Phuket's first dedicated Exhibition & Conference Centre is an exclusive new venue for weddings at luxury lifestyle yachting community, Royal Phuket Marina. The venue can accommodate up to a thousand guests for 'society' receptions in the main 2,500 square metre exhibition hall. Smaller receptions for as few as 20 can also be accommodated.

Memorable entertainment of choice can be organised through Royal Phuket Marina's partnership with wedding and events planners on the Island.

Les Anges on RPM�s Boardwalk can tailor make a luxury wedding cake and are famed for their wedding cake�s having even catered for Royalty.

Yacht cruises can also be arranged for wedding parties by the marina's resident Royal Phuket Marina Cruising Club, with a choice of up to seven luxury yachts available for charter.

Guests can stay at the stylish apartments and penthouses now available for rent. With 5-star amenities, the fully-serviced residences include Phuket's only 4-bedroom penthouses with private rooftop pools and gardens, along with 2 and 3-bedroom apartments with pool decks and balconies beside an infinity-edged swimming pool.

On the Boardwalk beside the marina is an array of trendy bars and restaurants, while pampering is available at the Pearl spa, and designer shopping at stylish boutiques. Facilities also include flood lit tennis courts and Phuket�s finest health club, while Phuket's main shopping district and five golf courses including the famous Blue Canyon are nearby.

The RPM Exhibition and Conference Centre is managed under a joint venture with Royal Phuket Marina by Informa (www.informa.com), the largest publicly-owned organiser of conferences and courses in the world, staging over 10,000 events annually.
