Hi everyone,

 

I just signed up today! After reading so many posts and having no idea what I am doing, I was convinced that I needed to join. My fiance and I have been looking into having a destination wedding for a few months now. We started with St. Lucia, Aruba, Punta Cana and Jamaica. We have decided with Jamaica since I have family there and its where a lot of people have been. However, I have quite a few options and don't know what to choose or how to plan a wedding, let alone a destination wedding. Someone please help! I have also been trying to find a TA, any suggestions?

Welcome!


Having recently gotten married in Jamaica, I can tell you great choice!  As to the details I would say your next action is to decide on a resort (if you are thinking all inclusive) or a venue for your wedding and reception.  Once you decided on a resort/venue contact a wedding planner from there and book a date.  After that they will help you and guide you through the planning!  Good luck!

I agree with JayKay. I am in the process of planning a December wedding in Jamaica. The most important things is don't get stressed. I choose 3 resorts and weighed the pros and cons of each, contacted all the wedding planners with questions and then decided on one. Then we booked the day of the wedding. Once that is booked you can talk with the wedding planner. Most wedding planners like to finalize things once you arrive there. It sounds scary but I have heard that the process is relaxing and the weddings turn out beautiful.

 

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!
