Hey Everyone! I'm new to the forums and am in the process of planning a Sandals / Beaches wedding. We have started working with a travel agent and the more locations I look at the more confused I get. Originally we were planning to get married at Sandals but now that there are a few children on our invite list it looks likes it's going to be Beaches. We have been looking at Beaches Negril and Beaches Turks & Caicos. They both look beautiful, and although I love traveling, I haven't been to Jamaica or Turks & Caicos! We are looking at April 2012 and having 40 - 50 guests. Ideally we would like to have a cocktail reception and private dinner. I really love the look of the Island Paradise theme but haven't dug too much into the details. In terms of the ceremony, I would love to have it right on the beach (somewhat secluded if possible). Do these resorts have private beaches? or do they border on other resorts? Do the water parks take away from the overall atmosphere? Romantic atmosphere that is If you have recently had a wedding at either of these resorts I would love (and appreciate) your advice! We are also open to other Beaches properties at this point. Thanks so much in advance!!! Steph
