Newly Engaged!!!

Kthorpe · December 28, 2011

Hello Everyone!

I am so excited I found this thread. I am recently engaged and we have always talked about a destination wedding. I have searched and searched and I think this is the one I want! I am expecting around 40 people and want to get the best deals I can. I met with a travel agent and she is checking availability for April 12th, 2013. A ways away but I wanted time to plan. Can anyone tell me where to begin!!!!

Hello,

Congratulations on your engagement! Now is a good time to start thinking about an April 2013 wedding. Your travel agent should be able to get some pricing but not all of the suppliers will have all of their best pricing out until about 12 months prior. It is good to think of what type of resort will best fit your group. Something that has a lot of dining options as well as activities and entertainment, or something more boutique style for an intimate feel. Also if you have some specific ideas in mind for what you would like for your wedding ceremony and reception it might be good to make them known as some hotels will have more options than others. If you have something that you specifically envision for your special day you want to make sure that your chosen resort will be able to accommodate it. Sarah Blue Petal.

Congratulations on the engagement! Enjoy it! We too are getting married in April 2013 but we want to have it for the 23rd. I agree with Sarah and narrow it down to what you want. We wanted a place where Number One had to be good food coz we are such foodies. And then we knew where we DID NOT want to go. If you know an estimate of how many people you will have and what kind of a group, you can ask a travel agent for options that would best suit your needs.

Hope that helps

Good luck and have fun with the search!
