Can I bring my kids (<12 years old)?

While we love your little ones, our wedding ceremony and reception will an adults-only event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. In addition, the venue will be in a cliffside environment, so we would like to avoid having kids under 12 for additional safety precautions.  If you need a nanny during the wedding time, our wedding organizer can provide recommendations on popular nanny services in Bali.
