Turning your dream destination wedding into reality

Tower Club at Lebua, Bangkok launches its “Exceptional Wedding Package” Many brides-to-be dream of a destination wedding and the strong Australian dollar is translating those dreams into reality with a growing number of Australian couples eschewing local locations for somewhere exotic – with Thailand top of the wish list. Thailand is famous for its service and hospitality and the latest wedding offering from luxury boutique hotel group lebua Hotels & Resorts ensures loved-up couples can enjoy all the trappings of a glamorous tropical overseas wedding – without any of the heartache. Imagine entertaining your guests over a long weekend with plenty of time to enjoy the delectable Thai cuisine, to lounge by the pool and make the most of the endless summer, to sample the lively nightlife and to indulge in some discount designer shopping – not to mention the opportunity to combine your Bangkok city stay with an island escape. “The average Australian couple spends more than $35,000 on their wedding (IBISWorld 2012), and couples are discovering their budget stretches significantly further in Thailand than it does at home”, said CEO of lebua Hotels & Resorts, Mr Deepak Ohri.
