4 Hoi An wedding packages compared: Which one is right for you?

by Tina Nguyen October 7, 2026 0

Bliss Hoi An offers four wedding packages designed around two guest sizes, 20 and 40 guests, with European and Asian-Indochine styles. Each package has a different combination of décor, menu, drinks, entertainment and reception setup. So which package fits your guest list and the kind of wedding you have in mind? Let’s compare the four Hoi An wedding packages at Bliss Hoi An and what each one includes.

Quick comparison: 4 wedding packages at Bliss Hoi An

Package	Guests	Style	Package price	From/guest	Best for
Sunset Vows	20	European	139,539,000 VND	~7,000,000 VND	An intimate beach wedding
Lanterns & Tides	40	European	259,034,000 VND	~6,500,000 VND	A larger destination celebration
Bliss Intimate Beach Wedding	20	Asian/Indochine	127,951,000 VND	~6,400,000 VND	A small Vietnamese-style wedding
Bliss Seaside Celebration	40	Asian/Indochine	251,106,000 VND	~6,300,000 VND	A complete beach wedding reception

All prices include the 5% service charge and 8% VAT. Going from 20 to 40 guests doesn’t just add more place settings, it changes the entire setup and production behind the celebration, from the tent structure to the sound system.

The two 20-guest packages sit close in total price, and so do the two 40-guest packages, but the food and beverage style and the overall party experience differ meaningfully between them. Per-guest cost drops at the 40-guest tier, but the total budget rises substantially, a distinction worth understanding before choosing a guest count.

Sunset Vows – An intimate 20-guest beach wedding in European style

Package price: 139,539,000 VND | From 7,000,000 VND per guest

Sunset Vows is built for couples who want an intimate destination wedding for up to 20 guests, combining a sunset beach ceremony, European-style décor, dinner, drinks and fireworks in one published package price. The concept centres on barefoot luxury by the Hoi An coast, saying vows at golden hour, walking barefoot on the sand, dining beneath lanterns and fairy lights, and celebrating with family and close friends without the scale of a large formal reception.

What’s included:

Ceremony & reception decoration: Bliss Signature
Style: European-style decor
Lighting: Fairy lights and 20 lanterns across a 10m × 10m area
Sound: Event sound system
Dinner: Western set menu for 20 guests
Canapes: Standard canapés for 20 guests
Drinks: 2 hours of free-flow soft drinks, juice, water, local beer and house wine for 20 guests
Additional drinks: 1 extra hour of free-flow drinks
Champagne: 20-glass champagne tower
Fireworks: Electric fireworks
Rain backup: Complimentary backup in the resort ballroom
Coordination: Dedicated wedding coordinator

This package is built around a European-style reception, with a Western set menu, house wine and local beer. If you prefer Vietnamese or seafood dishes, or want a more traditional Asian-Indochine setting, consider one of the Asian-Indochine packages instead.

Lanterns & Tides – A 40-guest beach wedding celebration in European style

Package price: 259,034,000 VND | From 6,500,000 VND per guest

Lanterns & Tides scales the European-style wedding experience up to 40 guests, but the upgrade goes beyond simply doubling the guest count. It introduces a dedicated marquee, upgraded sound and lighting, a larger champagne tower, premium canapés, a Fusion menu and a broader beverage package that includes spirits.

What’s included:

Ceremony & reception decoration: Bliss Premium
Style: European-style décor
Reception space: Round 25m² marquee with 12 round tables
Lighting: Fairy lights and 20 lanterns across a 10m × 10m area
Sound & lighting: Gala Sound & Lighting – Package 1
Dinner: Fusion set menu for 40 guests, blending Vietnamese and Western flavours
Canapes: Premium canapes for 40 guests
Drinks: 2 hours of free-flow soft drinks, juice, water, local beer, house wine and spirits for 40 guests
Additional drinks: 1 extra hour of free-flow drinks
Champagne: 40-glass champagne tower
Fireworks: Electric fireworks × 2
Rain backup: Complimentary backup in the resort ballroom
Coordination: Dedicated wedding coordinator

That per-guest figure is actually lower than Sunset Vows, but the total spend is almost twice as high. The important budgeting point is therefore not just the per-person rate, but the jump from a package of around 140 million VND for 20 guests to more than 250 million VND for 40 guests.

This upgrade is worth the price when:

There’s a genuine need for seated dining space rather than a tighter, more intimate dinner setup.
The reception should feel like a complete party rather than a quiet dinner after the ceremony.
Upgraded sound and lighting matter for speeches, music and the overall evening atmosphere.
A Fusion menu is preferred over the Western set menu.
Premium canapés and VIP beverages are a priority.
Wine, beer and spirits are important to the guest experience.
A second round of fireworks adds to the celebration’s finale.
An additional hour of free-flow drinks is useful for keeping the celebration going.

For couples bringing family and friends from overseas, the package also fits the broader wedding-weekend concept: the wedding becomes one part of a destination experience rather than simply a single dinner. The 40-guest positioning is particularly relevant to couples planning 3-5 days in Hoi An with around 30-50 guests flying in.

Bliss Intimate Beach Wedding – A 20-guest beach wedding in Asian/Indochine style

Package price: 127,951,000 VND | From 6,400,000 VND per guest

Bliss Intimate Beach Wedding is the Asian/Indochine-styled counterpart to Sunset Vows. It is built for the same 20-guest scale, but puts Vietnamese cuisine, Asian-Indochine décor and a more local beverage selection at the centre of the experience.

What’s included:

Ceremony & reception decoration: Bliss Signature
Style: Asian (Indochine) style
Lighting: Fairy lights and 20 lanterns across a 10m × 10m area
Sound: Event sound system
Dinner: Vietnamese set menu for 20 guests
Canapes: Standard canapes for 20 guests
Drinks: 2 hours of free-flow soft drinks, juice, water and local beer for 20 guests
Additional drinks: 1 extra hour of free-flow drinks
Champagne: 20-glass champagne tower
Fireworks: Fireworks
Rain backup: Complimentary backup in the resort ballroom
Coordination: Dedicated wedding coordinator

The key difference from Sunset Vows isn’t completeness; it’s style. Sunset Vows uses European-style décor and a Western set menu, while Bliss Intimate uses Asian-Indochine styling and a Vietnamese set menu.

If the group prefers Vietnamese food, a more distinctly Hoi An visual identity and an intimate resort celebration, Bliss Intimate is the more natural fit. It is particularly relevant for Vietnamese couples who want the look and atmosphere of a destination wedding without travelling overseas, as well as expat or Vietnamese-foreign couples who want a smaller celebration with a clear Vietnamese element.

The package is positioned as a small, private beach wedding that feels like a destination wedding abroad, while keeping the guest list and overall package structure manageable.

Bliss Seaside Celebration – A 40-guest full beach wedding reception

Package price: 251,106,000 VND | From 6,300,000 VND per guest

Bliss Seaside Celebration is the 40-guest Asian/Indochine version and the most complete option for couples who want a full beach reception with recognisable Vietnamese wedding elements.

What’s included:

Ceremony & reception decoration: Bliss Premium
Style: Asian (Indochine) style
Reception space: Round 25m² marquee with 12 round tables
Lighting: Fairy lights and 20 lanterns across a 10m × 10m area
LED display: 8m² LED display
Sound & lighting: Gala Sound & Lighting – Package 2
Dinner: Seafood set menu for 40 guests
Canapes: Premium canapes for 40 guests
Drinks: 2 hours of free-flow soft drinks, juice, water and imported beer for 40 guests
Additional drinks: 1 extra hour of free-flow drinks
Champagne: 40-glass champagne tower
Entertainment: Lion and dragon dance
Fireworks: Electric fireworks × 2
Rain backup: Complimentary backup in the resort ballroom
Coordination: Dedicated wedding coordinator

The most distinctive addition is the lion and dragon dance, which sets this package apart from all three other options. Combined with the LED display, Gala sound and lighting, seafood dinner, imported beer and double fireworks, it gives the reception a stronger Vietnamese wedding identity while retaining the beachfront resort setting.

For Vietnamese couples, the package also addresses the expectation that a wedding should still feel like a proper celebration rather than simply a beach dinner. For Vietnamese-foreign or expat couples, the lion and dragon dance can also become a memorable cultural element for overseas guests.

Costs that are easy to miss when budgeting a wedding package

None of the four packages above include everything a wedding weekend actually costs. These are the line items that catch couples off guard most often.

Photography & videography: A package covering ceremony and reception doesn’t automatically mean photos and video are included. According to our guide to Hoi An wedding photographers, basic photography packages start around 3,800,000 VND while full wedding-day coverage commonly runs 8,000,000 to 30,000,000 VND depending on duration, locations, and deliverables.

Photos and video aren't automatically included in the package — Photos and video aren’t automatically included in the package

Hair & makeup: This matters especially for a destination wedding, since a trial session before the big day sometimes needs separate scheduling and its own cost.
Accommodation: Don’t budget only for the couple’s own room. For a destination wedding, the number of rooms needed for guests, and how that room block is arranged, affects the overall group experience significantly.
Guest transportation: Airport transfers, shuttle service to the resort, and movement between wedding-weekend activities all add up, particularly for a 40-guest celebration with international arrivals spread across different flight times.
Extra beverage hours: This is worth asking about directly, since every package above has a specific beverage duration built in, and extending it comes at an additional per-guest rate.
Additional decoration: Changing the floral design, backdrop, signage, or seating beyond what’s listed, or adding personal touches, needs confirming against what’s actually included in the quoted package.
Entertainment: A DJ, live music, an MC, or a photo booth shouldn’t be assumed as included just because a package already lists sound and lighting equipment.

What to keep in mind when planning a Beach Wedding in Hoi An

Confirm the final guest count and table plan early

Ask when the venue needs the final number and how it handles last-minute additions or cancellations. A small change in guest count can affect seating, meals, table setup, and the overall package cost.

Confirm the final guest count and table plan early

Build the timeline around the beach, not just the ceremony

Check the ceremony time, sunset, heat, wind, photography window, cocktail hour, and dinner service before fixing the schedule. Leaving too little time between activities can make guests wait around while the couple is taking photos.

Know where the wedding will move if the weather changes

Bliss Hoi An offers both outdoor venues and indoor spaces such as the Thang Binh Ballroom as backup options. Before booking, ask the wedding team which space would be used, when the decision would be made and how the ceremony setup would change. Having these details agreed in advance makes a weather change much easier to manage on the day.

Choose a photographer who knows how to work with changing outdoor light

Beach conditions can change quickly, especially around sunset. Ask to see complete galleries from outdoor weddings rather than judging a photographer only by selected portfolio shots.

Prioritize guest comfort when planning the setup

Think about shade, seating, walking distance, heat, wind, toilets, and how long guests will be standing outside. A beautiful beachfront setup becomes less enjoyable if guests are exposed to the sun for too long.

Agree on the non-negotiables with both families before the wedding day

This is particularly important when Vietnamese and Western traditions are combined. Decide in advance which ceremonies, speeches, family customs, and reception activities are essential so changes do not pile up at the last minute.

Give one person responsibility for handling problems on the day

The couple should not be answering supplier calls, checking the seating plan, or deciding what to do when it rains. Make sure the coordinator or planner has the authority and information needed to handle these details without constantly asking the couple.

From wedding day to wedding weekend at Bliss Hoi An

A destination wedding at Bliss Hoi An can be planned as a three-day stay, giving guests enough time to arrive, settle in and enjoy the resort without turning every hour into a scheduled activity.

Day 1: Arrival and welcome evening

Afternoon | Check-in and settle in
Guests arrive at Bliss Hoi An, check into their rooms and have time to rest after travelling. Keeping the afternoon flexible allows guests arriving at different times to settle in without rushing into the wedding programme.

17:00-18:00 | Welcome drinks
Gather everyone for a relaxed drink by the beach or pool. It is a simple opportunity for both families and guests to meet before the main celebration.

19:00-21:00 | Welcome dinner at Binh Minh Restaurant
Bring the group together for a welcome dinner at Binh Minh Restaurant, Bliss Hoi An’s all-day dining venue. The dinner can be kept informal, giving guests time to meet, enjoy Vietnamese, Asian or Western dishes, and hear any practical information they need for the wedding day.

After 21:00 | Free evening
Leave the rest of the evening open so guests can return to their rooms and rest, take a walk around the resort or enjoy a quiet drink before the wedding day.

Day 2: The wedding

Morning | A slow start
Let guests enjoy breakfast and free time at the resort while the couple and wedding team prepare. The beach, infinity pool and wellness facilities give guests somewhere to relax without adding another formal event to the schedule.

15:30-16:00 | Guests gather
Invite guests to the ceremony area shortly before the ceremony. For an outdoor wedding, the timing should take into account the afternoon heat, natural light and sunset.

16:00 | Beach ceremony
Hold the main ceremony by the beach, with the sea providing the natural backdrop.

16:30-17:30 | Cocktails and photographs
After the ceremony, guests can enjoy drinks while the couple takes photographs around the resort and beach.

18:00 | Wedding reception and dinner
Move into the reception, followed by dinner, speeches and family celebrations.

19:30-21:00 | Evening programme
Plan the key moments of the evening, such as cake cutting, first dance, speeches and entertainment, without filling every minute with activities.

21:00 onwards | After-party
Continue the celebration with music and drinks, or keep it informal with close family and friends.

Day 3: Slow morning and Hoi An

08:00-10:00 | Breakfast
After a late wedding night, keep the morning relaxed rather than scheduling an early group activity.

10:00-12:00 | Pool, beach or wellness time
Guests can enjoy the oceanfront infinity pool, walk along the beach or book time at Ngoc Linh Spa.

Guests can unwind with a treatment at Ngoc Linh Spa

12:00-14:00 | Lunch and free time
Have a relaxed lunch at the resort before guests decide how they want to spend the afternoon.

Afternoon | Explore Hoi An or stay at the resort
Guests who want to explore can head into Hoi An Ancient Town, while others can stay at Bliss Hoi An for a quieter afternoon. The resort’s complimentary shuttle makes it easier to include the Old Town without arranging separate transport for everyone.

Evening | Check-out or continue the trip
Guests can check out and continue their Vietnam itinerary, while those staying longer can use the day as the start of a longer Hoi An holiday.

Why Bliss Hoi An suits a small destination wedding

Weddings at Bliss Hoi An combine a beachfront ceremony and reception with four packages designed for different guest sizes and wedding styles. Each package includes its own décor, food, drinks and event setup, with a dedicated wedding coordinator and complimentary rain backup included.

Bliss Hoi An Beach Resort & Wellness by the beach

Guests staying at the same resort as the ceremony also get the practical benefit of walking from their room to the beach, the pool, or the spa afterward, rather than needing transport between a ceremony venue and separate accommodation. For couples still working out their overall wedding budget, our guide on how much a wedding costs in Vietnam puts these package prices in context against wedding costs elsewhere in the country.
