Double D Project is an event agency based in Phuket. We have been producing events on the island since 2013 and have delivered more than a thousand of them — from a private dinner for two on a beach to full-scale themed productions for audiences of over a thousand.
What we do
Private parties in Phuket
Birthdays, themed nights, villa and beach parties, anniversaries. Venue hire from 10,000 THB, catering 2,500 THB per guest and a DJ from 3,500 THB per hour — the full price list is published.
Weddings in Phuket
Ceremony, reception and everything attached to both — beach, villa, island or yacht. Formats and real budgets are on the wedding page.
Corporate events and MICE in Phuket
Conferences, incentive trips, team building, gala dinners and product launches, with simultaneous interpretation, LED walls and staging from our own stock. See corporate events in Phuket and five worked packages with totals.

Family events and children’s parties
Children’s parties, gender reveals and family celebrations — decor from 2,500 THB per element and a photo zone from 10,000 THB.
Romantic dinners and proposals
Beach, villa or private island, with candles and torches at 700 THB, a photographer at 5,000 THB per hour and a bento cake at 3,500 THB.
In-house, not outsourced
We own our sound and lighting inventory and employ our own technical crew. That is unusual for an event agency in Phuket, where most work is coordinated between separate suppliers, and it is the reason our timelines hold: we are not waiting on a rental company to confirm a date before we can confirm yours.
Beyond the technical side we handle venue search — villas, yachts, hotels, beach clubs and private islands — decor, catering and mobile bar, DJs, hosts, dancers and live acts, photography and video, guest transport, and the party van when the celebration needs to move.
Where we work
Phuket is home. We also produce events on Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, in Phang Nga and Bangkok, and we have worked outside Thailand, in Indonesia and China.
On the island itself we work everywhere, and each district has its own venues, access rules and logistics: Patong for beach clubs and late programmes, Kamala for hillside villas and quieter weddings, Bang Tao and Laguna for resort conferences and large-capacity events, Rawai and Nai Harn for yacht days and beach dinners. Kata, Karon, Phuket Town, Mai Khao and Nai Yang are covered from the same base.
Languages
English, Russian, Thai and Chinese. In practice this matters more than it sounds: a wedding in Phuket usually involves an international couple, Thai venue staff and suppliers, and guests from three or four countries. Someone has to hold that together, and it is easier when the same team can speak to everyone directly.
How we start
Tell us the date, the approximate number of guests, and what the event is for. We come back with a concept and a budget. Nothing is charged until the concept is approved.
How an event is organised: six steps
The same sequence for a dinner for two and for a conference of 300 guests — only the size of each step changes.
| Step | What happens | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Brief | Date, guest count, occasion, budget and wishes — on WhatsApp or a call | A clear format and the venue's first limits |
| Concept and estimate | We put together the idea, venue, programme and equipment and price it from published rates | A line-by-line estimate; nothing is paid until the concept is approved |
| Venue | We book the villa, yacht, hotel or beach and check noise, hours and power | A confirmed date and the venue's rules |
| Suppliers | Artists, decor, catering, bar, photo and video — inside one estimate | One contract and one person responsible |
| Equipment and set-up | Sound, light, stage and LED from our own inventory, our own crew | A tech rider with no sub-hire |
| Event day | A coordinator runs the timing, a technician the sound and light, the crew the de-rig | An evening with no gaps between suppliers |

Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I contact you?
For a party, two to four weeks is comfortable. For a wedding, two to three months — venues and photographers book out first. High season, December to February, compresses everything: contact us as early as you can.
Do you organise events outside Phuket?
Yes — Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Phang Nga and Bangkok, and we have produced events in Indonesia and China.
Can you handle everything, or only parts?
Either. Some clients hand us the whole event; others already have a venue and only need sound, lighting and a DJ. Both are normal.
What languages does your team speak?
English, Russian, Thai and Chinese.
Do you own your equipment?
Yes — sound, lighting and effects are our own inventory, operated by our own crew. Nothing critical to your event depends on a third party's availability.
Can you find a venue for us?
Yes. Villas, yachts, hotels, beach clubs and private islands. We work with venues across the island and know which ones behave well for which kind of event.
How much does turnkey event management cost?
The estimate is made of the venue, the programme, the equipment and the food. The organisation fee starts at 15,000 THB, the minimum order is 15,000 THB. Prices for every item are published in the catalogue.
When do we pay?
Nothing is paid until the concept and the estimate are approved. After that — under a contract with Double D Project Co., Ltd.
Who is at the venue on the day?
A coordinator running the timing, a technician on sound and light and the set-up crew. All are our staff, not subcontractors.
What if it rains?
For open-air venues we plan a plan B: a tent, a covered area or moving the programme. We decide together the day before, by the forecast.
