Any Iberostar Varadero Brides!!!

[islandbride_2011]

Just wondering if there is anyone getting married or has been married at the Iberostar Varadero and if so what they are doing or did for a photographer? We are getting married March 9, 2011 and I don't know if we should bring someone down with us or trust the hotel photgrapher...I need HELP please!!!

It's unofficial as yet, but I *think* we're getting married at the Iberostar Varadero. We don't have our booking yet, but our travel agent has talked to the wedding coordinator and found out that there's a day available for our ceremony. But it's not until March 25,2011, so it's a little later than yours.

 

I am interested, though, if there are any other Iberostar Varadero brides out there?? There certainly doesn't seem to be...

What resorts are you trying to decide between right now? We took forever to decide because I have a hard time making big decisions...lol...Have you ever been to Cuba before?

[HazelsMelody]

Never been to Cuba. We narrowed it down to Cuba as it was one of the least expensive places to go from here. We were deciding between Iberostar Laguna Azul, Iberostar Varadero and Paradisus Varadero. We keep flipping back and forth between them, nothing as yet. But we'll see. All three of them look like beautiful resorts.

I totally agree it is such a hard decision as they are all wonderful resorts! We also had the Paradisus Varadero as one of our options but to travel from where we are it was about $500 extra per person not including taxes so that made our decision easy I guess...although it is a GORGEOUS looking resort! Well, good luck! If you have any questions about the Iberostar Varadero I can try to answer them as we are booked and have had a lot of contact with the wedding coordinator there already!

Paradisus Varadero is adults only resort. After photographing weddings on almost every resort I can say:

 

Iberostar Varadero is number one - they have the best organization, nicest beach, great food.However if the budget is taken in consideration you can also check Sirenis la Salina. Here is group with reviews:

We booked our trip this afternoon!!! Iberostar Varadero it is! SO SO SO excited!!! )

CONGRATS!!! It is SO SO exciting! Well now we can share ideas! Have you had contact with Belkis yet? She has been awesome at getting back to us within 24hrs of us emailing her. Well, happy planning!

[HazelsMelody]

I emailed her yesterday afternoon, but haven't heard back just yet. It's good to know that she's good at getting back quickly. I've seen on here that some wedding coordinators are so busy that they take awhile to reply.

 

I'm so excited. My brain is overloaded now with all the stuff I can finally get to!

It's very funny that we're both going around the same time! Same month anyway. )
