No-one expresses it better than the Beach Boys:
…get there fast then
…take it slow
Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in Kokomo

We had the most beautiful ceremony to celebrate our wedding,
with friends who flew in from all around the world to celebrate with us. Not only was the ko-ko-mo team amazing, and everything ran so smoothly, but we were all totally wowed by the accommodation. We booked out the whole resort and their neighbouring sister properties and the different options were awe-inspiring!
We loved all the accommodation choices.
Spending 4 days with all our close family and friends in such an incredible hotel, before long we just felt at home, and no-one wanted to leave!
The wedding itself was pure magic! Our arch was done in the traditional style and we were on the lawn in front of the beach and beside the pool. Our photos say it all…My wife was brought to the ‘alter’ by a traditional boat, and she was delivered to the end of the jetty, and I watched her walk down the jetty aisle with her father. It’s around 200m and was the most beautiful wedding walk I’ve ever seen, lined with fairy lights.
All the entertainment that was organised was beautiful and details like guest names carved into stone, and the guest gifts were traditional and amazing. My wife’s mother said that the flower arrangements were amongst the best she’d seen in a wedding. After the service, we went by traditional boat to a deserted island together with a bottle of champagne and the photographer and have such beautiful photos and memories of that moment.
And the food… what can I say? It was perfect!
I highly recommend talking to the ko-k-mo crew for your wedding arrangements. And the island is a magical place to have a wedding!

Yes – tourists can legally marry in Indonesia, provided they meet the requirements. You’ll need a Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) from your embassy, along with legalized and translated documents (such as birth certificates or divorce papers if applicable). Indonesian law also requires both partners to share the same officially recognized religion.
Your marriage must include both a religious ceremony and civil registration (except for Muslims, where the religious ceremony at the Office of Religious Affairs is sufficient). Once completed, your marriage is fully legal in Indonesia and usually recognized internationally.
👉 Alternatively, many couples choose to make their marriage official in their home country first, then hold a symbolic ceremony in Indonesia. This option is simpler, avoids paperwork, and still gives you the dream island wedding experience.
