Welcome Natalie!! My advice is to first decide on your budget (not only yours, but your guest as well), then it's on to your destination. If you want a fully all-inclusive resort, that will narrow it down a bit. Anyway, once you have your location, then start researching resorts! I would say get down to about 5, then start getting information on available dates and times for your wedding. Once you book that, it's smooth sailing! LOL Well at least for me it was! That was the most difficult part I say! Good luck!!
