Our services include arranging full legal ceremony, religious
only, Balinese Blessing or even a Civil Ceremony.
1. FULL LEGAL CEREMONY
(Religious & Civil Ceremony)
You will
experience two types of ceremonies; the religious part will first be performed followed by a civil ceremony. The religious part will be
conducted by a representative of the couples own religious belief (i.e. a Priest for
Catholic, a Minister for Protestant, a Celebrant for Hindu and Buddhist and a Penghulu for
Moslem). They are also required to present a "Certificate of No Impediment" or
similar document ISSUED by their Consulate or
Embassy Representative WITHIN Indonesia for the Civil Ceremony.
Requirements to
obtain Certificate of No Impediment will be based on the couples nationalities. There will
be two certificates presented at the end of the ceremony, one from the Church and the
other, from the Civil Registrar.
2. RELIGIOUS ONLY CEREMONY
A Religious
Ceremony MUST be performed before a Civil Ceremony. Therefore for those who WOULD or HAS already been legally married
in their country but wish to exchange thei vows or even renew their vows may take this type of service. It
is important that Indonesia will marry any couple who hold one of the 5 religions
recognized by this country (Protestant, Catholic, Moslem, Hindu, Buddhism) and actually
prefer that the couple are of the same religious belief.
The Religious ceremony is performed by a representative of the couple's own religious
belief i.e.: Protestant couple may not have a Hindu ceremony.
3. BALINESE BLESSING CEREMONY
Many couples who
are ALREADY LEGALLY MARRIED or, for some reason don't wish to be legally married in Bali but do wish to experience a
Balinese Ceremony may experience a Balinese Blessing Ceremony.
It is important
to know that this is NOT a LEGAL wedding ceremony and NO certification will be presented
at the end
of it. It is a ceremony in which the Celebrant prays for good things such as safety, health & happiness for the
couple. Please be advised that it is not possible for any person who are not
genuinely of the Balinese Hindu faith to be married in the Balinese Hindu Style.
It takes
approximately 20 minutes in total, performed by a Balinese Celebrant and an assistant who
guide the couple through the ceremony. It is preferred that couples are dressed in
Balinese Costume.
4.
CIVIL CEREMONY This type of service could be a choice for couple who has been religiously married in their country. We will then require a
copy of marriage certificate issued by the representatives of their own religious belief,
as it is the Indonesian law to always perform a religious ceremony before the civil
ceremony. |
