One accountable Mumbai planning office for an international wedding — venue, rooms, licensed Indian caterers, decor, permits and India-to-Samui logistics under a single flat-fee plan, so an island destination wedding stays calm, clear and exactly as intended.
Before you commit, we confirm whether the Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui truly fits your guest count, functions and budget — its strength is the mid-size, multi-setting island resort wedding, not a single 600-cover ballroom. We're honest in writing about the ~120 indoor ceiling and the beach-marquee plan a larger sangeet or reception needs.
We request and compare the resort's best available rates, room-block and buyout terms for your dates — no inflated middleman pricing, subject to the venue's confirmation.
We arrange the mandap on the beachfront lawn or Sala Thai, the havan (fire) clearance, the baraat (with dhol where permitted), the pandit, and licensed outside Indian or Jain caterers — plus the import of decor and key vendors from India, all cleared against resort and Thai rules.
We plan your dates inside the dry Nov–Apr window (Samui's rain peaks Oct–Nov, later than the Andaman coast), map every outdoor function to a covered backup or a marquee, and handle the beach-ceremony permit and the public-beach sound curfew so pheras and the after-party never get cut short.
BOM/DEL → USM routing via Bangkok or Phuket, visa-exempt / visa-on-arrival briefings for Indian passport holders, group airport transfers, welcome desks, hillside buggy planning for elderly guests and rooming across the ~175-key block — we run the whole guest journey from India to Tan Sai Bay.
Our planning fee stays separate from vendor billing, and we take a limited number of weddings each month for senior attention on an international wedding.
Eight event settings across the hillside resort — the elevated Sala Thai ocean-view pavilion, a beachfront lawn on the private bay, the indoor Banquet Hall, the Tides upper deck, the flexible Baan Talat space and the Prachum function rooms — so a full multi-day Indian wedding can run end to end on one property with a covered backup. The largest indoor space seats around 120, so a big sangeet or reception moves to a beach marquee; exact capacities depend on layout and we confirm with the resort for your guest count.
One natural way a 3–4 day mid-size Indian destination wedding can run across the resort. We tailor the exact flow to your functions, guest count and the season.

A private-bay island resort minutes from Samui Airport makes Koh Samui one of Thailand's most self-contained wedding settings — but the connecting flights, the monsoon window, visas, hillside transport, beach permits and licensed catering all need a plan. We run all of it from Mumbai.
