Tracey,

welcome!  The Caribbean is a huge area and islands/countries are vastly different in terms of costs, activities available, access etc.  Probably the best way to start is to tell us what you envision your wedding to be.  For example, do you want to be on a white sandy beach to get married or maybe in a beautiful tropical garden setting.  Do you like more water/snorkeling/diving/boating type activities?  or would you love to tour waterfalls, do jungle tours or visit old caribbean or mexican towns.  Are you looking for a ton of activities or just quiet?  Looking for lots of nightlife? casinos?  or not?  All inclusive?  Villa?  Condo style hotel?  Where are you flying in from (as well as your guests)?  Tell us what you and your Fiance are dreaming of and maybe we can start to narrow it down for you.  You probably won't find everything you are looking for, but I bet we can find something that meets a lot of your requirements. 

 

Just a little about me, I live in the Turks and Caicos Islands (for the past 15 years) and have traveled a bit through the Caribbean.  The T&C islands are known for their white sand beaches and clear blue water (we have no mountains or jungles).   We are very quiet, not tons of nightlife, and do not have tons of tourists like many of the other destinations.  We do tend to be higher priced than many destinations which keeps traffic low here.    Mexico is a very popular destination on the boards as is Jamaica.  There are many all inclusive resorts to choose from in those countries. 

 

Once you have narrowed down countries, I would suggest emailing one of the Travel Agents on this forum who specialize in your chosen destination, I have always read great reviews about their help with brides!

 

Happy Planning!

Hi Tracy - I think Krys had some great suggestions. There are so many places to go and amenities to consider. I think the best thing to do is start with a list of things that are important to you, and you can start narrowing choices down from there. I swear, picking the resort is the hardest art...it does get easier. Oh...I'd also recommend using a TA that specializes in destination weddings and they can also be a huge help when trying to gather information and make a decision on the location/resort.

 

Luckliy you have already found BDW, which is also a wealth of information!

 

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!
