Why clients in Canggu commission a piece
Canggu's rhythm — surf in the morning, long-stay studios, a villa wedding most weekends — brings a particular kind of client: people getting married at a clifftop or rice-field venue nearby, long-term residents wanting a piece of Bali that isn't a market trinket, and villa owners who want a welcome piece with real meaning rather than decor bought by the metre. House of Union, our wedding commission, is the most requested piece from clients based in and around Canggu.
For Canggu weddings
Vows and names written as a sacred scroll for the ceremony itself, or framed afterward as a keepsake. Most Canggu couples reach out 4–6 weeks ahead of the date.
For villas and studios
Named welcome pieces and guest-facing Aksara Bali signage for villas and co-working spaces — see House of Arrival for the full commission type.
How delivery works
Every commission begins the same way regardless of location: a conversation with Ari over WhatsApp about the name, date, or words you want written. Framed pieces are delivered or available for collection anywhere in the greater Canggu area (Berawa, Batu Bolong, Pererenan) once complete; digital proofs and international shipping are available for clients returning home before the piece is finished.
Local note for Canggu
Canggu commissions often move through planners, villa hosts, yoga studios, and families staying between Berawa, Batu Bolong, Echo Beach, and Pererenan. The work is usually not a quick souvenir; it is a named piece that has to sit comfortably in a modern villa without losing its Balinese origin. Ari confirms the English spelling first, then writes the Aksara Bali by hand so the final frame can be checked before delivery. For wedding and villa-host pieces, share the venue, installation date, and whether the frame will travel home with the client or remain in Bali.

Message Ari on WhatsAppQuestions from Canggu clients
Do you deliver within Canggu, or do we need to collect?
Both — framed pieces can be delivered anywhere in Canggu, Berawa, Batu Bolong, or Pererenan, or collected once ready. Ari will confirm logistics once your commission is underway.
Can you write a piece in time for a wedding this month?
Sometimes — it depends on the current commission queue. Message Ari directly with your date as early as possible; wedding scrolls generally need more lead time than a standard framed name piece.
Is this available for villa or hospitality signage?
Yes — see House of Arrival for welcome pieces and named keepsakes made for villas, hotels, and guests passing through.
