just a short walk away.

Transportation

Airport

The closest airport to the wedding venue is I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, commonly referred to as Denpasar Airport (DPS).

Ride share

Grab and Gojek are popular and affordable options in Bali. If you are staying mostly at the hotel venue, Grab and Gojek should be sufficient.

Private driver

Private drivers are also affordable in Bali costing between 700,000 to 1,000,000 IDR per 10 hours. If you plan to explore Bali, a private driver may be worth it for convenience. Let us know if you're interested, and we’ll arrange a driver and share their details closer to your trip.

What should I wear?

Dress codes

• Men

  Linen or dress pants with a polo, short-sleeve button-up, or lightweight dress shirt.
• Women

  Midi or maxi dresses, dressy jumpsuits, or elegant separates.

What is the theme for the wedding?

Our wedding doesn’t have a strict theme, but the colors are white, green, and a touch of gold. We are not expecting our guests to match, just wear any colors that you love and enjoy the celebration!

Is there a wedding registry?

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. For those who have asked about giving a gift, please know that there is absolutely no expectation. However, if you still wish to contribute, you’re welcome to support our newlywed fund in the following ways: Red packet, Venmo, PayNow or PayLah.

What should I pack for the trip?

We recommend bringing:

• Mosquito repellent and bug bite cream
• Sun protection
• Cash – Many places accept credit cards, but some are cash-only. If you hire a private driver, you'll need to pay in cash, including the tip.
• Comfortable walking shoes or sandals – Many roads and sidewalks can be uneven.

Water Safety in Bali

To stay healthy, be mindful of the water situation: Drink only bottled water, which is widely available and the safest option. Use bottled or hotel-provided water when brushing your teeth to rinse and gargle.

Be cautious with ice – Always check that it’s made from purified water before consuming!

Tips for Identifying Safe Ice

Ask the staff if the ice is purified or filtered—many reputable establishments are used to this question.

Look for cylinder-shaped ice with a hole in the middle, as this is commercially produced by certified suppliers.

Stick to reputable hotels, well-known restaurants, and tourist-friendly cafes, as they are more likely to use safe ice.

Food Safety Tips

Eat at reputable restaurants and cafes – Well-reviewed or hotel-recommended places are typically safer.

Be cautious with street food – While tempting, avoid anything that doesn’t look freshly cooked or served hot.

Choose freshly cooked dishes – Hot, cooked-to-order meals are less likely to cause issues.

Beware of raw or undercooked food – Avoid sushi, salads, and anything that may have been prepared with unfiltered water.

Toilets in Bali

Western-style toilets – Common in hotels, restaurants, and tourist areas, often equipped with toilet paper.

Toilet spray (bidet hose) – Many toilets have a spray hose for cleaning instead of toilet paper. The spray may cause the floor to get wet, so tread carefully.

Carry tissues or toilet paper – Not all places provide toilet paper, so having a small pack can be handy.

Cultural Considerations

Use your right hand – In Balinese culture, the left hand is considered unclean, so always give and receive items with your right hand.

Avoid touching people’s heads – The head is considered sacred in Balinese culture, so avoid patting kids or adults on the head.

Money & Connectivity

ATMs and cash exchange – Be aware that not all ATMs are reliable. Use ones inside banks or reputable areas to avoid scams.

A universal adapter – Bali uses European-style plugs (Type C & F, 230V), so bring an adapter if needed.
