Koh Samui Wedding Planner: Beach, Villa and Resort Weddings
A Koh Samui wedding planner for couples marrying on Thailand's Gulf island: beach ceremonies, private pool villas and island resorts, planned end to end by our Bangkok and Phuket teams.
One planner, one contract and one point of contact, from the first venue shortlist to the last dance.
Koh Samui Wedding Planner for Island Weddings
Koh Samui sits in the Gulf of Thailand off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus, about 227 square kilometres of beaches, coconut groves and hillside. Couples choose it for white sand beaches such as Chaweng, Lamai and Bophut, sunset terraces, private pool villas and an island setting that feels different from Phuket.
Phuket Event Company plans Koh Samui weddings through our Bangkok and Phuket teams and our nationwide network of suppliers. If you are still comparing islands, read our destination wedding guide for Thailand or our Phuket wedding planner page.

Getting Married on Koh Samui: Season, Travel and Legal Steps
Best time
Koh Samui's driest months are roughly January to August, which helps when the Andaman coast (Phuket and Krabi) is in its wetter season. Weather can change, so we build a weather plan into every outdoor ceremony.
Getting there
Guests can fly to the island or take a ferry from the mainland. We coordinate airport and ferry transfers, hotel blocks and group logistics.
Legal steps
A ceremony on the beach is symbolic unless the marriage is registered at a Thai district office with the required embassy documents. Many couples register at home and hold the ceremony on Samui. See the legal requirements in our destination guide.
