Hi Everyone, I found this site late last night and was hooked. I was up half the night looking around! I got engaged in March and will be getting married in June 2011. We have narrowed our destination down to the Dominican Republic or Aruba. I look forward getting and sharing many ideas in the next year!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your engagement. This site is highly addictive and awesome for planning a destination wedding!! We chose the Dominican Republic because we specifically wanted our resort. I know other people choose their resorts/locations due to weather, affordability, and if they've been there before. Take some time to search the resorts you're interested in and read the reviews. It will all come together very soon. Good luck and enjoy your planning!

Congrats! And welcome to the forum. Have you traveled to both places? I just got back from DR and went to Aruba a couple of years ago. I'd say they are pretty different places. The DR is mainly all-inclusives and while there are plenty of things to do off of the resort, I definitely felt more safe out on my on in Aruba. I would say that the DR is more affordable and Aruba is more americanized, only a few all-inclusives with some amazing restaurants all over the island (but most are pricey). I think it really depends on what type of atmosphere you are looking for and what is affordable for your guests. Let me know if I can answer any questions for you.

 

Happy Planning!

Julie

Welcome and congratulations!! I've also been to both Aruba and DR, and the biggest difference to consider is $$$. Aruba is much more expensive than DR, so you'll have to consider your guest list and how important it is to you that as many people as possible can come. If you're planning a very small, intimate wedding with few guests, then Aruba will do too.

 

Good luck with your planning!

      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!
