Hi everyone-I am newly engaged and considering Aruba for our destination wedding.  I hear it is fabulous!  

 

However, I have never been nor can I afford to go before the wedding to scout locations.  So I need some honest feedback...would prefer an all-inclusive as we like to have drinks on the beach and a place where I can have the actual wedding on the beach!  I hear so much about the high-rise area vs the low-rise area and the reviews seem split.  Any opinions/experiences you can share would be very appreciated especially if you've been to the Divi all-inclusive or any of the sister resorts.  Thanks in advance!!!

RobinLynn15 - it really depends on what you are looking for.  But all of the all inclusives have benefits and disadvantages.  But as an FYI you can get All Inclusives at the Marriott Stellaris for a group.

Hello I am new to this group. We have decided to get married in Aruba in 2017 and I am considering the Occidental. I would love to talk to some who have been there or are planning their wedding now. There is so much to do and Since I can't go before the wedding to meet vendors I could use a little help. And pictures. Thanks
