I work with all hotels on the island so I would not be able to openly give you my opinion on one or the other resort. If you be so kind to PM me I will gladly give you my take. Regards, Bryan Morris

Hi Danielle, any specific Q's on RIU Palace Aruba? I live here and have documented many weddings at this particular location so you may bombs away with your questions.

You're most highly welcome.

Westin has a magic show nightly from 9 pm -10 pm for $35 p/p that's all the shows they have. Bryan Morris

Do you want to buy this and have them ship it over fr you? I'm sorry to break to you but that won't happen. This is island. I wish I know exactly what you were talking about and I could go down and get it for you and mail it or Fedex it to you. Can you by any chance take a picture of what you're referring to and then I can go out and see if I can find it or something similar. Â Peace, Â Bryan Morris Â

 Online you would not find anything like that. Is there something in particular you're looking for? As there is not really such thing as Aruban Christmas Ornaments. A few local arts and craft people just might have something but it's not a trademark thing of Aruba t have these.  Bryan Morris Â

A warm Arubian welcome. Any questions you have, especially concerning weddings in Aruba, don't hesitate to get in contact with me. Â Bryan Morris

I don't know about pricing but here you're looking at anything but the Bucuti as I'm assuming you want to be with your guests and you want the wedding to be at the location you're staying at. Â Besides pricing do you have any other requirement? Total Privacy, somewhat private to not private with a few onlookers. Outdoor reception or indoors. Â I know of a great DJ, I can recommend you. Â How may guest are you expecting? I need his info t know what I can get out of the WP's. Â Bryan Morris

Hi Congratulations and welcome. What are you looking for as pertaining to location? Price, ambience, service what's your criteria?

This is his direct number. This should ring right at his desk. 011 297 5236406 You should be able to get him if he's in office at least. Bryan Morris

Do you care to express your concern? I might be able to answer some of your questions. And if I get the details of the ones that I can't answer I can do as much as give the WP a call and try and get him to respond or answer to me and I'll pass it on to you. Regards, Bryan Morris

Hopefully in the next few days we hear something since I think this is the best place I've seen during all my research! Any other suggestions you have for other resorts as well would be great. Thanks!! This might sound bias but in all honesty it is not. I will not spare it if I have to say it. So here we go, all locations and resorts on the island are top shelf. It will all depend on what is important to you. For some transportation might be a factor, for others privacy and yet for others accessibility to downtown and surroundings so these are a few examples that will help you make a decision in location. Renaissance -Total Privacy, non but your guests and vendors accessible. Bucuti, Divi Hotels, Manchebo, Amsterdam Manor - Beautiful Beach, awesome adult only resort. Very few if any bystanders. Hyatt, Westin, Phoenix, Riu, Radisson, Occidental, Marriott - Walking distance or very short cab ride if your guests are all not staying at the same resort. Most bystanders, however manageable of all the three locations. Now, any details you would like of any of these specific hotels you may launch specific questions and I will be able to respond.

For cakes you may visit my blog and see a few examples. There's a link a few posts above yours. You might find bridesmaids dresses as well but not many as my brides generally don't have bridesmaids. A bacholerette party idea that I've seen is this Aradia Fitness | Pole Dancing and Sensual Fitness for Women and even if you will not be in Canda or the US you should be able to get a DVD and follw the instructions. A quick search came up with this Bachelorette Party Ideas and Bachelorette Party Planning

I've talked to a TA who told me the Renaissance is adults-only, however the website suggests they do allow children. We have nieces and nephews who will be invited along and want to make sure our location will be kid-friendly. Do you know if this really is adults-only resort? I sent them an initial email request for more information and am hoping to hear back in the next few days. We are aiming for a March/April wedding, so hopefully we are allowing enough time to plan Hi Ann, Renaissance is actually two resorts. The Ocean suites is kids friendly, this is the one closest to the ocean, hence the name. I guess. Then across the street you have the Marina Towers, now this is the adults only section. Keep in mind as you plan that March 18, April 22, 25 and 30th are all national holidays. If you're doing the civil section you should keep these dates in mind. The hotels usually treat these as regular working days so you should be fine with your blessing on the beach. Anything else you need to know feel free. If you have any specific questions to the WP, I work with them close and they're just a call away. It might be quicker than email. They have to deal with quite a few inquiries constantly and they're responded to in the order that it was received and besides they still have weddings to prepare for so it can take some time with responses.
