@@tasha682 We've compared the resort prices and I guess they are about the same.  HOWEVER.  Kukua is amazing, its not in a resort so you won't have people gawking at you the entire time and its much more intimate.  If you rent it exclusively which I believe is $1,000 USD then you and your guests will have the entire resort and beach to yourself which is what we are doing.  The ambience is unbeatable and if you're looking for something less cookie cutter than this is the way to go.  Bego is really awesome and very helpful.  I'm not sure about the $500 for decorations.  We're paying the entire $1200 for the ceremony, dinner and various other decorations for the ceremony which includes all linens in your colors, centerpieces, note cards, you name it.  Its definately worth not lugging all that stuff in your suitcase.  Planning a wedding here is virtually stress free and they are willing to work with your budget.  Our resort (Gran Bahia Ambar) is right next door so we're excited that we can come check out the place by a nice stroll on the beach!

Hey All!! 4
 

I recently got engaged and we have decided to have our Wedding the 1st week of January, 2015. I am having a great deal of difficulty choosing a place. We are right now considering Roatan Honduras or somewhere in Jamaica. We may add Dominican to the mix as well. The BEACH is so important to us. It seems though if we choose Roatan, we have to give up Atmosphere (music, entertainment at night, drinks etc) if we choose to go there. They have the most perfect beach though! How on earth do you all decide where to go? LOL. I want a clear beach, atmosphere but still a reasonable cost for our guests. We are inviting 47 couples, some which have children. So family resorts are important too. I am guessing about 1/3-1/2 of the people we invited will actually come. I could use any advice, suggestions etc. Would also love to hear from other brides to be who are interested in the same types of resorts who have some suggestions of places to look at!

Thanks!

 

Your not alone..or crazy! lol. I am a 2015 Bride to be too. January 2015. Searching desperately for a way to decide where to go to get married. The choices are endless. I find it exciting but also stressful! lol
