Pre-Wedding Events at FINNS Beach Club
1. Engagement Party: Kick Things Off in Style
An amazing engagement party at FINNS is one of those unforgettable moments that really sends out the message that you’re getting married. Imagine your group sipping their welcome drink as the sun dips below the horizon over the Indian Ocean, as you congregate at the VIP Beach Club.
It’s a chic, open-air space, and the venue can ensure you have an unforgettable night on your event date with specific styling touches to suit your needs.
Set up a photo booth so that you can create lasting memories of the bride-to-be that you can treasure forever in married life.
Planning Tips:
- Select the venue – the VIP Beach Club is great for big groups of around 150 people, the bar areas offer a smaller, cozier vibe for a more intimate event. Our VIP Cabanas are great for a smaller group of up to 80 people, too.
- Choose your menu – signature handcrafted cocktails are always great, and mix up the Asian and international dishes for tasty moments on this special day
- Get the timing right – sunset is when the world looks best in Bali, don’t miss the golden hour glow
2. Buck’s And Hen’s Parties: Party Like There’s No Tomorrow
Or as the Americans might have it, a bachelor party and a bachelorette party. For the lady about to enjoy a destination wedding in Bali, imagine a private bartender mixing your martinis and then dancing with your friends to the tunes of a live DJ. For the gentleman, imagine a boys’ night in one of the elevated bar areas with epic views and tasty craft beers. You can tailor the space to suit the energy of your posse.
Planning Tips:
- Go bespoke with the FINNS event team – if you want an unforgettable experience, you can customise the decor and the menus
- Getting your booking in early – particularly if you’re coming during the peak season when FINNS is always packed
- Think about group size – 20 to 50 people tends to be about ideal to ensure you can all have fun together.
3. Rehearsal Dinner: Intimate Vibes Before the Big Day
A rehearsal dinner at FINNS Beach Club gives you the chance to bring your closest friends, family and wedding party together to enjoy an amazing evening before the main wedding experience.
FINNS’ chefs can create a delightful feast for you to enjoy with a choice of dishes from around the world. You can add your own touch, like speeches, or a slideshow of the best moments that you’ve had together. This is your chance for some intimate Balinese magic.
Planning Tips:
- Don’t go overboard – the guest list should be no more than 30-60 people; you want this to feel cozy, even if your Bali wedding has many more guests.
- Think about the setup – talk to the events team, ask for lanterns and tropical flowers or whatever else takes your fancy.
- Speeches – don’t go over the same ground as you will use at the wedding reception, after all, these people will all be at your Bali wedding too.
Post-Wedding Events at FINNS Beach Club
1. Post-Wedding Brunch: Chill and Chat
There’s nothing better than a post-wedding brunch to let you wind down after your wedding day. The Bali destination wedding is over, and it’s time to enjoy an open-air setting with your guests and relax.
Think a spread of tropical fruit platters, tasty Asian plates and tempting Western favourites, endless Mimosas and dips in the infinity pool.
Head to the garden area and enjoy our brand new upscale dining and dancing area with a relaxed, by-the-beach feel that lets everyone chat and swap stories about the best moments of your Bali wedding.
Planning Tips:
- Get the timing right – start the brunch at 11 a.m., give everyone time to sleep in before this welcome party after your destination wedding
- Menu – go for some brunch classics, but don’t be afraid to mix things up to add a touch of exoticism to the event
- Vibe – enjoy some mellow music and entertainment that keeps everything feeling laid back and chill, like the lush landscapes and tranquil setting of the island as a whole
2. Honeymoon Kickoff: Start Your Forever at FINNS
Why not kick off your honeymoon at FINNS? After all, you don’t have to flee the island immediately after your Bali wedding, right? You’re going to spend the rest of your lives together, right? So, why not bring some friends and let them shape the first part of your honeymoon. It’s the way to make lasting memories.
Book a nice private cabana and enjoy a romantic day together lounging out by the infinity pool, enjoy an amazing meal in one of the excellent restaurants and ease into your honeymoon at the world’s best beach club.
Planning Tips:
- Think add-ons – talk to the FINNS team about arranging additional add-ons like a photographer to ensure they get the best of your day on film
- Book your cabana early – you won’t believe how quickly the best spots at FINNS sell out, so don’t leave it until a couple of days before you want to go
- Mix it up – spend the day relaxing together and pampering each other, then enjoy a party in the evening
3. Anniversary Party: Celebrate Year One
Of course, when the anniversary of your Bali wedding comes around, you might want to come back to FINNS and where it all began.
Why not host an intimate dinner with some of your closest friends and family at one of our bars, or buy out the FINNS VIP Beach Club or FINNS Garden Party areas and go large?
You can rewatch your wedding videos on a big screen or share a cake-cutting moment. You could even renew your vows at sunset with the ocean as a backdrop.
Our event planners can add special touches to ensure that you have an amazing day.
Planning Tips:
- Think about your vibe – go with some romance with fairy lights and a custom cocktail menu
- Think about the guest list – are you going to keep this a small celebration or have the excitement of a huge event with all your loved ones and friends?
- Add some cultural experiences – Balinese clothing or a live dance performance can help give you the perfect blend of breathtaking views, party style and paradise island
Tips for Nailing Your Wedding Events at FINNS Beach Club
1. Work with FINNS’ Event Team
FINNS has a dedicated events team that knows how to transform your plans and vision into a concrete reality, where you have an unforgettable celebration that supports your Bali destination wedding.
From custom menus to themed decor, they will ensure you have a seamless and memorable experience whether you’re planning to hold your wedding reception, post-wedding celebrations, a have a heartfelt farewell brunch with guests before heading off on your honeymoon.
Make sure to reach out to the venue early and ensure that your dream wedding has the dates locked in, and don’t forget to ask about group discounts.
2. Timing is Everything
FINNS is an all-year-round venue, and the tropical climate and warm summer sun of Bali make it the perfect destination at any time of year.
But Bali has a peak season. It’s from June to August, there’s another mini-peak season between Christmas and New Year, too. So, make sure to book your unforgettable experience at FINNS early.
You may be able to arrange a Bali wedding at short notice, but unlike most wedding venues, FINNS is always in demand. So, start planning at least 6 and ideally 12 months out from the big day.
Remember that while the sunset at FINNS Beach Club may be spectacular, daytime brunches, pool parties, etc., can bring a whole different vibe to the celebrations around your upcoming nuptials.
3. Personalise It
FINNS loves to be flexible. This is your wedding trip of a lifetime, and FINNS is the ideal place for your pre- and post-wedding celebrations.
This special event only happens once. So, feel free to ask for personal touches like an unforgettable dining experience for your intimate gathering or custom signs, Balinese dance performances, or even a light show.
Your event can really stand out. In fact, if you want them to pick you up from your private villa, bring your guests to your casual gathering, arrange a photographer during cocktail hour, etc., then that can all be made to happen.
4. Budget Smart
FINNS offers packages for large groups. So, ask whether you can bundle multiple events to get the best deal. We think our prices are very reasonable to begin with, mind you.
5. Guest Experience
The FINNS team can help you work out an itinerary for your guests that includes more than the celebrations around your Bali destination wedding. They can also help with other areas around the event. Don’t be afraid to ask if they can assist with something.
