Decoration

The decoration team arrives on site to set up the decor and prepare the floral arrangements. We start by installing structures such as the arch and the lighting.

In the shade, we prepare the floral arrangements, keeping them cool. We install them an hour before the ceremony to stop the flowers from wilting.

Rehearsal

A rehearsal is available for more ease during the ceremony, but can be skipped for a more natural, improvised approach.

• With the couple, bridesmaids and groomsmen present
• Fine-tuning positions and timing the entrance music
• Building confidence before the ceremony

Lunch

A light lunch is essential before a long afternoon and evening. The bride's preparation can begin at 1pm.

Bride preparation

The hair and make-up team, as well as the photo and video team, have arrived. The bride retreats to her room with her bridesmaids.

The photo team starts taking shots of the venue, the decoration and the details: rings, shoes, dress, suits…

Groom preparation

The groom and groomsmen need to be ready to welcome guests as they arrive. We will also be there to help welcome them.

Guests arrive

Guests arrive, either by their own means or through our taxi service. While waiting for the ceremony, we open the bar and serve refreshments.

Photos

5 to 10 minutes for hugs and congratulations from family and friends, then it's time for photos. First group photos with the couple in front of the arch, then the full group photo, and finally a few romantic shots of the couple during sunset.

Cocktail hour

We open the bar and cocktails, and the band or DJ starts playing. Guests raise a toast while we finish photos with the newlyweds. The couple then join the guests.

Dinner

Guests take their seats at the dinner venue. Service begins while the band continues to play.

• Entrance of the newlyweds — To music, sometimes with smoke effects or fireworks
• Speeches & toasts — Parents, witnesses or close friends
• Meal service — Usually 3 or 4 courses interspersed with entertainment
• Entertainment — Slideshows, games, surprises from the family

Wedding cake & first dance

• Wedding cake — Brought out to music with sparklers or Bengal lights
• Thank-you speech — The couple thank their guests and team
• First dance — To a chosen song, romantic or choreographed

Dance party

The DJ or band moves into increasingly festive music, mixing wedding classics, current hits and 80s/90s throwbacks.

• Photobooth and candy bar for guests
• The witnesses' dance
• Last-minute surprises (flash mob, fireworks, lantern release)
• The bouquet or garter toss

Closing

One last slow song brings the remaining guests together for a final dance. Our transport service takes guests back to their villas or hotels. Our staff packs away the decoration while the newlyweds either head to bed or continue the celebration together until morning.
