What’s usually included?
Most elopement packages cover the celebrant, a simple set-up (an arch or flowers) and some photography. The bigger packages add transport, dinner or a night’s stay. Check what’s included before comparing prices, because a cheaper package often leaves out the photographer.
What costs extra?
- Flights and accommodation
- Hair and makeup
- Extra photography hours (one photographer charges about A$160, IDR 2M, per extra hour)
- Your legal paperwork at home
- A village (banjar) fee, only if you elope at a private villa, and often included in the villa price
Is a Bali elopement legal?
Not on its own. A Bali elopement is a symbolic ceremony. Most Australian couples sign the legal paperwork at home, before or after the trip. How the legal side works
Where can we elope in Bali?
Couples choose a waterfall, a clifftop overlooking the ocean, a rice terrace, a beach or a private villa. Public spots may need permission from the local village or site manager; ask your elopement provider what they arrange.
Should we elope or invite 20 guests?
An elopement costs about A$1,100–5,400. A typical 20-guest wedding costs about A$12,300. If you’re between the two, the calculator shows what changes as you add guests. Set 20 guests in the calculator
