Perched on Koh Samui’s sun-kissed shores, The Lamai Samui offers a unique trio of venues for breathtaking weddings in Koh Samui that turn “I do” into “I do, spectacularly”. From an ocean floating pier that flirts with the horizon to a chic poolside deck and an elegant dining space with panoramic views, each setting promises its own brand of matrimonial magic. As we explore these enchanting venues, you will see how The Lamai Samui does not just host weddings – it crafts unforgettable moments. After all, in the theater of love, the stage can be as captivating as the performance itself. So, let us raise the curtain on these three stellar venues, each poised to play a starring role in your happily ever after.
Ocean Pier Weddings: A Dream Come True
Imagine exchanging vows while seemingly suspended between sea and sky on The Lamai Samui’s iconic 120-meter-long Ocean Pier. This floating marvel stretches into the shimmering waters of Lamai Beach, offering an intimate, private setting that makes couples feel as if they are walking on water.
The Ocean Pier Wedding Package, priced at THB 135,000++ for up to 60 guests, includes:
- Pre-Wedding: Personalised planning meeting and welcome drinks.
- Ceremony: Non-celebrant officiant, elegant seating, and lush floral décor including an arch, stands, bridal bouquet, and groom’s corsage.
- Reception: Floral centerpieces, a photogenic wedding cake, and romantic honeymoon setup.
- Extras: Relaxing aroma oil massage and in-house music to set the mood.
As the sun sets, casting a warm glow across the water, you will realise this is not just a venue – it is the starting point of your greatest adventure.
After all, how many can say they began married life walking on water?
Ocean Pier Dinner Celebrations: Under the Stars
As day melts into night, The Lamai Samui’s Ocean Pier transforms into an enchanting dinner venue, offering a truly unique experience for newlyweds and their guests. This floating wonderland can accommodate up to 100 guests for receptions, with two elegant setup options to choose from:
- Banquet Round Tables: Perfect for intimate conversations, seating up to 36 guests.
- King’s Long Table: A regal option for up to 42 guests, creating a sense of grand unity.
While the gentle lapping of waves provides a soothing backdrop, we recommend enhancing the ambiance with live music. Picture a string quartet or acoustic guitarist serenading you as you dine under the stars.
Speaking of dining, the Ocean Pier’s unique setting calls for a specially curated set dinner menu. Buffets, while delightful, are not quite suited to this over-water venue. Instead, our chefs craft exquisite plated meals that complement the magical setting.
The Pool Deck: A Chic Poolside Celebration
Picture yourselves saying “I do” as the sun kisses the horizon, or dancing under the stars with the ocean as your backdrop. The Lamai Samui’s Pool Deck offers this alfresco elegance, masterfully blending tranquility and sophistication.
This versatile space accommodates intimate gatherings with two setup options:
- Banquet Round Tables: Up to 36 guests
- King’s Long Table: Up to 42 guests
To enhance your celebration, live music can be arranged near the Pool Bar, creating a seamless flow from ceremony to reception. For dining, we recommend a buffet with live cooking stations, offering a dynamic culinary experience that matches the vibrant atmosphere.
The Pool Deck: Traditional Thai Ceremony
Our pool deck offers a stunning setting for both elegant Western weddings and authentic Thai traditional ceremonies. Celebrate your love with a traditional Thai wedding enriched by sacred Buddhist blessings and cherished rituals.
The ceremony includes a blessing performed by five monks, complete with offerings of food and donations, a beautifully arranged altar table with a Buddha statue, and symbolic elements such as the holy thread uniting the couple. Every detail, from the transportation of monks to the presence of a dedicated wedding planner, is carefully arranged to ensure a deeply spiritual and unforgettable celebration.
Embrace the vibrant spirit of Thai culture with a lively long drum procession, followed by the sacred water-pouring ritual using intricately prepared floral trays. Exquisite floral arrangements add to the charm, including a wedding corsage for the groom and ornate garlands exchanged by the bride and groom.
The Plate: Modern Elegance with Ocean Views
The Plate at The Lamai Samui offers a contemporary twist on wedding venues, blending sleek design with breathtaking ocean vistas. Its open-plan layout seamlessly merges indoor comfort with outdoor allure, while an upper-level gallery provides stunning views of the pool and sea.
Seating options cater to various preferences:
- L Shape: Up to 40 guests
- King’s Long Table: Up to 60 guests
Enhancing the sophisticated ambiance, live music can be arranged near the Pool Bar. For dining, we recommend a buffet with live cooking stations, adding a dynamic culinary element to your celebration.
The Plate is not just a venue; it is where modern chic meets tropical paradise. It is the perfect backdrop for couples seeking a wedding that is as stylish as it is memorable, serving up elegance with a side of ocean breeze.
