Turks & Caicos vs. other caribbean islands & a good travel agent

AshleyBrooke · February 29, 2012

Hello!

Okay, we've been engaged now since the end of December and we've been trying to find a place for our destination wedding ever since! We were first stuck on Aruba (guaranteed good weather) but I'm not loving the hi-rise options, and some of the low-rise resorts have not had the best packages.

Now I'm really liking the Turks, but I'm not sure what venue. I love the island (i had first ruled it out b/c there is no direct flight from Boston, now i don't care). Are there any brides out there who have recently been married in the Turks that loved it? I've found some threads, but they were a little outdated.

I'm looking for a low-rise location (any island) with an intimate feel that someone has been married at and loved (preferably all-inclusive, but that's not a must)!

Also, can anyone recommend a good travel agent? I've spoke with three and have been quite underwhelmed. And I've been getting better prices reaching out to these resorts on my own than with an agent. Should I not use a TA at all?

Any/all suggestions welcome!

Thanks so much!!
