How to build your custom wedding at ACOYA: a step-by-step guide

Step 1: Envision your day

Step 2: Make your initial inquiry

Reach out to begin your tailored planning journey.

Step 3: Collaborate with your dedicated planners

ACOYA assigns a team that collaborates with you on layouts, timelines, and event flow. You’ll discuss ceremony and reception formats, décor direction, and any special touches you’d like to incorporate.

Step 4: Explore venues and choose your settings

Select from diverse indoor and outdoor venues that accommodate various styles—from garden ceremonies to elegant evening receptions. Your planners will help match spaces to your guest count and event sequence.

Step 5: Reserve on-site accommodations for your group

Keep everyone close with ACOYA’s range of stays:

On-site lodging streamlines logistics, maximizes time together, and makes the whole celebration more relaxed and festive.

Step 9: Review your individualized quote
