We believe in keeping things open and transparent for everyone who works with us. Recently, there’s been some confusion online about our brand and website, so we’ve created this page to clear things up with simple facts.
To clarify, amorabaliweddingplanner.com is not affiliated with “Amora Bali Weddings,” nor is the site meant to impersonate or benefit their brand. We have gone separate ways. The domain amorabaliweddingplanner.com has been solely and rightfully mine since day one.
While we are no longer affiliated with “Amora Bali Weddings,” we continue to operate proudly under our trademarked name Amora Weddings™. This brand reflects the experience, systems, and partnerships we’ve built since 2017, and is managed under our European entity, Nomadic Owls OÜ.
Our goal is to make sure couples, venues, and partners know exactly who we are, how we operate, and where we stand, so you can feel confident working with us.
I’m sharing these messages in the interest of transparency—not to defame. My sole intent is to clarify the facts and maintain clear communication with all stakeholders.
"Our website (amorabaliweddingplanner.com) and email accounts associated with the domain amorabaliweddingplanner.com were hacked and hijacked by our former IT team member, Ralph G.S. van Slooten"
View Claim →The domain amorabaliweddingplanner.com has been registered in my name since July 2017. Under ICANN rules, domain owners control all connected systems, including email. Securing access to systems I have always owned was a standard asset-protection step — not hacking or hijacking.
View Proof →Email forwarding continued during this period at the request of the other party to ensure a smooth transition. This is standard practice for securely managing assets, not hacking.
View Screenshot →"About the domain of amorabaliweddingplanner.com it registered in our CV. Yes, you bought the domain with your personal account however according to the eye of Indonesian law you're a third party that trying to steal access to our company."
View Claim →You cannot “steal” a domain you already legally own. The domain amorabaliweddingplanner.com was registered—and remains registered—under my personal account. This is confirmed in her own words: “Yes, you bought the domain with your personal account.”
Under ICANN policy, the only thing that matters for a .com domain is who the registrant of record is in the registrar’s system—not internal company documents or Indonesian legal filings icann.org . Indonesian CV registration or notarial filings cannot override the global registrar’s records.
ICANN →"Someone using the alias Chloe Lin (real name: Ralph Van Slooten) has been contacting venues, agencies, and brides with false information about Amora Bali Weddings."
View Claim →Chloe Lin is a team member of our company, not an alias. Communications made under this name have been for legitimate business purposes related to our own services, not to represent or impersonate any other brand. Our business has taken a different direction and is focused on building new partnerships.
"Rather than giving in to blackmail, we've decided to embrace this as an opportunity for a fresh start.."
View Claim →We attempted to reach an agreement on terms to continue operating our systems collaboratively, but no mutual terms could be found. As a result, I secured the assets I have built and maintained — a step fully within global domain regulations — to protect the continuity of my work.
View Conclusion →We’re not a wedding planner ourselves. Think of us as your dedicated concierge for unforgettable weddings in Bali. We connect you with our trusted network of licensed local planners, venues, and vendors — making sure you have the right team, the right location, and a smooth experience from start to finish.
No. We are not affiliated with "Amora Bali Weddings" or their company. We parted ways at the end of 2024 and now operate independently. They are not part of our partnership roster as of today.
After several years of collaboration, we chose to go our separate ways when we could not agree on terms that reflected the value and care we bring to every project. Moving forward independently allows us to deliver an even more streamlined experience, with full control over our vision, systems, and the quality our clients expect.
No. Your wedding arrangements will proceed as planned. We continue to work with our trusted network of planners and venues to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Here’s a quick look at the key moments in the history of AmoraBaliWeddingPlanner.com — from our launch in 2017 to where we are today. In late 2024, we chose to move forward independently, ending a previous collaboration and continuing under our own registered trademark, Amora Weddings™. This decision has allowed us to focus fully on our own vision, systems, and trusted partner network, ensuring a smoother, more consistent experience for our clients.

Whois data about amorabaliweddingplanner.comThe site was launched with some placeholder content. Styling was not fully functional yet, but the first version was online.
The website on the 17th of July 2017Transitioned away from WordPress to a fully custom-built platform for better speed, security, and feature implementation.
The Current WebsiteInitiated negotiations for a more sustainable agreement due to insufficient payments covering system maintenance and optimization.
After some back and forths, while awaiting a response, I learned that a second site (amorabaliweddings.com) was being built.
To prevent further issues, I secured the domain and associated digital assets in alignment with global ownership rights.
Despite renewed discussions, We were unable to agree on financial terms, and the partnership was officially concluded.
This situation has, unfortunately, gone beyond business. There has been direct contact with my family without their consent, which has been upsetting for them. While I won’t go into personal details, I believe it’s important to keep such matters professional and respect everyone’s boundaries. View Screenshot.
