A very frequently asked question by couples wanting to get married in Bali is whether a wedding in Bali is legal and also recognized in their home country.
The short answer to this is: YES, it is.Β But it does not necessarily need to be if you donβt want or require a legal marriage.
Therefore, you may also opt to only hold a blessing ceremony or a vow renewal ceremony.
Getting legally married in Bali is easier than you may think. Your wedding organizer will advise you on the details.
I need to add that the procedure on how to make your wedding in Bali are similar for most nationalities but may vary slightly from country to country. For countries which do not have a consulate in Bali it may become a slightly more complicated because, for most nationalities getting legally married involves a visit to your home countries consulate or embassy.
You will also need to have some paperwork ready when you come to Bali and your wedding organizer will guide you through the process.

Do you need a wedding planner in Bali to organise the legal side of things or can I do it myself?
yes you do need some sort of wedding company to help you with this. Sometimes the venue where you booked your wedding can help you also.

I have just read that if you are marrying in Bali, then the couple must be of the same religion. Does this apply for all religions or just for Muslim? My partner is Christian and I am Catholic, so will this pose a problem?
Yes basically both need to be of the same religion – however, like for most things in Indonesia there are ways around this and in most cases you can still get legally married even if you do not have the same religion… I am not able to publish details on this because it varies from case to case. I suggest you contact a reputable wedding company and they will advice you on this and help to make it all happen.
Happy Wedding
