Villa weddingNatai BeachVilla Tievoli

Plan one of your own
We plan villa weddings like this one on Phuket — quietly, in person, with the same team you meet here. It is one of the six kinds of Phuket wedding ceremony we plan on the island.
Planning across the distance, 2018
From the early stages of their planning journey in 2018, Samantha and Saharat worked closely with the Unique Phuket team, bridging the distance between their home and Phuket through diligent communication to ensure every detail for their 18 January 2019 destination wedding was perfectly aligned.
The welcome party and a family tea ceremony
The festivities began before the main event, with a welcome party at the Hot Springs Resort — a relaxed and communal setting for guests to connect. For the couple, honouring their heritage was a priority, and the celebration included a traditional tea ceremony for family that set a poignant tone for the day ahead.
A blush, peach and white ceremony at 5:00 PM
On the wedding day, the atmosphere at Villa Tievoli was transformed into a vision of blush pink, peach and white. By 5:00 PM everything was in place for the ceremony, which took place on a custom wooden platform set on the beachfront lawn — a striking, intimate backdrop as the couple exchanged their vows.
A four-course plated Thai menu at 7:15 PM
As the evening transitioned to the reception dinner at 7:15 PM, the focus shifted to a refined dining experience. Moving away from a standard family-style meal, the couple chose a sophisticated four-course plated Thai menu, ensuring a seamless and elegant service for their sixty guests. The reception area was bathed in warm fairy lights, creating a space that flowed naturally into the dance floor.
Live vocals on the first dance, and a fire fountain finale
The celebration was deeply personal, highlighted by a special moment during the first dance when a close friend of the couple provided live vocals backed by a track. As the evening hit its stride, the festivities moved toward a vibrant finale — since traditional fireworks are restricted in the area, the couple opted for an impressive electronic fire fountain on the stage, a spectacular conclusion before guests hit the dance floor.
Looking back
The success of Samantha and Saharat's wedding was a testament to the partnership between the couple and their planning team. By meticulously handling everything from the guest transport shuttles to the specific placement of the altar flowers, the planners ensured that the couple could focus entirely on their day — a beautiful, stress-free celebration that brought their loved ones together in a truly memorable setting.

★★★★★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.
