A non legal Religious Only Ceremony is popular with those couples wanting to declare their love and devotion to each other, having a religious component attached to their ceremony but without any of the legal implications attached to a legal wedding ceremony.

It is possible here in Bali for couples to partake in a religious only ceremony if they are of the Protestant (Christian), Catholic, Hindu and Buddhist religions with the ceremony officiated by the relevant religious body according to the couple’s religion.  Please note that it is not possible here in Bali for a Moslem Religious Only Ceremony and only possible to have a legal Moslem Wedding Ceremony.

As the ceremony is a non legal ceremony it will not interfere with those couples already undertaken a legal wedding ceremony or those couples choosing to have a legal wedding ceremony in the future.

If set text is not relevant to your chosen ceremony type, then we will be able to provide you with various types of text for you to select from for your ceremony, with you being able to make such changes as adding in your own poem, vow or ring exchange, should you wish to personalize your ceremony, making the ceremony quite special and memorable to the both of you.

The religious ceremony is officiated by a representative of the couples chosen religious ceremony type and consists of the reading of your chosen religious text (if a choice is available) with duration of approximately 15 – 30 minutes, depending on the religious ceremony that is chosen and its content.  Upon completion of the ceremony the minister will ask the groom, bride and 2 witnesses to come forward to sign their wedding certificate and as the ceremony is a not a legal ceremony then you are more than welcome to have family members act as your witnesses.

As many couples would like to experience the culture and spirituality of a Balinese Ceremony it is also possible to have your formal Religious Only Ceremony first and then have a Balinese Blessing afterwards which will provide you with some insight into the local customs and culture that many foreign couples do not get to experience.
