Is there a backup plan in case of inclement weather for an outdoor ceremony?

Should weather not permit an outdoor ceremony on your big day, you can choose to transition the ceremony into the comfort of our Yangaro Function Studio for an indoor-outdoor tropical oasis setting.

Is there parking available for our guests, and is it included in the rental fee?

Parking is available onsite for guests staying in the villas, alternatively external guest parking is located nearby the Yangaro ceremonial garden.

Will our wedding be the only event booked for the day?

We do not host more than one event at a time, ensuring that your wedding is our main focus. However, full exclusivity in our villa accommodation can only be guaranteed if all villas are booked by your party. Rest assured, the ceremonial gardens will be exclusively reserved for your use at the requested time. Many of our guests opt to reserve the entire property, enhancing the likelihood that your event will be the sole focus of the day. Feel free to reach out to our team for more details!

Can we book spa parties the weekend of our wedding?

Certainly! You can absolutely arrange a delightful spa morning at our onsite Day Spa during the weekend of your wedding for some relaxation and pampering. We'd be thrilled to assist in making your special weekend even more enjoyable.

Is Yangaro pet friendly? Can I bring my pet to the wedding?

While we would absolutely love to meet your furry friend, we do have some restrictions in place. Pets are welcome to join for photos, but they must be kept on a leash during the wedding event and cannot stay overnight on the property. We appreciate your understanding in ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests.
