This is the most helpful stream I have found thus far....THANK YOU!!! I am getting married at the Sandals resort La Toc in St Lucia and had some questions about the reception. My fiance and I decided to do a destination wedding to keep things small and (as far as weddings go) inexpensive. We have 18 people including ourselves and am finding it hard to swallow that they want to charge for this when we are on an all inclusive resort. A former Sandals bride told me that instead of doing the full blown reception, they just made a dinner reservation once they got there for everyone. Do any of you have any thoughts/suggestions/advice on this? Also, we are getting married on the beach and have opted for the "basic" wedding package. Could someone tell me if that includes chairs, flowers and an arch? I had a phone consultation with the coordinator but did not find it helpful :/

We are having 18 people including ourselves. We opted for the "free" package that comes standard with the minister, brides bouquet, grooms flower, small cake, and half hour cocktail reception afterwards. I did not go for any of the extras. As far as the reception goes, I received advice from another Sandals bride who said, when you get there you can make a dinner reservation for your party. The coordinator told me I could not do this over the phone but the bride I spoke to said she was told the same thing and was able to once they got there. Seems ridiculous to me that you pay for an all inclusive and then they want to charge $50-$100/person for dinner???? How is your planning coming? Can't believe there aren't more La Toc brides on here!!!

I'm getting married at the La Toc resort in St Lucia and would love some advice from anyone who has gotten married there!!! We are keeping things pretty simple and wondered if anyone had any advice?!?!?

How was your wedding at La Toc? I'm getting married there on 4.20.2013. Would love some feedback from you!

Meant to say 4.20.2013

I am getting married here on 4.20.2012, would love some feedback on how your wedding was

I am getting married there on 4.20.2012 would love your feedback!

I am getting married at the La Toc on 4.20.2012 and am very excited! Had my first phone consultation with the wedding coordinator a few weeks ago and it was not that helpful Has anyone had there wedding there yet? I have so many questions....We are getting married on the beach at noon (which is the latest we could get unless we want to spend a fortune on the twilight ceremony) and then there is a cocktail reception afterwards. We decided to do a destination wedding to keep costs minimal and have a small wedding but Sandals wants to charge for everything. We really want to keep it simple and would love feedback from someone who has done the same thing there.
