Hi everyone!!! I recently got engaged and have decided on a destination wedding in Aruba (2.20.2010)! We are visiting Aruba in April and have appointments to see the Radisson and the Renaissance. Has anyone been to either resort? Is one more expensive than the other? Any thoughts and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated:)

 

Also, I noticed a lot of people are hiring a wedding coordinator in addition to working with the hotel. What are the reasons for this? How much are their fees?

 

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi Mandy,

I'm also recently engaged and planning a destination wedding in Aruba April 2010. I've received information from the Marriott, Hyat, and the Westin. They are all comparable in price. The MArriott has a per person price that includes everything- linens to flowers. Or a la carte options. Do you have the contact information for the Renissance? I haven't heard back from them and I'm very interested in having the wedding there.

 

I'm not hiring a wedding coordinator. All of the resorts I've been in contact with provide them.

Welcome!!

According to what Maureen said, i would choose the Raddison. It sounds amazing for a beautiful wedding, and like it would really wow your guests.

As far as wedding coordinators, some brides use them, some only use the resort. Personally, the only outside vendor that I had was my photographer, so I didn't feel the need to use a seperate wedding coordinator. Instead I spent the extra cash on flying my photographer in and having a private reception.

      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!
