Beaches ~ Turks & Caicos Roll Call!

[Sdofka309]

Hello!

We just recently got engaged and are thinking about a Beaches Turks & Caicos wedding in May 2013 but no set in stone date yet. Pictures are super important to me but someone told me that Beaches does not allow you to bring in an outside photographer? is this true? and Any recommendations for a photographer?

 

Also with other guests that may not be able to afford to stay at Beaches what is the closest hotel?

Also for guests who may want a cheaper place to stay any recommendations for a hotel that is super close?

Also for guest who would like to possibly stay somewhere cheaper what are the closest hotels? Thanks!!

Congrats!!!  Lots of ladies here went with Tropical Imaging.  I've read nothing but rave reviews about them especially Ileana.  I just found out that the prices on their site don't reflect their wedding prices, so you need to email them to get it.  They also require a 50% deposit.

Some of my family are thinking about staying at Club Med.  It's not far from Beaches and is another all inclusive.

 The reading took me a while.  I'm such a geek that I started an excel spreadsheet of notes to utilize later for my planning with links and pictures.

Not really sure what you need to be aware of.  Bugs?  The possibility of rain? Read through this thread and you won't regret it.

Thanks for the information ladies. I can only hope that I will not have this as a worry next year. I hope that any bride with a wedding within the next week is able to find an appropriate solution. My heart goes out to their frazzled nerves.
