Beautiful Bali has a unique cultural heritage and is a fascinating setting for a wedding.

Bali is know as the ‘island of the gods’; and is one of the islands making up the Indonesian archipelago (string of islands). The people of Bali exude friendliness and a warm welcome is guaranteed. Bali is a very spiritual place and you feel this the moment from the moment you arrive, with its hundreds of temples dotted on the landscape of volcanic peaks, lakes and silvery sand beaches.

Bali has a tropical climate appropriate to its proximity to the equator. Year round temperatures average 31 degrees Celsius. High humidity can be expected during the Wet Season which runs between the months of October and April. The Dry Season is between the months of May and September; these months also have the lowest humidity.
The Wet Season brings daily rain and quiet overcast days with the most rain expected between December and February. Occasionally rainfall can also be expected during the dry season but usually at night or very early morning. In the months of June to August, there is usually a very refreshing cool breeze all day long. The central mountain area is typically cooler than the lower coastal areas especially at night. We would recommend you visit during the dry season.
