Initial Consultation & Vision Planning

Every dream wedding starts with understanding your vision. In our first consultation (via video call or in person), we listen to your love story, preferences, and must-haves. Are you picturing a chic seaside ceremony or a traditional Thai temple blessing? What are your style inspirations and priorities? We’ll discuss your ideas, budget, and timeline in detail. Based on this, our planners provide creative input and local insight – suggesting unique touches or locations you may not know about. Together, we’ll develop a bespoke wedding concept that reflects who you are as a couple. From this initial planning stage, you’ll receive a clear roadmap and proposal, so you know exactly what to expect.

Venue Scouting & Selection

Thailand offers an array of jaw-dropping venues, and we’ll help you find “the one.” Thanks to our on-the-ground presence, we can scout and shortlist the perfect venues that meet your criteria. Whether you want a beachfront resort in Phuket, a cliffside villa in Krabi, a private island hideaway, or a luxury hotel in Bangkok, we have you covered. We’ll provide photos, videos, and detailed descriptions of venue options, and arrange virtual or in-person tours. Importantly, we negotiate with venues on your behalf to secure the best packages and reserve your dates. With Explera DMC, you’ll have access to exclusive locations and vetted Thailand wedding venues that guarantee a stunning setting and top-notch service on your big day.

Exquisite Décor & Theme Design

Transforming a beautiful venue into your dream wedding scene is our specialty. Our design team works with you to create a cohesive theme, décor, and floral design plan that matches your vision – be it a romantic tropical boho look, elegant black-tie affair, or a culturally infused motif. We coordinate with skilled florists and decorators to bring in lush floral arrangements, gorgeous ceremony arches, lighting effects, stylish furniture, and custom props that reflect your personality. Every detail – from the color palette and table settings to the wedding stationery and signage – is thoughtfully curated. We can incorporate local Thai elements (like orchid garlands or traditional lanterns) or source specific international décor items if you have something special in mind. The result is an ambiance that wows your guests and creates the perfect atmosphere for your celebration.

Catering & Entertainment

Delight your guests with an unforgettable feast and fun entertainment! Explera DMC will arrange catering that tantalizes taste buds – whether you desire gourmet Thai cuisine, a Western formal dinner, or a fusion menu. We partner with top chefs and caterers who can deliver everything from elegant plated dinners to lively Thai-style buffets or beachside barbecues. Vegetarian, vegan, halal, kosher or any dietary requests are easily accommodated. To elevate the celebration, we’ll line up entertainment to keep the party spirited. Imagine a live band or DJ playing your favorite songs, traditional Thai dancers or drummers performing during cocktail hour, or even a fireworks display over the ocean as you cut the cake. We handle all vendor bookings and logistics for music, performances, sound and lighting systems, ensuring a seamless show. With the right food and entertainment, your wedding will be as enjoyable as it is beautiful.

Guest Travel Management

One of the trickiest parts of a destination wedding can be managing your guests’ travel and comfort. Here’s where our DMC expertise truly shines. Explera DMC coordinates all guest arrangements so that everyone’s trip is smooth and enjoyable. We can help secure group rates and bookings for flights, airport transfers, and hotel accommodations near your venue. Our team will provide your guests with essential information on travel visas, local customs, and what to pack for Thailand’s climate. Need a group itinerary for pre- or post-wedding activities? We’ll happily organize island tours, shopping excursions, or spa days for your friends and family. Throughout their stay, your guests will have access to our local support line for any assistance. By entrusting us with guest management, you ensure your loved ones are well taken care of – leaving them free to relax and share this special experience with you.

On-the-Day Coordination

When the big day arrives, you’ll want to savor every moment – not worry about schedules or vendors. Our wedding day coordination team makes sure everything runs like clockwork. We create a detailed timeline for the day and confirm all arrangements with vendors (photographers, officiant, band, etc.) in advance. From the early hours of hair and makeup to the last dance at your reception, our coordinators will be on-site to manage every detail. We oversee venue setup, cue the music and ceremony processional, ensure the dinner is served on time, and handle any unexpected hiccups swiftly and discreetly. If any last-minute changes arise (like weather shifts or timing adjustments), we’ll coordinate solutions on the fly so you don’t have to stress. Consider us your backstage crew, orchestrating the flow so you, as the couple, can be fully present and enjoy your wedding day. With Explera managing the day-of details, you can truly be guests at your own wedding, soaking in each unforgettable moment.

Post-Wedding & Honeymoon Services

Our commitment to you doesn’t end when the wedding does. We extend our services to assist with any post-wedding needs as well. This can include coordinating a next-day brunch or a farewell dinner for guests, so you can spend more quality time with loved ones after the big day. We can arrange excursions for guests who stay longer, like a group snorkelling trip or a cultural city tour, to cap off their trip. For you, the newlyweds, we’re delighted to help plan an incredible honeymoon in Thailand (or elsewhere in Asia) – leveraging our travel expertise to arrange romantic resorts, inter-island flights, or private tours. Additionally, we assist with practical follow-ups: ensuring you receive your professional photos and videos on time, helping with thank-you notes or gift deliveries, and confirming all final payments with vendors are settled. Our goal is to make sure the transition after your wedding is just as smooth as everything leading up to it. You’ll head home with beautiful memories, while we handle any remaining details.
By offering these end-to-end services, Explera DMC truly provides full-service wedding planning. We’re by your side from the first day of planning until you’re off to your honeymoon and beyond. Nothing is left to chance, and no request is too big or small – our team’s dedication and personal touch ensure your Thailand destination wedding is flawless from start to finish.
