Couples planning a destination wedding in Bali tend to arrive at the same crossroads: a long list of vendors to coordinate, a venue that may or may not have a backup plan for rain, and no one on the ground who knows their names yet. At Astagina Resort Villa and Spa in Legian, we built our Bali wedding packages specifically around that problem.
Whether you are planning a private elopement for two or a grand garden celebration for 250, everything from the ceremony setup and catering to photography, accommodation, and coordination sits within one property and one team. This guide walks through what that means in practice, from how we size packages to how we handle the details couples planning from overseas tend to worry about most.
Key Takeaways: Is an All-Inclusive Bali Wedding Package Right for Your Celebration?
- Astagina Resort accommodates weddings for 2–250 guests across six package tiers, from elopement ceremonies to grand garden receptions, all within one tropical Legian property.
- Each Bali wedding resort package bundles venue, ceremony setup, decoration, catering, photography, videography, and an in-house wedding coordinator—no separate vendors needed.
- The resort’s ballroom serves as a fully equipped indoor backup venue, already included in the package as a practical contingency for unpredictable Bali weather at no extra cost.
- With 74 rooms and villas on site, couples can host family and guests within the same property, with special group rates available for wedding parties.
- All couples are supported by our in-house wedding planner throughout the process, from the initial brief to on-the-day coordination, allowing you to plan your celebration with ease without needing to be physically present until your arrival.
Why Couples Choose an All-Inclusive Wedding in Bali
Bali is one of Asia-Pacific’s most practical destination wedding choices, with a tropical climate, rich culture, venues at every price point, easy flights from Australia, the UK, Singapore, and Southeast Asia, and costs well below Europe or North America. For a garden wedding in Bali with authentic tropical scenery instead of a styled ballroom, Astagina’s private garden in central Legian, five to ten minutes from the beach, offers a naturally photogenic setting with minimal extra styling.
Astagina also consolidates everything into one point of contact: venue, ceremony setup, decoration, catering, photography, videography, sound system, and an in-house wedding planner. All packages include villa, breakfast, afternoon tea, honeymoon flower set up, and return airport transfer for the couple.
What Is Included in an Astagina Resort Wedding Package?
The core appeal of an all-inclusive approach is consolidation. Rather than sourcing a venue, a separate florist, a photographer, a caterer, a sound technician, and a coordinator individually and then managing their communication with each other, couples who book through Astagina have one point of contact for all of it.
Depending on the package selected, inclusions cover venue usage, ceremony setup, elegant decoration including flower arch and aisle florals, catering and beverage service, professional photography and videography, sound system, welcome drinks and canape service, and a full in-house wedding planner and coordinator from initial consultation through to the day itself. Couples who want to explore what each tier covers in detail can review the full breakdown on the wedding packages page.
Choosing the Right Package by Guest Count
Astagina’s packages are structured around guest numbers rather than a fixed format, which makes it easier for couples to identify the right starting point before customisation.
| Package Tier | Guest Range | Setting | Ideal For |
| Elopement | 1 to 15 guests | Intimate garden | Couples-only ceremonies, symbolic celebrations |
| Intimate | 10 to 50 guests | Banyan Garden as Ceremony Venue and Lagoon Lounge as Reception Dinner venue | Close family and friends, semi-private receptions |
| Medium | 50 to 100 guests | Astagina Courtyard | Mid-sized garden receptions |
| Grand Celebration | 100 to 250 guests | Astagina Courtyard | Large destination weddings, multi-family celebrations |
Decoration, menu, entertainment, and layout can all be tailored within each tier. Couples who have a specific concept in mind, a colour palette, preferred entertainment style, or particular food and beverage requirements, can discuss this with the in-house wedding team during the planning process.
The Ballroom Backup: Why This Matters More Than Most Couples Realise
Choosing an outdoor garden venue in Bali without a confirmed indoor contingency is a planning risk that most destination wedding couples only think about after they have already committed. Bali’s weather is genuinely unpredictable outside of the dry season, and even during lower-risk periods, sudden afternoon rain is not unusual.
At Astagina, the on-site ballroom is included in the Bali garden wedding venue package as a ready-to-use backup rather than an additional cost. The transition from outdoor to indoor can be managed by the resort team without dismantling the event, and the ballroom setup mirrors the garden’s aesthetic so the change in setting does not dramatically alter the atmosphere guests experience. Couples planning from overseas should confirm their backup arrangement before signing any outdoor venue contract, regardless of where they are looking.
Accommodation: Staying Together Changes the Experience
One of the most underrated advantages of choosing a resort for a destination wedding is what happens to the guest experience when everyone is staying in the same place. Pre-wedding dinners, morning-after brunches, and the informal gathering that naturally happens are all considerably easier when guests do not need to arrange transport between properties.
Astagina Resort has 74 rooms and villas across multiple room categories, making it a practical choice for wedding groups of varying sizes. Special accommodation rates are available for wedding groups, allowing family and friends to stay on-site at a special group rate. Couples interested in block-booking rooms for their guest list can discuss this with the wedding team when planning the broader logistics of the celebration. For inspiration on how other couples have approached the full reception experience here, the wedding reception planning guide in our journal covers the detail across ceremony formats, dining styles, and entertainment options.
What Couples and Families Say About Celebrating at Astagina
The most consistent feedback we hear is not about a single detail but about how the day felt as a whole. When planning is handled in one place, couples arrive in Bali with significantly less to manage, and that changes the emotional experience of the week itself.
“I was in Bali for my granddaughter’s wedding with a small family group. The entire experience at Astagina Resort Villas and Spa was amazing. From the pickup from the airport to the drop off a week later the staff went above and beyond to make this a special time for all of us.”

“We decided to stay here as well as have our wedding here August 2023. Could not recommend highly enough for both accommodation and wedding venue. We also had friends and family stay and everyone kept saying how much they loved the resort. We hadn’t been to Astagina so was a bit nervous about booking a wedding venue without seeing first but we weren’t disappointed. Ayu helped organise the big day and was really quick with answering any questions I had and being very accommodating. The setup was amazing and so organized, could not have asked for a better day/night.”

Planning a Bali Wedding from Overseas: What to Expect
Most of our couples are planning their wedding from Australia, the UK, Singapore, or elsewhere in Europe and Asia. Very few have visited the resort in person before their wedding week. The planning process is designed to work entirely remotely until arrival.
From the first inquiry, couples work directly with our in-house wedding planner who manages the full brief: understanding their preferences, coordinating with internal teams on decoration, catering, and logistics, tracking every detail, and maintaining consistent communication throughout. The goal is that couples arrive in Bali knowing their wedding is already organised, not arriving to find out what decisions still need to be made. For couples who want to understand the broader planning process for a Bali garden wedding, including how venue spaces are used across ceremony and reception, the planning guide covers this in full detail.
Questions Couples Ask Before Committing to a Package
What is included in an Astagina Resort Villa & Spa wedding package?
Packages can include the venue, ceremony setup, decoration, catering, beverages and bar service, in-house wedding planner, sound system, entertainment, photography, and videography, all arranged in one place so couples avoid coordinating multiple external suppliers. See the full wedding packages page for details.
How many guests can Astagina Resort Villa & Spa accommodate for a wedding?
From intimate elopements to grand celebrations of up to 250 guests, our garden wedding venue can be arranged to suit any guest count and wedding style.
Is Astagina Resort Villa & Spa suitable for couples planning their wedding from overseas?
Yes. Our in-house wedding planner communicates with you throughout the planning process, helps with selections, and coordinates all details with the team before you arrive in Bali.
Can I customize my Astagina Resort Villa & Spa wedding package?
Yes. Packages can be tailored by guest count, budget, and style, with our wedding team helping customize decoration, menus, beverages, entertainment, ceremony arrangements, photography, and videography via our wedding packages page.
Does Astagina Resort Villa & Spa offer accommodation and an indoor backup venue?
Yes. With 61 resort rooms and 13 private villas, groups can stay together at special rates, and our ballroom is included as an indoor backup venue for peace of mind against unexpected weather.
When the Venue, the Team, and the Guests Are All in One Place
The clearest advantage of an all-inclusive resort wedding is not any single inclusion. It is the simplification of everything that surrounds the day itself. One team, one property, one point of contact from the first email to the morning after. Couples planning from overseas in particular tend to feel this most clearly when they arrive and find that the decisions they made remotely have translated into exactly what they expected.
