And of course, no wedding is complete without a proper feast. Chef Steven Skelly will be serving up a bold spread of flavours to match the vibe—think big, nostalgic, and unapologetically delicious. Cocktails will come courtesy of Mezcal Maestro Denny Bakiev, including the legendary Vampiro, a fiery classic that’s practically a rite of passage.
Twelve years in, Motel Mexicola Seminyak is still shaking things up with a celebration that blends tradition, theatre, and high-voltage fun. Whether guests come for the feast, the ceremony, or just to wreak havoc on the dance floor—this is one for the books.
