We are Ikebana. Wedding planners, event producers and floral stylists for the Maldives — one team from the first call to the last guest's seaplane.
Weddings and events, arranged across the Maldives.
Ikebana Maldives is a wedding-planning, event-production and floral-design studio in Malé. Founded in 2014: 800+ destination events on resort islands and yachts: weddings, proposals, private celebrations and corporate retreats, each designed once and produced by one team from the first call to the last seaplane.
What are you planning?
Weddings.
You are getting married in the Maldives and want one planner to design, plan and run the whole day.
Styling & florals.
You have a venue and a date, and you want the ceremony, the table and the room designed with restraint.
Brief a styling project →Celebrations.
You are marking something, a birthday, an anniversary, a reunion, and want it hosted properly without hosting it yourself.
Plan a celebration →Corporate events.
You are running a retreat, an incentive trip, a conference or a launch, and need a Maldivian team that has produced it on a resort island before.
Why Ikebana
Why work with us.
800+ moments.
More than 800 destination events since 2014: weddings, proposals, private celebrations and corporate retreats on resort islands and yachts across the Maldives. We have set up in every kind of weather and know what last light does to sand.
Selective elegance.
Twenty-plus local service and rental vendors, chosen slowly and kept for years. Photographers, florists, musicians, boats and crews we would trust with our own family's day. Every detail of your event is executed by someone we know by name.
Global connections, local expertise.
Affiliated with 200+ international planners and agencies, and based in Malé. We are the team a planner in London, Dubai or Mumbai calls to produce on the ground, because we know the islands, the transfers and the resort teams.
Elite resort partners.
150+ resort partners across 35 resort brands, from Cheval Blanc and One&Only to Four Seasons and Patina. We know their venues, their events teams and their rules before you ask, and can be candid about which island suits you.
Recent work.
Across all four kinds of commission, newest first.

Every island.
Every resort in the country has its own page: the transfer from Velana, the ceremony spots, the policy on outside planners and the work we have done there. For couples choosing an island and for event teams briefing a venue.
The promise.
One planner.
One planner owns your event from the first call: the concept, the venue, the vendors, the budget sheet, the rundown and the guests. You get a reply within 24 hours and a proposal with a full cost breakdown within five days, held for five days while you decide. Design and florals are done in-house. Photography, film, music and food come from the 20+ vendors we have used for years, each quoted at cost on its own line.
