Kailey & Daniel — A Spreadsheet-Precise Villa Aye Wedding
Villa weddingVilla AyeKamala
Kailey and Daniel booked with us in 2017 for a 4 May 2018 wedding at Villa Aye in the Kamala hills. From Australia they ran the planning as a shared project — one working spreadsheet, fifty guests, exact dietary and hair-and-makeup schedules — and on the day we held the choreography together from villa setup to the last dance.

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.
The planning phase — a spreadsheet partnership
From the first booking emails in 2017 the planning ran as a shared project between Kailey in Australia and Paul and Supparin in Phuket. Kailey came in already involved in the design and logistical detail, and the conversation stayed warm and professional the whole way through.
A living wedding spreadsheet became the heartbeat of the coordination. It tracked the hair-and-makeup schedule for the bridal party, the exact dietary needs across fifty guests, the printing Kailey was managing from Australia (name cards, menus), and her hair-and-makeup trial at Lisa's studio in Phuket. Nothing was left to memory.
Kailey and her bridesmaids, dressed and ready before the transfer up to Villa Aye — bouquets built to match the spreadsheet-precise palette.
Navigating the late-stage details
As the date closed in we worked through the honest, ordinary friction of a wedding of this size: table shapes (oblong versus circular), a moving guest count, and a balloon release that had to be cancelled on advice. Budget anxiety surfaced in the final days and Daniel wrote to us plainly — "Sorry for all the inconvenience and we appreciate you understanding, we just want it all to be an amazing day."
We answered the same day, walked the spreadsheet line by line to settle the numbers, and put the balloon release back on us as a small gesture to take the pressure off. That is the job — not to argue the couple out of a worry, but to make the worry smaller and get everyone back to looking forward to the wedding.
The wedding day — 4 May 2018 at Villa Aye
The day at Villa Aye was the sum of every earlier spreadsheet row. Hair and makeup ran in parallel — guests at the Marriott, bridal party at the villa — and Supparin held the two schedules in step. The couple's requested baby-elephant photoshoot slotted in on time; the villa's construction works were mapped around so guests never saw them; high chairs were in place for the youngest guests before their parents thought to ask.
The Villa Aye ceremony lawn on the afternoon of 4 May 2018 — fairy lights over the aisle, chairs dressed for fifty guests, the pool and Andaman Sea beyond.
By the evening the schedule had done its work and the day belonged to the couple and their guests. Dinner ran under the villa's sala, speeches settled into candlelight, and the celebration kept its own pace until close.
A quiet moment during the speeches — white orchid centrepieces and candlelight through the reception.
After the wedding
Kailey wrote to us as soon as the photographs landed — "Thank you so much – the photos are so amazing – we are very happy!" The full-length film followed and closed the project the way it had run all along: a proactive couple, a planner ready to execute, and a day in Phuket that arrived exactly as they had built it on paper.

★★★★★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.
