My guests would like to stay at Beaches Turks & Caicos during the week of the wedding (due to the resort’s great family activities, new water park, etc). We’re looking to split the vacation between Beaches and possible Grace Bay Club where we’re currently trying to book the ceremony and reception. Is there a reasonable distance between these two resorts? Also, are there any transportation companies that we can use to transfer our guests from and back to Beaches the day of the wedding? Any help is greatly appreciated!

It's definitely way too much of a distance to walk. You may want to check with GBC because they do have a complementary shuttle service for guests. With it being a lot of people, they may handle the extra arrangements for you. If you have to book a shuttle/taxi let the hotel recommend someone. They will use people they have found to be reliable. I can't tell you about the costs, our taxi drivers/shuttle drivers have a big hold on the industry which fixes rates on the high side. But if you are booking the wedding at GBC, see if you can negotiate in shuttle service as part of your package.

 

It doesn't hurt to ask!

That's a great idea Krys...I will try to negotiate in shuttle service. I hope it's not going to be a long ride between the two resorts. I already got back from Ileana and the date is available! I'm still waiting to hear from GBC regarding the children allowance at the dinner reception. I don't have much time to plan this event but it looks that once I have the place and photographer booked, which are priorities for us, then I can relax and take care of details:). Again thank you for the info!

Never been on the island so I have no idea how far things are from one another:)..The wedding coordinator at GBC got back to me and they would like to ofer us the lower palapa area at Anacaona restaurant....it looks really nice from the few picture that I've seen! Is this a popular restaurant spot for wedding receptions at GBC?

Iulia,

 

All of GBC is lovely, It's a really nice resort and all of their locations (even by the grill restaurant are great). They do quite a few weddings at GBC so they will take care of you! One advatange of GBC is that all of their reception areas really do have views of the beach/water etc.

 

Hope that helps....as for the distance on island. The island at it's maximum is only about 25 miles long and half of that is undeveloped. Traffic is non existent really, we have no stop lights etc. I get annoyed if it takes me more than 15 minutes to get somewhere....makes traveling back in the US and UK a test of patience LOL.

      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!
