Default Cuba Wedding

So, I think we've decided to get married in Cuba. Now we just have to decide which resort. Any suggestions

Hi there,

I would recommend Paradisus Rio Del Oro in Holguin. It is a great place to get married - I shot a wedding there in June 2007 and I am shooting another one this coming May. Let me know if you have any questions about this resort.

I'm not getting married in Cuba, but I really want to go there. I've heard it's breathtaking, very colonial. Can't wait to see everyone's photos.

I got married in Cuba at Playa Pesquero in Holguin. It was perfect. I loved every minute of it. If you need any info contact me. I have the wedding coordinator's email address and she was amazing.

I was debatting between PP and Paradisus Rio De Oro which was suggested, but we had kids and kids are not allowed a Paradisus. So, it was an easy choice for me.

Let me know if you need any advice.

I will post pictures from Paradisus Rio de Oro and Playa Pesquero when I come back.

I will be in Holguin from May 3 to May 10 this year to photograph two weddings in two different resorts.

Yes, Paradisus Rio de Oro is now for adults only.
I was there in June 2007 and kids were still allowed and I believe they changed that in November 2007.

Thanks Julie! Did you have any complaints at PP? How big was your group? We are thinking we will have about 30 people. Is there stuff for people to do through the week?
