Marco & Sunee — A Layan Beach Wedding for Friends & Neighbours
Beach weddingLayan BeachSmall weddingFriends & neighbours
Marco and Sunee were already married when they came to us. What they had never had were their wedding pictures. On 17 December 2016, Unique Phuket set up a small ceremony on Layan Beach for our friends and neighbours, with Chaloem Ton Loysamut behind the camera and Toom's flowers on the sand — the pictures they had been waiting for.

The full film for this wedding lives on our YouTube channel, alongside every other beach wedding we have planned since 2012 — one of the six kinds of Phuket wedding ceremony we plan on the island.
A wedding for friends and neighbours
Marco and Sunee are close friends and neighbours of Unique Phuket, and this was their wedding day in the sense that mattered most to them — the ceremony, the flowers, and the photographs they had never had the first time round. They had been married previously without wedding pictures, and the day at Layan Beach was, quietly, about putting that right.
We were their wedding planner for the day. A small group of local friends came to Layan Beach with them; the setup was simple by design, the couple were the focus, and the rest of the day was arranged so nothing pulled attention away from the two of them on the sand.
The ceremony on Layan Beach
Layan Beach sits at the quiet northern end of Phuket's west coast, and by mid-afternoon in December the sand belongs largely to the wedding party that is on it. Toom's team from Phuket Flowers by Toom dressed the ceremony area, and Chaloem Ton Loysamut worked the couple and their friends through the pictures they had come for.
The photographs, in two batches
The last piece of the wedding was the delivery of the photographs. On 22 December 2016 the team sent Marco and Sunee their wedding pictures via WeTransfer, split into two batches so nothing from the day was left out. It is a small logistical note, but it matters here — the whole point of the wedding was that the pictures existed at all.
Our memorable day — let the pictures tell the story.
The line above was shared between the couple and the team on social media in the days after the ceremony. Marco and Sunee acknowledged Chaloem Ton Loysamut's work in preserving their day; we thanked them for their trust. That is the shape of this wedding: a couple we already knew well, a small ceremony on a beach we plan often, and a set of photographs finally in their hands.
What the record shows
Marco and Sunee's wedding is a good example of the smallest kind of day we plan on Layan Beach — a couple, a handful of friends, one photographer, one florist, and a ceremony arranged around the pictures the couple came for. There is nothing scaled up about it, and nothing missing from it. That is often exactly the wedding.

★★★★★5 / 5
11.11.25 was our wedding date and it rained all morning until Toom and her team arrived. Paul and Toom are the sweetest and made our wedding day very special. The process was very seamless and we didn’t have to worry about anything because they knew what they were doing and the imagination Toom has is incredible. She surprised us with a flower tower (sorry Paul!! Hahaha) after we exceeded our budget and the villa looked stunning.…

Still forming the question
Talk to Paul & Supparin first.
If a date, a ceremony shape, a venue or the paperwork is not yet clear, please start with a conversation rather than a formal brief. Paul and Supparin reply personally, in plain language, and will tell you what we honestly think before anything else.
Before you enquire
What planning a wedding with us actually looks like.
A wedding on Phuket is a small number of decisions made carefully, not a long checklist completed in a hurry. This page is our quiet brief on how we work with couples — so you can decide whether the rhythm suits you before any commitment is asked of either side.
What happens after you write
02
Paul or Supparin reply within a working day
Usually within one Phuket working day. The reply is a considered note, not a brochure — what is achievable on your date, where it should sit on the island, and the two or three concrete next steps.
03
We hold a call when it helps
Many couples prefer a short video call before committing. It is the fastest way to test whether we are the right fit, and to talk through venue, season and the practical brief.
04
A written quote, line by line
When the brief is clear we issue a written quote — every supplier named, every line itemised, every assumption stated. You can change any line before you sign.
How Paul & Supparin work
Two planners, every wedding.
Paul leads the planning conversation, writes the quote, officiates the ceremony, and is the on-the-day point of contact for the couple. Supparin (Toom) leads the in-house floral and styling work, runs the installation, and is the on-the-day point of contact for the venue and the suppliers.
Communication is by email and short calls — calm, responsive, and in English. We do not work to a sales script and we will not pressure a date. Couples who choose to plan with us almost always do so after a considered conversation, not on a first reply.
Planning here is unhurried by design. The wedding is one day; the months before it are a relationship.
Planning from overseas
A planning team used to planning across time zones.
Most couples we plan with live in another country and arrive in Phuket close to the wedding date. Fifteen years of doing this means the rhythm is unhurried for you — we site-visit on your behalf, share photographs and short films, hold calls at sensible hours, and carry the local logistics so you do not have to.
Where a site visit is possible, it is welcome but never required. Couples who arrive only a few days before the wedding are met, briefed in person, and walked through the day before we run it.
Asked often, answered briefly
When should we start planning?
Twelve months is comfortable for a villa or resort wedding. Six months is enough for an elopement or a beach ceremony. Shorter is sometimes possible — please ask before assuming it is not.
Do you only plan large weddings?
No. Elopements and small beach ceremonies are a meaningful part of what we do. The two of you on a quiet beach is taken as seriously as eighty guests at a villa.
Will Paul or Supparin be there on the day?
Yes. Paul officiates the ceremonies, Supparin leads the floral and styling install, and one of them is the on-the-day point of contact. The wedding is not handed off.
Are we tied to specific venues or suppliers?
No. We recommend venues and suppliers we know personally and will tell you honestly where they suit you and where they do not. If you arrive with a venue in mind, we will plan around it.
