A Romantic Beachfront Solemnisation

Sherry Ang and Hardie Widarma held a luxurious solemnisation and dinner at a breathtaking clifftop venue at the Ritz Carlton Nusa Dua in Bali, Indonesia. She tells us:

"The entire experience meant everything to us. It marked a new beginning of our life together. It was challenging to plan as we're both from different countries and has had destination celebrations with over 400 guests, including elderly relatives. Our glamorous and whimsical celebrations were spread over two cities. We had the traditional gatecrashing and tea ceremonies, as well as lunch reception in our new home in Jakarta in Indonesia.

Ten days later, we held the solemnisation and dinner at the beachfront chapel and clifftop venue in Ritz Carlton Nusa Dua in Bali. The most memorable moment was when guests release 400 LED balloons as a symbolic gesture of their blessing of our union. The smiles on all their faces were beautiful. We ended the dinner with fireworks and an after-party in an open space overlooking the sea.

We love every picture taken. In fact, it was very difficult to choose the ones we loved most as the photographer caught every detail, including our emotions, and gave us beautiful results. We felt like stars for the day!"
