Your Wedding in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is not just a destination; it’s an experience. Nestled in the lush mountains of northern Thailand, this enchanting city is home to centuries-old temples, vibrant markets, and stunning landscapes. It provides the perfect balance of serenity and vibrancy, making it an ideal backdrop for weddings of all styles.

For your guests, Chiang Mai offers an unforgettable cultural immersion. From exploring the historic Old City to enjoying authentic northern Thai cuisine, the city provides plenty of activities and attractions to enhance the celebration.

Legal Requirements for Getting Married in Chiang Mai

While your ceremony at Aleenta Retreat can be purely symbolic, registering your marriage in Thailand offers legal recognition. The process involves:

Obtaining an Affirmation of Freedom to Marry from your embassy.
Translating and certifying required documents.

Many couples opt for professional services to handle this process, ensuring all paperwork is completed correctly and efficiently.
