When we decided on Taman Ahimsa and all of our vendors, I scoured the internet for reviews and photographs. Now that it’s a year later, the villa is becoming a more popular wedding venue (they had 5 other weddings in September after ours). The trickiest part was communicating with the staff with day-of meals, transportation, and charges. Most of it was verbal and some was via e-mail so there were inevitably a couple mix-ups, like the masseuses who showed up on the wrong day.

However, Bali is home to the nicest, most hospitable people and the villa staff was so accommodating. They quickly remedied any mistakes without extra charges and graciously went above and beyond to help with bartending at our Welcome Lunch, constantly cleaning our rooms and common areas, and setting up a beachfront BBQ on our last night. We were so spoiled and it was the absolute best send-off.
