The honest answer: most couples we plan for spend between IDR 120 million and IDR 350 million (roughly USD 7,500–21,500) for a complete celebration, depending on guest count and venue. Guests flying themselves to the island is the trade — nearly everything on the ground costs a fraction of what it would at home.
Cost by guest count
Across the Bali market in 2026, complete weddings land in these bands. The ranges are wide because the venue choice — beach villa, clifftop estate or five-star resort — moves the number more than anything else.
What our packages actually cost
We publish our villa packages with real prices rather than "from" teasers. Each number below is complete — venue, full planning and coordination, decoration, dining, photography and videography, entertainment, and government tax and service charge. Approximate US dollar figures use ~IDR 16,000 to the dollar; rates move.
Run the arithmetic and a complete hundred-guest villa wedding lands around USD 170–190 per guest — venue, dinner, flowers, photographer and band included. That per-guest figure is the honest reason couples fly everyone to Bali.
Where the money goes
A typical split we see across full celebrations:
- Venue and accommodation — 30–40% of the budget
- Food and beverage — 25–30%
- Decoration and florals — 10–15%
- Photography and videography — 8–12%
- Entertainment, MC and ceremony — 5–8%
- Planning and coordination — bundled in our packages; 10–15% elsewhere
What moves the number
Guest count drives catering and seating almost linearly. Venue type is the big lever: a private villa buys out the whole property, while resorts price per event space. Season matters — the dry months from May to September book out first and price accordingly. Alcohol is imported and taxed, so open bars add real money. And a legal ceremony adds paperwork and celebrant costs over a symbolic one — worth deciding early.
The costs couples forget
- Venue and banjar (village) fees for villa weddings
- Generator, sound and lighting — villas rarely carry event-grade power
- Tax and service charge, 15–21% on top of most quoted venue prices
- Guest transfers between hotels and the venue
- Vendor meals and crew logistics
Every one of those is already inside our published packages — it is the difference between a price and an estimate.
