Newbie Intro - March 2009 bride

Hi everyone!

I just joined the forum and thought I'd post a quick introduction. My name is Heather, my fiance's name is Jamie and we've been engaged since September 1. We are planning a destination wedding for just the two of us in March, 2009 - I'm 35, he's 40 and it's a second marriage for both of us.

I'd been sold on Coco Bay Resort in Antigua, but I cannot get ANY responses to my emails or phone messages. I understand the "island time" phenomenon, but it's getting ridiculous.

At this point, we haven't chosen a destination yet, so I'm open to suggestions! I don't want a huge resort like Sandals, etc. Since it will just be the two of us, we're looking for something intimate and special - definitely on the beach somewhere. I'm not a fan of Jamaica, but other than that - we're open, so if you think of something please post and let me know!

Thanks so much! I look forward to posting and getting to know you!

Welcome to the forum! I have a bunch of links for finding unique venues in my bio, one of which is unusual villa rentals - which is how we found our venue. It might be worth checking out.

Welcome to another Texas girl! We're getting married in Playa del Carmen. Look around on here as there is a ton of info

Your welcome. We had a lot better luck with private locations that didn't have a hired staff member doing wedding coordination. Our contact person for our venue is the daughter of the owner, so she has a personal interest in making sure she's responsive.

Hi Heather,

Congrats and welcome!
