One accountable Mumbai planning office for an island wedding 4,000 km away — venue, villas, licensed Indian caterers, decor import, permits and guest travel under a single flat-fee plan, so a Koh Samui wedding stays calm, clear and unmistakably yours.
Before you commit, we confirm whether Banyan Tree Samui truly fits your guest count, functions and budget — its strength is a beach-plus-ballroom program for intimate-to-mid-size weddings (around 120 seated) or a private buyout, not a single 250+ seated hall. We set the seated-capacity ceiling honestly and in writing.
We request and compare the resort's best available villa, room-block and full-buyout terms for your dates — no inflated middleman pricing, subject to the resort's confirmation.
Hindu mandap on the beach or lawn, baraat, multi-day functions, and licensed outside Indian / Jain caterers with proper kitchen access — we confirm what the resort allows, arrange the permits, and protect your rituals.
Samui's wet season runs differently from western Thailand. We plan Nov–Apr, keep the Banyan Ballroom as a committed indoor backup for every outdoor function, and hold a wet-weather call sheet so rain never decides the day.
Flights from BOM/DEL via Bangkok, Phuket or Singapore into Samui (USM), visa-on-arrival / DTV guidance for Indian guests, airport meet-and-greet, buggy movement across the terraced resort and inter-function transfers — all run by Elite.
Our planning fee stays separate from vendor billing, and we take a limited number of weddings each month for senior, on-ground attention in Thailand.
A private cove gives a full multi-day wedding distinct stages without leaving the resort — a barefoot beach, a beachfront lawn, a clifftop terrace, and the Banyan Ballroom, the only large indoor banquet room on Samui and your monsoon-proof anchor. Exact capacities depend on layout; we confirm with the resort for your guest count.
One natural way a 3–4 day Koh Samui beach-and-ballroom wedding can run. We tailor the exact flow to your functions, guest count, the season and the venue's permits.

An island wedding on a terraced private cove is unforgettable, but flights, visas, transfers, buggy movement and the monsoon calendar all need a plan. We run all of it from Mumbai.
