So I've decided to have a destination wedding. I originally thought I wanted to go to the Bahamas. But I'm feeling a little discouraged by some of the comments on here. I was looking for an AI resort and was thinking about RUI on Paradise Islands. My parents stayed there last year and loved it. I would love to hear more reviews. I wanted a wedding in a garden setting which I'm not sure there is a garden setting at this site. I've also thought about Sandals but again, not hearing super great reviews. I've looked at weddings in the Bahamas website also, but I'm afraid it will be more expensive to do that option versus picking the wedding packages at the AI resorts. I then ventured out and looked at RUI in the DR in Punta Cana, it looks beautiful and got great reviews, and seems to be cheaper! However, I think my parents are more comfortable going to the Bahamas. Any thoughts?

Choosing the perfect resort can be overwhleming, I have been working on a wedding at the Riu Paradise Palace for anther bride and they have been great and accomodating, sometimes a little slow on their replies but the resort looks lovely and I hear good reviews about the whole property.

 

The Dreams Palm Beach in The Dominican is very nice too!

 

I hope this helps,

Hey

 

I have stayed at the RUI  Palace in Punta Cana it was really nice with an amazing beach but it didn't seem to have a garden location for a wedding --  It didn't have many garden areas at all!!  

 

But it was a beautiful resort!!

 

I also would love a garden wedding but I'm having a hard time finding  an AI resort that has a nice ceremony site that is a garden location.

 

Are you having kids at your wedding because if your not I would recommend Secrets Capa Cana it has the most beautiful grass outlet over the ocean!!  This would be my resort if we weren't having kids at are wedding! 

 

I am now looking at resorts in Mexico but would love to here about other garden areas!

 

Happy  searching!

I am getting married at the Riu Palace Punta Cana June 2, 2012, we did a site inspection there last March and like MissNikki said it doesn't not have many or any garden areas at all that I remember.  I believe the ceremony locations are the gazebo or the beach..we wanted to have a beach ceremony which is what we are going with.  Good luck with your decision and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

 

Happy 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!
