Oh cool! I have seen pictures for the Buenaventura it is beautiful. We have looked into El Valle too. I guess my only concern there is having to hire all the vendors separately as at the Decameron it looks like they may cover pretty much everything in their packages. There's Definitely a lot to consider!Originally Posted by JR14
I've also been in contact with a lot of wedding coordinators, which have been very helpful so if you contact a few I'm sure that they might help you choose a location.
Â
El Valle also has a nice property - Los Mandarinos, I've seen a few weddings done here when I was looking up photographers. Its really pretty!
I'm actually having mine offsite the Decameron and at the Buenaventura.

Hi RandR,
Â
Jenn emailed me pics so I can share what I have with you!! I'm actually leaving for a site visit on Monday! I can't wait to see the property in person and speak to Julia (the WC). She's told me there are weddings everyday so I'll take pics if I catch the ceremonies.
Â
Have you set a date/month yet?

One thing I forgot to mention is that your fiances fears may be in regards to the "rebels" that occupy the Darien jungle that join Panama and Colombia. There aren't actually any roads going through the jungle , it is not drive able and your visits to Panama won't take you anywhere close to there.Originally Posted by RandR
Hey Amanda+Dave!
Â
To help subside your fiances fears of safety. My fiance is from Panama and I have gone there with him to visit family. I did not have any issues with crime and in certain areas of Panama there are actually a lot of retired Canadians and Americans due to the lower living costs. I think this is becoming more and more popular.
Panama city is big and there are areas like any city that you wouldn't walk alone at night. I would be more afraid of the driving then the crime
Â
In Feb 09 my fiance and I actually rented a car and drove for 7 days through out Panama. Going from Panama city to Punta Chame to El Valle to Boquete to Bocas (boat to the main island) and Back to Panama City. I never felt concerned about crime during this trip. We did get pulled over for speeding though.
It helps that my fiance is fluent in Spanish, but most people in Panama thought that he was a foreigner and I was a locale, bc of his light skin and eyes.
I don't think crime is any higher in Panama then in any other popular tropical destination, it's just not as "touristy" yet.

Just got engaged three weeks ago and haven't yet settled on a destination.
We are going to see my TA/cousin next week, so hopefully we will have a good idea then.
Panama is one destination I just came across, and so far, I love what I have seen.
My fiance's one concerns is crime ... he seems to think Panama is a dangerous country, but I have read otherwise.
Anyone able to soothe those fears?

Hey everyone,
It is pretty awesome to find other couples planning on getting married at the royal decameron. My fiancé and I are getting married there May 31st, 2011.
I have been to the decameron last year and its absolutely gorgeous. I have lots of pictures if anyone would like to see them. I also have some of a wedding that was held while were there. They had it on the beach.
We chose the garden for our wedding because its a little more secluded and we found that people were walking in front of the beach wedding getting in the couple's video and pictures. Also we are having our reception at the sushi samba restaurant which is also more secluded and also has a pOol right beside it. if anyone would like to see any pictures let me know and I can post some or email them!
Thanks,
Jen
