First off, welcome3.gif to the forum!

 

Some things I know a lot of us took into consideration were:

1. Budget (ours and guests) - Start here!!!

2. Time of year (weather, lowest prices)

3. Package value (all inclusive vs non, recpetion, etc)

4. Distance (travel time)

6. Activites in and around the location.

 

Have you and your FI been to a destination that has felt so special for the 2 of you? Or is there a place you've always wanted to go? Think about some of these and it will at least help you narrow down some places hopefully.

 

Browse around the forum, you will find lots of help and ideas. Hope this helps some.

 

Happy Planning

Thank you. This site has so much info. I'm hoping it will help narrow our search.

I never introduced myself. My name is Joey and my FI is Matt. We have been dating for over 4 years. On June 2nd he proposed! After all the excitement of the engagement I started researching venues. He wanted the whole big wedding (Groomzilla) but I wanted small. After looking at the proposals in our area we decided it was just too expensive to do the big wedding. So now we are back to small destination. I'm really excited! I've been trying to decide where. Should we see a travel agent to narrow it down?

Hi Joey. Welcome to the forum. Picking the location was the hardest part for us but this forum was great in helping narrow it down. Have you considered Cancun/Riviera Maya? The flights are fairly reasonable and there are so many options for hotels in that area. Plus the water is amazing. But another option is Bermuda. It is a short flight from PA.

Welcome!

 

You have a great list to start narrowing choices down, thanks to Twinkletoes!

 

I would suggest doing a little independant research, just to see what is out there before contacting a TA. When you are ready to talk with a TA, we have several on the forum that specialize in DWs.

 

Congrats and happy planning!

Welcome! A travel agent can help you with destination options and resorts that are available. But it is a good idea to know what you are looking for. We chose a Western Caribbean cruise for our wedding. We attended a friend's cruise wedding a few years ago and were sold on it! I'm sure whatever you choose will be amazing!!! Good luck!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
