Almost as many options as there are hotels. Bali Niksoma does a great Wedding and are located right on the beach front in Legian. As it is not a huge property there are not as many areas for photos as some of the much bigger places but really more than enough. I have a CD rom of theirs with some wedding set up photos and it's just beautiful. Maybe look at the website, might be some there.
You have to decide first whether you want beach or mountain or in the case of Uluwatu & Jimbaran areas a cliff top wedding. I helped someone plan a wedding over there and it was great.
30 of them stayed in 5 x 3 bedroom Villas in Seminyak all in a cluster so they could be together. They all did the pre wedding nights out prior to the big day. Then the actual ceremony and where the bride and groom got ready was at The Ritz Carlton on the cliffs of Jimbaran. They have 2 or 3 chapels and and a grassy area they will set up for the sunset and water back drop. Just magnificent. They had cocktails there afterwards but moved on to a Restaurant in Seminyak for the dinner/reception. Of course the photos were just sensational. Went so smoothly I was amazed.
I think if you have a wedding in the same property that you are all staying you lose a little bit of wow factor. Everyone has seen the place already so even when they decorate for me something is lost.
The other just truly amazing location with a chapel and great restauarant is Blue Point Villas at Uluwatu. Breath taking location.
If I were to marry it would be in Bali and a hard decision as there are so many good options.
God luck with your planning.
