Labuan Bajo wedding packages combine a venue, planning team, styling, catering and guest logistics into one coordinated booking, whether you marry at a beachfront resort or aboard a private phinisi in Komodo National Park. Most couples choose between three formats — an intimate elopement, a resort celebration, or a multi-day phinisi charter — and every package on this page can be tailored around your guest list, season and ceremony style.
Because Labuan Bajo is a small harbour town serving a national park, the package model matters more here than in Bali or Lombok: vendors, boats and permits all need to be sequenced by one team. Below is exactly what each package format includes, how honeymoon add-ons work, and how to start the booking conversation.
The Three Package Formats
| Package format | Best for | Typical duration | Core inclusions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intimate elopement | Couples alone or with up to 10 guests | 1 day | Celebrant, styling, flowers, photographer, sunset location, transfers |
| Resort wedding | 20–120 guests who want rooms, spa and pool in one place | 1–2 days | Venue hire, F&B, decor, sound, coordination, guest accommodation blocks |
| Phinisi charter wedding | Up to 22–28 overnight guests who want the park itself as the venue | 2–3 days | Full-boat charter, cabins, all meals, crew, ceremony setup on deck or beach, island stops |
If you have not chosen a setting yet, start with our guide to Labuan Bajo wedding venues — it compares resorts, boats, beaches and viewpoints side by side. Couples leaning toward the water should read the phinisi wedding charter guide before anything else, because boat availability is the first constraint in high season.
What Every Package Includes
- Dedicated planner — one point of contact from first enquiry to the send-off, coordinating every vendor locally.
- Ceremony design — arch or altar styling, fresh florals, seating, signage and a weather backup plan.
- Celebrant or officiant — symbolic ceremonies in any language; legal ceremonies arranged with the correct registrar (see the Indonesia marriage legality guide).
- Photography coordination — scheduling built around golden hour; see our wedding photographer guide.
- Guest logistics — airport pickups, hotel blocks, boat tenders and timing for island excursions.
- Permits and park compliance — ceremonies inside Komodo National Park require correct entry tickets and operator permits, which the package handles for you.
Signature Add-Ons
These are the upgrades couples request most often. All are optional and priced per event, since flower volumes, guest counts and boat positioning change every wedding.
- Padar sunset ceremony — vows on the famous three-bay viewpoint, detailed in our Padar Island sunset ceremony guide.
- Welcome dinner on the water — a pre-wedding evening cruise for your guests around the harbour islands.
- Honeymoon extension — stay on after the wedding: a private cabin week through the park, a Flores overland route, or a quiet resort finish. Our partners at Labuan Bajo Luxury curate the honeymoon itinerary itself so your extension is planned by trip specialists rather than bolted onto the wedding file.
- Guest excursion day — Komodo dragon trekking, Pink Beach snorkelling and Padar hiking for your group between the welcome dinner and the ceremony, operated with Komodo Luxury.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a Labuan Bajo wedding package?
A standard package includes the venue or boat, a dedicated planner, ceremony styling and florals, an officiant, catering, sound, photography coordination, guest transfers and all park permits. Accommodation is included on phinisi charters and arranged as room blocks for resort weddings.
How many guests can a Labuan Bajo wedding package host?
Elopement packages suit couples with up to 10 guests, resorts in Labuan Bajo comfortably host 20–120, and a private phinisi hosts up to 22–28 overnight guests depending on the vessel, with day guests joining by tender for the ceremony itself.
How far in advance should I book a wedding package?
Book 9–12 months ahead for a dry-season date (April–October), because the best boats and resort event lawns hold limited dates. Shoulder-season weddings can often be arranged within 4–6 months.
Can a package include a legal marriage, not just a symbolic one?
Yes. Legally binding marriages in Indonesia require a religious ceremony plus civil registration, and the package team sequences the paperwork with your embassy and the local registry. Many couples still choose a symbolic ceremony here and register at home — both paths are explained in our legality guide.
