EXCELLENT Based on 72 reviews Posted on Carmina ErfeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most incredible experience working with Avavi Bali for our destination wedding in Bali! Having never been to Bali or even seen our venue in person, I was initially nervous about planning everything from afar but Elisabeth, Dhony, and their whole team made the entire process feel effortless. From the start, they recommended amazing vendors, guided us through every detail, and kept everything organized with a clear, easy-to-follow timeline. They also helped coordinate our welcome party! Basically anything you need they will make happen for you! đđť On the wedding day itself, the Avavi team exceeded all of my expectations and honestly impressed me, our bridal party, and family! There was an entire crew making sure everything was running smoothly. It was more than I could have hoped for đ I canât thank Avavi enough for bringing our dream wedding to life. If youâre planning a destination wedding (especially from overseas!), I couldnât recommend them more highly! Thank you!!! â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸Posted on SunnyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hiring Liz & her team was hands down THE BEST decision we made for our wedding. Their work is seriously impressive! We had our wedding in August 2025 and we worked with Liz virtually from Canada. From the very beginning when we first met Liz over Zoom, she impressed us. Her demeanour oozed confidence, & tenure (14+ years of wedding planning experience!). Her organised folders & spreadsheets and the way she answered my questions calmed the anxious bride in me. We had also met with 1 other bali wedding planner when doing our research and although their rate was cheaper, I wanted to make sure I had a good wedding planning experience so we ended up going with Liz (and thank goodness we did!!!! Once again, hands down the best decision we made.) During the wedding planning process, Liz was super responsive, responding way faster than I expected her to over Whatsapp and she always made time for us when we wanted to call over Zoom. We asked a lot of questions at each stage in the process and I was honestly very indecisive at times but Liz was always very patient with us, answered our questions comprehensively and gave her recommendations to us without being too pushy. Her recommendations are honestly also all THE BEST. Looking back now, my partner and I spent so much time comparing vendors, researching XYZ, being indecisive - but in the end, we just ended up going with Liz's recommendation for everything and it turned out amazingly. The wedding also came in within budget in the end which surprised us so much, but we were very happy. Regarding the actual wedding itself, my partner and I had such a good and stress-free time. From day T-1, everything felt like it was done so my partner and I could actually spend time with each other and live in the moment, appreciating the beauty of the venue we were in (Villa Plenilunio). Our decorating team (Flower Lace) came that night to set up so we were able to watch all the decorations go up which was magical. On the day of the wedding, Liz brought along this massive team and had organised personal assistants for us, our bridesmaids, our groomsmen and our parents. My personal assistant (thank you Maya!) helped steam my giant wedding dress, helped sewed the straps on my reception dress to be shorter, and did so many things for me that day that I am so grateful for. I was able to live in the moment from beginning to end and truly enjoy my own wedding. My partner and I are beyond thankful to Liz & her team for giving us our dream wedding. I honestly think I could've picked ANY venue or had my wedding anywhere in the world and it would be amazing as long as Liz was in charge of planning. Liz truly works with and recommends the best vendors - we were also seriously impressed with Lovoto and Bali Miracle catering.Posted on N and CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From our very first conversation with Liz, we immediately knew that we had found our wedding planner. Liz is incredibly organized, meticulous, and experienced. Throughout the planning process, Liz and her team were very responsive and reliable, always ready to step in with professional and honest advice. Communication with vendors was also effortless. We also appreciate how Liz is always looking out for us to ensure that every detail was met with high standards. On the wedding day, everything was absolutely seamless. They had a dedicated team of assistants attending to the couple, family, and friends to make sure everything runs smoothly, everybody is well informed and cared for at all times. We were consistently impressed by their attention to detail and thoughtfulness. Grateful to have this exceptional team with us to make our dream wedding a reality.. Beyond their professionalism, Avavi team is simply a group of wonderful people - genuine, warm, and truly passionate about what they do.Posted on Gloria wonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful experience working with Liz and everyone at Avavi. Planning a wedding is hard, especially if itâs 10,000 miles away from home . We were so concerned and wondering if this dream destination wedding would be a success or a nightmare⌠BUT EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! Liz and the whole team made it almost effortless. They know exactly what they are doing and exactly how to negotiate with all the vendors in your favor. I cannot recommend them enough. If we were to do it all over again , we would do it exactly the same with Avavi on our side. They are the best!Posted on Diana KimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From our very first meeting with Liz at Avavi, we knew we were in great hands!!! This team has so much experience in the wedding industry and is incredibly well-connected with vendors and venues across Bali. They had answers to all of our questions and made the whole planning process feel way less overwhelming. Over the past year, Liz has been on top of everything, from handling communication with all of our vendors, joining numerous meetings with our hotel and dĂŠcor team, to making sure we were prepped with things we wouldnât have even thought about ourselves. Even with a 15 hour time difference, communication was never an issue. The team was always super responsive, detailed, and a pleasure to work with! We had a LOT of requests along the way, and Liz and her team handled every single one with ease. The Avavi team has years and years of experience and it's clear that they know what they're doing. They made everything come together seamlessly. On the wedding day itself, they even provided personal assistants for the bride, groom, both of our families, plus separate ones for the bridesmaids and groomsmen! They were with us from the moment we woke up to the very end, making sure everything ran perfectly. Our wedding was an absolute dream and it turned out just the way we wanted it to, all thanks to Avavi! Also, if you're looking for a celebrant, Lizâs husband David did an absolutely incredible job at our ceremony! We had a meeting with David as well and he made sure to gather all the details that we wanted during the ceremony and worked with us to make the perfect script! Honestly, we are SO happy with the quality of their work we couldnât have asked for a better team. Would HIGHLY recommend to anybody interested in getting married in Bali!!!Posted on vicky liTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From day one, Liz has been an absolute dream to work with. Sheâs responsive 24/7 no matter what time zone youâre in, and no matter how crazy the idea you throw at her, it feels like she can make it happen. She knows Baliâvenues, decor vendors, music bands, activities, accommodations, and moreâlike the back of her hand. It made everything so seamless and stress-free for us. On top of being so professional and resourceful, sheâs incredibly kind and loving. Her whole team (Natalia, Kia, etc.) is the same: thoughtful, detail-oriented, and always making you, your family, bridal party, and guests feel taken care of. They truly put customer service first. Liz even planned our pre-wedding Bali trip, personally cared for guests when they had food poisoning, and organized day activities for all 90 of our guests the day before the wedding, even though it was outside her scope. What I loved most is that she never pushes a cookie-cutter plan. She really strives to create a wedding that feels personalized and unique to you by asking lots of questions and getting to know you from the start. Because of her, our wedding felt like us. If youâre planning a wedding in Bali, you honestly canât ask for a better planner and team. She made our weekend so special. We are lucky to have gained a forever friend in Bali. Love you lots Liz!Posted on Cherry WongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Avavi team was the key to the success of my wedding, I cannot imagine my wedding without their professional help!! From planning, to organisation, to stage event, dealing with ad-hoc issues, packing, unpacking, they handled everything perfectly. Each and every team member was professional, helpful and cheerful. As an event planner myself, I highly recommend Avavi for your Bali wedding, they wonât let you down!!Posted on Ivor LimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Liz at Avavi did a tremendous job organising our Bond themed party in August this year. Guiding us from start to finish (and even after!), we enjoyed, with our family and friends, an extraordinary 2 day party that exceeded all expectations at the stunning cliff top location of the Ayana presidential suite. Liz gave excellent advice, was always patient and smiling, and up to the end was present to ensure that even the smallest details were not overlooked. All our guests were left amazed- and in the partyâs wake, romance filled the air. After all, vespers not withstanding, you only live twice. Thank you Liz!!Posted on Quentin WongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Liz who helms Avavi is probably one of the most gifted and accomplished event planners i have ever met. She is meticulous, efficient, thoughtful and is able to work with even the most difficult customers with calm and ease. Her serene and cool demeanour is very comforting esp for brides who may get stressed out closer to the date. She also makes really good suggestions on vendors and acitvities pending your budget. She made my event at the AYANA Bali so memorable that up till today my guests are still talking about it and complimenting her on how helpful she was. All in all, she is wonder woman and I would highly recommend her if you want to have a spectacular event.Posted on Jonathon MckendrickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Elizabeth and the Avavi Bali team for our wedding was a wonderful experience, and the end result we couldn't be happier with. From recommending vendors based on our ideas, helping provide list to keep ourselves on track and being so helpful with any questions or issues that arose. In the day the team were professional and wonderful, it felt seamless throughout the whole day thanks to their hands. Simply, the best experience thanks to the Avavi Bali team.
