Celebrations House
Weddings and celebrations in Koh Samui, arranged privately.
Destination weddings, rehearsal dinners, proposals and milestone dinners, with the guests and the days around them planned by one team.
What the Celebrations House arranges.
From a ceremony for two hundred on the lawn to a table for two on the sand.
The wedding, and the days around it.
Most couples arrive with the wedding day itself planned: the ceremony time, the dress, the first dance. We plan everything around it. The welcome drinks as guests land over two or three days, the rehearsal dinner where the two families meet, the long breakfast the morning after, and the yacht day for the guests who stay on. The whole week is set out in our guide to the days around a Koh Samui wedding.
For the ceremony, couples choose between a private villa and a resort. A villa holds the whole week in one place, with bedrooms for the immediate family and a kitchen a private chef can work in. A resort carries a larger day: at Centara Reserve Samui the ocean-view sala sits on a lawn that runs down to Chaweng Beach, the beach takes a smaller ceremony, and the garden lawn can be set for a few hundred. We work alongside the resort's own wedding team and take on everything at the edges.
Timing matters more than any other single decision. The island's wet season runs from October to December, and our guide to the best time to visit Koh Samui sets out the months we steer weddings towards.
Proposals, anniversaries and the birthday that matters.
A proposal or an anniversary rarely needs a crowd. We arrange a table on the sand or up on a rooftop, a private chef at the villa with linen, low candles and flowers cut that day, or a sunrise boat out of Bophut with breakfast waiting on the return.
For a milestone birthday we plan the evening as carefully as a wedding: the guest list, the table, the music and the cars home. If the occasion should stay a surprise, the whole plan stays with us until the moment it is needed.
Everyone arrives, and the couple greets people.
Wedding guests arrive over two or three days, often from London, Sydney, Hong Kong or Tel Aviv. We time the airport transfers to each flight, collect the dietary notes before the kitchen needs them, and book the overflow villas or resort rooms so the party feels joined up. Many guests route through Bangkok, and a night on the river at Siri Sala softens the long journey at either end. For guests flying from Britain, our guide to getting to Koh Samui from the UK covers the routes and timings.
The stays sit with our House of Stay, the transfers and the boats with our House of Travel, and the dinners with a private chef at the villa. For an occasion kept as a surprise, the Private Edit shares the plan at the pace you choose.
Centara Reserve, Koh Samui.
When the guest list runs long, we send couples to Centara Reserve Samui on the calmer stretch of Chaweng: an ocean-view sala, a palm-garden lawn and the beachfront, with an in-house wedding team we work alongside.
