Hi all,
I'm Kimberly from Chicago. Im getting married March/ April 07 & haven't picked the place yet. My guy & I are adventure seekers, scuba & hiking rain forests, etc but I need my feet in the sunny sand for the cermony. We are casual, nontraditional & not into the all inclusive resort feel. We will have about 20 guests max. We started looking into Belize, Viequez Isl. PR & Jamaica, but Jamaica seems very crowded. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

Hi Kimberly. I am also living in Chicago, and, for the most part, in the same boat as you. I haven't nailed down a location or date yet. We were aiming for April, but now we're thinking June. We're looking into Cabo, or Puerto Vallarta - and specifically in the the PV area, we're looking at Las Caletas, but haven't booked anything yet. It's basically a beach only accessible by boat, so it's very private. The weddings are hosted by Vallarta Adventures, and they also do many of the excursions that you mention (snorkling, scuba, etc.). Check out: http://www.vallarta-adventures.com/g...s/wedding.html
For the more unique wedding, since you seem to be an adventure-seeker, they also offer other types of weddings as well. http://www.adventureweddingspv.com/w...adventures.htm
Good luck with your planning!

Belize sounds awesome, but what about Costa Rice or Guatemala? How many people are you thinking will join you?

Welcome Kimberly!
Check out this little place in Todos Santos, MX called the Alegria Inn. www.alegriainn.net
Their weddings are supposed to be really cool for a small group- we looked into it but our group was just too big!
Todos Santos is a little artist enclave on the Baja California coast that has world class surfing nearby. In fact, check out the Pescadero Surf Camp nearby which might be a fun activity for you and your guests. We are looking into it for our honeymoon.
Happy planning!
Jennifer

I don't know what your budget is like, but The Turtle Inn in Belize could work really well for you based on how you describe yourselves. The other Coppola property in Belize is better, but it's not on a beach. http://www.romartraveler.com/RomarPa...lasBelize.html | |
