Hello Ladies,
Over the past week I've read this entire thread. What an amazing amount of information you've shared. I am almost 100% sure that we will be getting married at DLR.
My Pros:
Affordable around 200 per night per couple (not inc. flight)
Clean modern/tropical decor
Semi private ceremony location near the water
Size of resort is not too large
Dining options with outside seating with a view of the water
Wedding package options
No wristbands
No reservations
Beautiful lush grounds, beach, rocky coast area
Resort seems a little more unique visually
Cons:
Due to price point we would need to fly from Boston not Portland
Due to price we weuld need to fly into SD
Long ride from SD to LR
We only plan on being there from a Wednesday and leave for a cruise on Sunday. Do to wedding stay requirements the wedding may have to be on Saturday and then we leave Sunday. I would like a Friday wedding.
We are thinking about next April/May. I am leaning more towards the middle of May. I need to check into the weather.
I'm trying to figure out what time of the day will be best. We want to have some pictures before the ceremony seeing eachother for the first time. Have the ceremony after with some family photos following and photos near the water around sunset.
I'm curious what made you choose this resort and the time of day you selected.
Thanks again,
Sara
