The 'Moonlit Wedding' is a unique twist on nuptials that transforms the Big Day into the Big Night: a lunar beach celebration in true Thai style, a reception that will have guests howling, not to mention unbeatable bragging rights for the discerning bride and groom seeking to stay ahead of the contemporary tropical beach wedding curve. Aleenta Hua Hin Resident Manager James Noble said Aleenta continued to push the envelope for tropical beach weddings by offering something that would appeal to romantics, night owls and couples looking to entrance their guests while elevating their wedding above the ordinary.
"Imagine the ambiance," Mr Noble said. "You make your way by chauffered car to the moonlit beaches of Pranburi and finally to Aleenta's slice of paradise at Paknampran Bay.
"As you glide into the resort, it's midnight at the oasis. Your guests are assembled, eyes sparkling, bubbly in hand. The moon works its ethereal magic and weaves its spell, glittering off the ocean as you say your vows, kiss, and watch confetti glitter in the night sky. When you add in Aleenta's renowned hospitality and service, a setting of utter privacy and luxury, pampered touches from our spa and smiles that sparkle in the glow of the moonlight, you have the makings of something very special and very unique."
Mr Noble said his team had spared no effort in devising something truly different. "The waxing and waning moons here are amazing, and that's what inspired the idea,'' he said. "We've come up with some lovely touches, like a candle-lit aisle under a star-studded canopy with 12 lanterns launched overhead as each guest holds a candle.
"Scorching your monograms in the sand to declare eternal love, and a hand-made loy kratong float created at our organic farm for each guest to launch out to sea along with their hopes and wishes for the lucky couple.
"Aleenta will serve up the ultimate wedding breakfast for night owls, served at sunrise with liquor coffees and bucks fizz. "Late supper, late late supper, or wedding breakfast: we will leave it up to each couple to decide."
After the vows and the feasting, the bride, groom and wedding party can repair to the beachfront luxury and comfort of their villa or suite, watching the sun rise shimmer in an infinity pool and welcoming the day with Aleenta's renowned 'Outside Living - In' design, surrounded by friends and family. Or lower the shades, cocoon, and retreat to your private universe.
Aleenta Hua Hin-Pranburi Resort and Spa was the first resort created by AHMS(AKARYN Hospitality Management Services), located on a pristine stretch of beach on serene Paknampran Bay just three hours from Bangkok. It unites tropical beachfront bliss with a warm, welcoming and utterly comfortable ambience that draws guests back time and again.
Organic cuisine is served at the newly opened The Cellar restaurant, which utilizes produce from the resort's 16-acre organic community farm, where locals can eat and pick for free in return for their time and effort to replant. Mr Noble and his team will create a special menu for your nocturnal banquet or dawn feast, which might include interpretive Thai cuisine from The Cellar's much-talked-about menu: Rose Apple Waldorf, Thai Scotch Egg, Pranburi Prawn Cocktail, Potted Shrimp & Rye, Fish & Hand Cut Chips, Butter de Pranburi Duck Fat Chips, and Chicken Saltimbocca, wilted greens and risotto Milanese, and more.
Aleenta Hua Hin can cater for private weddings for two up to large events with 120 people on the sand and excels at tailor-made weddings, with a track record of over a decade of making tropical beach wedding dreams come true.
The resort has a dedicated Wedding Planner and Events Manager and a team of 72 staff looking after each wedding, with the option of large parties taking over the entire resort, comprising 22 villas and guest rooms, all offering full sea views and absolute beachfront living, two restaurants and one bar and a rich roster of guest activities from organic farm visits to cooking classes to Aleenta Hua Hin's exclusive 'Gourmet Gliders' experience, which includes a thrilling paramotor flight over Pranburi to see the big picture on local sourcing of food and wine in action.
