We looked into the Divi, but ended up deciding on Jamaica instead. The Divi & Tam look like great resorts though!!

Congrats! My FI and I went to Auba last September and stayed at the Occidental. We absolutely loved everything about Aruba. I researched it thoroughly before we went (I'm just a nerd like that). That was where I wanted to get married but we realized Jamaica was a lot cheaper for our friends and family so we decided on Jamaica. But if I can help you in anyway let me know. I know a lot about the island and excursions not that much about Tamrijn though.

Hi... I am getting married in Aruba at the Bucuti Resort on July 24, 2008. I can't wait!!!

I was a little dificult deciding on a site since everything in Aruba is so beautiful, but I am so happy we decided on the Bucuti. Nashette over there has been so helpful.

What are your plans for your Aruba wedding?

I am still trying to decide on types of flowers and to have either a DJ or Caribbean band and I am still up in the air about where we are going to have our welcome dinner. Hopefully we can help each other out.

Helllooooo!!

oh my God, i've been waiting for so long to find someone thats getting married in Aruba as well!!

The Bucuti looks lovely, we can't book that hotel as part of a package from the UK as we haven't been able to go to Aruba from the UK for very long. We went to Aruba last July and it was amazing!!

We have been dealing with Lorraine from Aruba Weddings based at the Tamarijn, shes been ok but we don't sem to be getting where we want to as far as a reception is concerned!!

it would be really good to stay in contact with someone who is going through the same thing as me, and hopefully we can help each other!! I'll PM you my email address

Hi Pauline...

I was planning on getting married at the Renaissance, but ended up going with the Bucuti. How have things been going with the Ren? What details are you still trying to work out and what type of info are you looking for? Hope I can help :o)

I am having bout 40-50 people at my wedding and originally I was thinking of having a band, but reciently I decided to go with a DJ. I wasn't crazy about how the bands sounded either and I figured you can't really go wrong with a DJ especially if I give them a list of songs to play. Here is a link so you can hear samples of the Equator Band: http://www.equatorband.com/
