Hi Kat2012,

 

I am new to the forum and I was worried about the pictures at Beaches.  Who took your pictures?  They are very beautiful.  Thanks!

Is it better to book hotel and wait for airfare later or wait ? Can someone help please!

Hi everyone! I'm Kelly and we are planning a May 2013 ceremony. We met with a travel agent this morning and are ready to book a room and pay the deposit Monday. However, we have had one major issue in trying to nail down dates. Both of us have called Beaches for a total of four times and we have got four different answers regarding the "residency period". There is a lot of contradictory information on various websites as well.

 

Does anyone know where I can find out for sure, if we arrive on a Tuesday, can we get married on Saturday?

We met with a travel agent this morning and she recommended locking everything in for our May ceremony ASAP. I came home and called Beaches and some of their wedding times are already booked so we will be putting down deposits early next week. The TA said our guests could probably book rooms and air through November with no problems. She didn't anticipate the prices going down much, but said it was possible that they would go down slightly in the early fall for spring/summer 2013 travel.

Kelly, you need two full business days for residency.  So if you're getting married on Saturday, you need to be there sometime Wednesday or before.  They can't be travel days, but two full weekdays on the island.  

 

We also booked our room and are waiting on airfare.  We have to get airfare through our TA in order to get the travel insurance. You can do either one, but we wanted our room locked down.  Airfare is usually only available up to a year.  Our wedding is in Oct 13 so we have to wait on airfare.

You can purchase Weddig insurance and travel insurance without purchasing your flights. We did that without the flights being available.

Hey girls,

This is for all the previous brides .... I got married on June 2 2012 at beaches turks and caicos and I still haven't heard from the person who is supposed to be sending me my wedding dvd. I have heard from snapshots who are doing revisions on my wedding album but i still haven't heard from the person with the dvd. Does anybody know any info about this or who to contact to find out the status of this? Thank You
