Checkman

Corrin and I (Chris) are new to the forum, I happed to stubble across it through my friend "Google." We have been trying to find our destination wedding location and have started by looking at Paradisus Palma Real, Paradisus Punta Cana, and recently Hideaway Beach Resort. Of course we are not stuck on the DR, we just started there. We will consider any and all places, as we are also researching the Outer Banks in North Carolina and Florida locations, and places like Mexico, Jamaica, etc. I have read some of the information you have here at the forum and you all are very nice in helping. We look forward to joining the community Basic information: 60 guests max plus us 2 (but we'll probably have 40-50 attend), half live in Illinois half from New Jersey, flexible wedding date but hopefully Spring 2009, all of our guests will be over 21 except for one 2-year old, and we are looking to have a beach wedding. We also want to try and keep the expenses low for our guests who are flying in and coming to our special day. Our budget for our wedding and honeymoon will probably be around the $20,000 area. I know several of you have researched many of these places, any advice or help would be much appreciated that would fit our needs. THANKS!!! Corrin and Chris

Thanks!! So, in our limited amount of research and our smaller than we like budget, where should we start? We are looking for a good bang for our buck and to keep it affordable for our guests. I heard DR might be a good place or Mexico. A very nice beach wedding would be best!

Hello, 1. Corrin & Chris 2. Spring of 2009 is all we have determined so far 3. Wedding location is to be determined. We know we want to do a destination wedding but we're not sure where. We just got engaged a week ago - Corrin & Chris
