Ceremony style
Phuket Vow Renewals
No legal process, no paperwork. A renewal is entirely a ceremony of your own design, which usually makes it shorter to plan and more personal to write.
Who it suits
- Couples marking an anniversary
- Couples who married privately and want a celebration with family
- Families travelling with children who take part in the ceremony
How the day is structured
- Welcome
- Renewals often begin informally, with guests already together earlier in the day.
- Ceremony
- 20 minutes. Readings, renewed vows, and often a role for children.
- Blessing
- Many couples include a Thai water blessing here; it suits a renewal well.
- Celebration
- Usually a long dinner rather than a formal reception.
Design considerations
- Renewals carry less formal styling than first weddings. Table design and lighting tend to matter more than ceremony structures.
- Family group photography is usually the priority rather than couple portraits.
Planning considerations
- No documents, registration or embassy steps are involved.
- If children are part of the ceremony, keep the ceremony under 20 minutes and schedule it earlier in the evening.
- Villas often work better than resorts for renewals because the group is together for several days.
Investment
What a wedding in this format costs depends on the guest count, the venue and the week you marry. Rather than publish a figure that cannot be true for everyone, the investment is shown to you as you design the wedding itself.
