In Brief
Among the wedding venues in north Bali, two properties publish a wedding offer. Puri Bagus Lovina is a beachfront resort at Pemaron, with a wedding and event page and an inquiry form. Menjangan Dynasty Resort is a beach glamping resort on Banyuwedang Bay in the north-west. Its events site names three venues: the Prema Beach Garden, the Pasir Putih Beach Club and a Wantilan pavilion.
Munduk Moding Plantation, in the highlands, lists weddings on its site but publishes no package, and has hosted Balinese wedding blessings. The Damai, a fifteen-villa resort in the hills above Lovina, publishes no wedding page but is the property to ask about a small buyout.
Prices are not printed here. The venues quote by date and headcount, and the links below go straight to them.

North Bali Gives a Wedding a Quiet Coast and an All-in-One Venue
The coast is quiet. The beaches from Pemaron to Kaliasem are black sand, quiet and mostly free of vendors. The resorts on them often have their stretch of sand to themselves.

The venues are all-in-one. Each property below has its own rooms, its own restaurant and its own grounds. The ceremony, the dinner and the guests' beds are in one place, which matters on an island where the traffic decides your timetable.
The settings are the north's own. You can marry on black sand on the Lovina side or on a white-sand bay inside West Bali National Park at Menjangan. Up at Munduk, the mist drifts through coffee trees.
The guests get a holiday. Dolphins at dawn, waterfalls inland, hot springs and the reef at Menjangan are all within reach of the venues on this page.
The Venues: Four Properties on the Coast and in the Highlands
Puri Bagus Lovina
What it says about itself: "A premier beachfront resort" on the north coast "with direct access to a pristine beach". It is built with alang-alang thatched roofs around the Balinese principle of Tri Hita Karana. Its rooms run from Deluxe Ocean View to a Two Bedroom Pool Villa.
On site are Jaya Spa, an ocean-facing yoga shala, and Saraswati Restaurant & Bar, serving international and Indonesian food. Its activities include dolphin watching, snorkelling, diving, dance performances and cooking classes.
Its wedding offer: a Wedding & Event page with an inquiry form that asks for your wedding type. The form mentions a reception with mocktails and healthy canapés or lunch. The same page covers retreat and meeting venues.
Where: Pemaron, on the beach at the Singaraja end of Lovina. Map
Ask them: ceremony spots on the beachfront lawn and by the pool, and how many rooms they can block for your guests. Check whether in-house coordination is included. Instagram: puribaguslovina.
Menjangan Dynasty Resort
What it says about itself: "A Beach Glamping and Dive Centre" on "16 hectares of land on a quiet peninsula beside a blissful white-sand beach". It looks across Banyuwedang Bay to the lowland forest of West Bali National Park and the island of Menjangan.
Rooms are "safari-style tented rooms and villas", with communal spaces in bamboo and alang-alang thatch. The resort has the Pasir Putih Beach Club & Bar for all-day dining, a dive centre and a spa.
Its wedding offer: its weddings page presents the Prema Beach Garden as "a breathtaking beachfront setting for your dream wedding". It names three venues, the Prema Beach Garden, the Pasir Putih Beach Club and the Wantilan multi-function room, with on-site accommodation for guests.
Its events page describes vows "on the infinity pool side lawn with a glorious view to the sea and mangrove-entwined coastline or on a blissful white-sand beach". The same page lists a wedding package with a published starting price and inclusions, from a celebrant's blessing to decoration, chairs, sound and flowers. Ask for the current version.
Where: Pejarakan, Gerokgak, about an hour and a half west of Lovina on the road to Gilimanuk. Contact details on its weddings page. Map
Ask them: which of the three venues suits your headcount, and the sunset timing on the beach with Menjangan in view. Ask too about diving or snorkelling for the guests the day after.
Menjangan Dynasty Resort on Instagram
Munduk Moding Plantation
What it says about itself: an "eco-luxury resort on a working coffee plantation", in the words of its Instagram. It has infinity pools "overlooking breathtaking panoramic views of the lush rainforest, distant mountains, and the Bali Sea". There is a spa, and dining runs "from authentic Balinese to Asian fusion and Western classic". Its own coffee is grown on the estate.
Its wedding offer: weddings are on the resort's site menu, but the wedding address currently opens a single photograph and no package. The photograph shows a couple in Balinese ceremonial dress in a wooden pavilion. Its Instagram has shown a Balinese wedding blessing held for a couple's twentieth anniversary. Write to the resort for what a ceremony there includes.
Where: Munduk, in the highlands above the north coast, about an hour from Lovina. Map
Ask them: the ceremony spot with the pool and the valley behind it, and how the afternoon mist behaves in your month. Ask about a Balinese blessing if you want one.

The Damai
What it says about itself: "A small resort with a big view, a great restaurant, and a special sense of calm". It has "just 15 villas, set in one of the most beautiful gardens in Bali", some with pools. Its restaurant serves "prize winning Balinese bistro cuisine" with vegetables from its own gardens. Its packages include one called Damai Romance, "for honeymoons or romantic getaways".
Its wedding offer: none published. With fifteen villas, it is a natural small buyout. Write to it if you want twenty-five people, one garden and one long table.
Where: Kayu Putih, in the hills above Lovina. Contact details on its own site. Map
Ask them: whether they take a full buyout for a ceremony, and what the restaurant can do for a wedding dinner.
Also Worth Asking: Zen Resort Bali
Zen Resort Bali, Ume Anyar, near Seririt, is an Ayurveda, yoga and wellness retreat with a pool over the sea. It publishes no wedding offer. If a ceremony inside a retreat week is what you want, ask. Map
Wedding Planners: Many Couples Bring One From the South
A planner on the ground saves you the vendor search and the paperwork. The north has few dedicated planners, so many couples bring one from the south.
Bali Top Wedding
What it says about itself: a licensed wedding planner and organiser based in Bali "since 2014", and a member of the Bali Wedding Association since 2016. It handles Indonesian and mixed-nationality weddings, with packages "from basic to customised". Its services cover the ceremony, reception, elopement and after-party.
Its site is in Indonesian and its portfolio is south and central Bali, so ask about the north before you book.
For more names, see wedding planners in north Bali. For a wedding under about forty guests, the in-house coordinator at Puri Bagus or Menjangan Dynasty may be all you need. For a team offsite, see corporate retreats in north Bali.
Guest Accommodation: Rooms at the Venue, Villas for the Overflow
Stay at the venue. Every property above has rooms, and the number they will block for you is the first question to ask.
Villas for families and groups. Palm Living's villas around Lovina take the overflow for a wedding at Puri Bagus or The Damai, and give the families a pool of their own.
Getting everyone here. The airport is three hours or more from Lovina by road. The routes are in getting to north Bali. Book group transport rather than letting guests find their own way.
Give it four days, because two days wastes the journey.
- Day 1: arrival and a welcome dinner
- Day 2: dolphins, waterfalls or the reef
- Day 3: the wedding
- Day 4: a slow morning and departure
Legal or Symbolic: Many Couples Marry at Home and Celebrate Here
Symbolic ceremonies carry no paperwork. You marry legally at home, before or after, and the ceremony in Bali is the celebration. Many destination couples do this.
Legal marriages in Indonesia are registered at the Civil Registry Office, which for this coast is in Singaraja. They need authenticated and translated documents from both parties, and religious ceremonies are matched to religion. Your planner handles it and gives you the current timeline.
Bali Top Wedding publishes its own guidance on legal weddings, in Indonesian. The full legal walk-through, step by step, is in north Bali elopement packages.
The simpler route: marry legally at home and hold the ceremony here.
Season: April to October Is the Safe Window
April to October is the dry season on the north coast and the safe window for an outdoor ceremony.
November and March are the shoulders, with afternoon showers and lower rates. Keep a covered plan.
December to February falls in the rainy season, which runs October to April (Bali provincial government). In Buleleng the rain peaks in February (Buleleng regency). The highland venues in particular get mud and cloud. Avoid those months for anything outdoors.
Timing: hold a morning ceremony for soft light and cool air. Time a sunset ceremony to the actual sunset on your date, which barely moves through the year this close to the equator. Check the date of Nyepi, the Balinese day of silence, when the island shuts.
Planning Timeline: Book the Venue 12 to 18 Months Out
- 12 to 18 months: book the venue, since prime dates go a year out. Book the planner and block rooms.
- 9 to 12 months: guest list, photographer, legal steps if marrying here, save-the-dates with travel notes.
- 6 to 9 months: menu tasting, decor and flowers, guest activities, airport transfers.
- 3 to 6 months: final numbers, vendor timelines, fittings, hair and make-up trials.
- 1 month: venue walkthrough, payments, wet-weather plan, guest itinerary.
- 1 week: arrive, meet the planner and venue, and stop working.
Budget: Compare Two or Three Venue Quotes
No figures are printed here. Each venue quotes by date, headcount and menu, and the numbers move. Write to two or three of the properties above with your real guest count and date, and compare like with like.
What usually sits outside a venue quote:
- photography and video
- guests' flights and rooms
- your own travel and honeymoon
- legal fees if you marry here
- any pre-wedding events
FAQ
