Have you ever thought about why so many weddings take place in Thailand? Besides the beautiful beaches and sunsets, there must be something else that makes this place magic, right? So, I did some research and talked to some friends who got married there. This is what I learnt about why people really trust the best wedding planners in Thailand to plan their big day.
Simple and Easy Planning
You might feel like you need to work full-time to plan a wedding. And who wants to be stressed out when they could be drinking margaritas in paradise? People hire Thai planners because they make things look easy. Seriously, it's so easy. Jen, one of my best friends, got married in Phuket last year, and I swear she spent more time picking out outfits than planning the decorations. Venues, food, and photos were all taken care of by the managers, so Jen only had to show up and say "I do."
Real insights from the area
What is the best thing about hiring Thai wedding planners? They live nearby! That means they know all the cool places and secret gems that you won't find on TripAdvisor. The person who planned my cousin Sarah's wedding in Koh Samui knew about this quiet beach that not many people go to. What a cool way to feel exclusive! You're basically getting inside information that will make your wedding not only beautiful but also one of a kind.
Very Good Value for Money
Let's be honest: weddings can spend your money faster than a shopping trip. Thai, though? It's pretty good. The best wedding planners in Thailand know how to work with clients' budgets to get the most out of them. My cheap friend Mike (sorry Mike!) said that his planner got flowers, the site, and even a live band for half of what he would have paid back home. More for your money means you have more money for your vacation or more mai tais at the beach bar.
The Touch of Personality
You might not believe this, but Thai wedding planners really care. I know, it sounds like a broken record. But really, every person I've talked to says that their managers were like family during the process. They care about your day and aren't just checking off boxes. Jen's planner shocked her at her wedding with hand-made decorations that were based on a Pinterest board she had shared in passing months before. Who can remember things like that?! It looks like only the best wedding planners in Thailand do this.
Just chill vibes
Last but not least, and this is probably my favourite reason, Thai planners are all about keeping things easy. The whole wedding scene here has an island-style ease to it. No Bridezilla tantrums, no parents who are stressed out, just good vibes and happy couples. It's like the planners take in all the drama that could happen and turn it into Zen energy. Picking between a wedding on the beach or a cliff is not a stressful thing to think about.
