NIKKO BALI LAUNCHES WEDDING CHAPEL MASTERPIECE

Nusa Dua – Bali, October 2006… Nikko Bali Resort & Spa recently hosted an afternoon cocktail reception for travel agents, media partners and local wedding organizers to celebrate the launch of the WIWAHA Wedding Chapel and Shamita Reception Complex. Elevated over the crystal waters of the Indian Ocean, WIWAHA is a stunning split-level glass structure that stands as a dedication to the spirit of love and commitment.

Invited guests gathered on the afternoon of the Balinese full moon for the official unveiling of WIWAHA, where Nikko Bali’s General Manager, Mr. Thierry Joho, together with Mr. Kiichi Ono, the Generalization Director of TUTU Wedding Organizer from Japan, cut the flower ribbon to the chapel that was shrouded by a white curtain. A stylish wedding demonstration was then staged with bridal party models performing a slow walk along the garden pathway. They were followed by a young boy bearing a ceremonial umbrella and a group of traditional Balinese flute players. The bridal procession was showered with fragrant flower petals as they made their way to the chapel that was decorated in exquisite floral arrangements where a priest awaited them. Enchanting violin music set the mood for the occasion.

WIWAHA is an ancient Sanskrit word for the kings wedding. This exquisite venue is positioned on the edge of a peaceful cliff top to capture sweeping ocean views, the ambience of the tropics. Making a bold statement in contemporary Balinese design, the understated elegance of WIWAHA ensures that every wedding celebration is a day of treasured memories that will last a lifetime.

Directly beneath the chapel is a sleek glass-enclosed reception area that accommodates up to 50 wedding guests for a standing party and an outdoor grassed terrace that is the perfect setting for twilight cocktails or a more formal seated dinner. Couples choosing to take their vows of matrimony at WIWAHA also have exclusive use of the Rama and Sita suites for dressing and make-up, as well the Jatayu break-out suites for family members to wait in prior to the ceremony.

Fulfilling precious wedding day dreams, WIWAHA is complemented by other facilities available at Nikko Bali such as Japanese, Chinese, Seafood and International dining venues and a Spa offering full healing and beauty treatments. A professional wedding organizer is also on hand to oversee all pre-wedding arrangements such as service legalities, flowers, decorations, photography, music and catering. WIWAHA is the jewel in Nikko Bali’s crown for personalized weddings where every event is tailored to anticipate individual tastes and desires.
