6 things to know before requesting a quote
1 · Nikah documents ≠ Thai civil marriage registration
They are separate systems and cannot substitute for each other — ARAYA manages the nikah process; civil marriage registration is a separate process handled with our partner law firm.
2 · If either party is not yet Muslim
An onsite Islamic learning & practice course in Thailand must be completed before the nikah — this step cannot be skipped. Classes are taught in Thai and Arabic; other languages require an interpreter.
3 · Timing
- We recommend planning around 10 days in Thailand
- The document steps themselves take about 3 working days
- Prepare and submit your booking documents at least 1 month in advance
4 · Documents
Before the deposit: please study the preliminary document list on our website yourself.

After booking confirmation and deposit: our team begins consultation, prepares your case-specific document list, and reviews your documents · no document list is attached to any quotation, and no document review takes place before the deposit.
5 · No Secret Nikah
ARAYA does not arrange secret nikah — the ceremony must be clear, witnessed, recorded, and publicly confirmable · the couple’s personal information is kept confidential and never published · but the ceremony must leave proper evidence through the process.
6 · What shapes your quotation
Guest count · event style (simple / with family) · venue (mosque / formal venue / hotel) · halal catering · reception — the exact price is confirmed after consultation.
Once you’re comfortable with the above, our team will gladly prepare your quotation and guide the next steps.
