Enchanting Destination Weddings in Mae Rim Valley at Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai

The magic of romance has long been associated with the beauty of nature - bountiful flowers, stunning scenery, and a generous tropical setting. "When a celebration is on the cards, couples are drawn towards a blissful environment, where pleasing aesthetics create an atmosphere of enchantment and exclusivity," observes Pimsupang Busapapong, Conference Services and Sales Manager. Cradled in the "land of a million rice fields" and overlooking the misty peaks of Doi Suthep, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai offers an almost irresistible mix of magic and magnificence. Just a short drive north of Chiang Mai's vibrant city centre, the Mae Rim valley feels far removed from the urban design, giving guests an experience of a truly Thai countryside retreat. "Here, the principles of Feng Shui and the aura of nature envelop you immediately as you enter the Resort," shares Pimsupang. "Limitless vistas of green extend all the way to the horizon, where the landscape gives way, dramatically, to the mountains just beyond."

Beautiful Venues, Bountiful Celebrations

The Resort's team of wedding specialists and event planners are committed to creating idyllic settings and arrangements for celebrations of any kind. Whether it is an intimate ring ceremony, a more lavish matrimonial affair, or a grand gala dinner, every celebration is personalised to the last detail. From the initial planning to details of decor and menu selection, the team works closely with the couple and the families to deliver their vision in all its finery. "The traditional lotus pond framed by this mountainous backdrop is suggestive of lasting prosperity and infinite positive energy for any event held at this locale," says Pimsupang, commenting on the choice of venue at the Resort. The Resort's expansive Cocktail Lawn is the obvious choice for a larger celebration, where up to 200 guests can be accommodated in a spectacular open-air setting. "Couples looking for a more exclusive experience tend to prefer the Rice Barn with its immaculate views over the rice-paddies. Dressed to perfection with floral tributes at every table, the Insta-worthy decorative elements make this celebration a dream come true.

Exotic and Exquisite

Alternatively, for those seeking something even more exquisite, the Resort's Orchid Lawn offers the ultimate expression of tropical bliss and harmony. Pimsupang shares why this is her preferred venue for grand celebrations: "Awash with the vibrant colours of countless orchids and exotic flowers, this expansive lawn provides a stunning setting for special occasions." Nestled in a secluded part of the Resort and connected to the residences, the Orchid Lawn offers an enchanting, private atmosphere - perfect for creating lifelong memories in a fairytale-like setting. Together with the two Residence Villas that are adjacent, even a large wedding can feel intimate at this stunning venue.

The Resort boasts some equally stunning indoor spaces such as the Kasalong Pavilion, and the splendid Rachawadee Residence, both with expansive hall seating and fabulous vistas looking out over the Resort's gardens. Across the rice paddies, the lower pool-deck doubles up as an event space where cocktail evenings under a starry sky can be quite outstanding.

Stunning Themes

The Resort's wedding packages are designed to make the day unforgettable. "The flowers and cake, venue and decorations - we take care of it all, guided by your cherished wedding traditions and, when desired, local Thai traditions and blessings," shares Pimsupang. From pledging a commitment to each other in one of two traditional Thai wedding styles - a Lanna Bai Sri ceremony or a Thai water blessing -  to a memorable sunset soiree, there's so much magic waiting to happen here in Chiang Mai's haven of wellbeing. "The One with Nature wedding ceremony package takes our sustainability efforts to the forefront, with an eco-friendly decor and sustainable menus that make a truly meaningful connection with nature," suggests the Resort's expert Conference Services and Sales Manager. In line with its commitment to sustainability, the Resort minimizes the environmental impact with thoughtfully-curated decoration that emphasizes reusability and conscious choices. "We use dried flowers that can be enjoyed long after the event, reducing waste," she explains. "Whole fruits used in the decor turn into meaningful keepsakes, while zero waste menus reflect our dedication to creating beautiful experiences that leave a gentle footprint on the planet while making a big impact on the attendees."

Memories of a Lifetime

Newlyweds will appreciate that the Resort's wedding planning includes comprehensive packages where special honeymoon-night dinners and romantic spa-treatments are seamlessly woven into the overall itinerary. As far as dining goes, every element of the meal can be customised to suit the couple and their families' specific preferences. "Our team of chef's have every resource available to them to create a feast for any occasion and will go out on a limb to create an exclusive menu just for your special day," smiles Pimsupang. "Just close your eyes and dream of that perfect tropical wedding. We will make it happen just the way you imagined it!"
