About The Meru Sanur (formerly Grand Inna Bali Beach)
The Meru Sanur is a large beachfront resort property in Sanur that has rebranded from the historic Grand Inna Bali Beach / Bali Beach Hotel heritage. The wedding offering is substantial — beachfront garden (1,376 sqm, 350-person capacity) plus an indoor ballroom — making it suited to mid-to-large destination weddings rather than intimate ceremonies. Its membership in Preferred Hotels & Resorts and positioning within a designated health and wellness Special Economic Zone suggest an upmarket positioning, though no pricing is published online. The formerly state-owned hotel lineage gives it a more formal, legacy-resort character compared to boutique Bali wedding venues.
Questions to Ask a Venues
How far in advance should I book a Bali wedding venue?
Popular venues, especially for peak season (roughly April to October) Saturdays, are often booked 9-12 months or more ahead. Off-peak and weekday dates can sometimes be secured with a few months' notice.
What happens if it rains on my ceremony day?
A properly prepared venue will have a specific covered or indoor backup space, not just a vague promise. Always confirm this in writing before booking, especially for a wet-season date.
Can I bring my own vendors, or must I use the venue's in-house team?
It varies by venue — some are fully exclusive, some fully open, many sit in between with an approved-vendor list. Confirm this and any associated fees before you fall in love with a space.
