Bali Brides, wedding and event planners
Our Founder – Tristan Moy, started Bali Brides 4 years after planning her own wedding in Bali. She discovered the stress and struggles that foreigners face when planning a wedding in another country where English is not always spoken. And not everything could be easily found online. Originating from New Zealand before moving to Perth, Australia. Tristan studied diplomas in Hospitality, Project and Business management before moving to Bali in 2014 and starting Bali Brides. 10 Years on and Bali Brides has grown to one of the most trusted and recommended wedding planning companies on the island and our team have planned and coordinated over 500 Weddings and Events.
