New 2010 Bride

[PaulsGirl]

Hello Everyone!

 

I have to say that this is a fantastic forum from what I've seen so far!

 

My name is Lisa and I'm from Ontario, Canada. We are getting married May 2010. We had originally planned on getting married that the Riu Ocho Rios in Jamaica however the cost has me feeling a little bit guilty ($1800-1900 per person).

 

We're now looking into Jamaica, Varadero, Cuba & Los Cabos, Mexico. We're hoping to make a decision soon so that we can book!

 

I look forward to reading more threads!

Hi Lisa. Welcome to the forum. Love seeing another Canadian here I'm sure the forum will help with all your planning and help narrow down your options. Really...getting married in the Caribbean....is anywhere bad ?

Hello fellow Canadian. Welcome aboard!

Flights to Mexico are pretty reasonable and they are some new direct flights are opening up especially with WestJet. Another affordable option is to fly with a charter carrier. Typically they are booked for either 1 or 2 weeks.

In terms of Hotels, many have reasonable group rates.

I hope you have a successful planning experience and are able to find vendors you require to make your day amazing!

Thank you for the warm welcome!

 

We narrowed it down last night to 3 resorts:

 

Riu Ocho Rios, Jamaica

Paradisus Varadero, Cuba

Riu Santa Fe/Palace, Los Cabos, Mexico

 

All have their pros and cons so now its onto emailing the resorts to find out some information! I'll definitely be looking into the reviews here for help
