A couple of great real wedding reviews have just been posted to the Aruba.com forum!

Renaissance Island, October 2009 – Though this  couple brought their own photographer from North Carolina, the bride raves about working with Juney. They also decided to do the civil ceremony at home in NYC – like us they considered that ceremony [...]

I just received an email from a bride that is considering a Spring 2010 Renaissance Island wedding. Since my experience with Renaissance Island is limited, does anyone out there have any advice or photos you’d like to share with her?
I was able to point her to this Renaissance Wedding Review, and this link to our [...]

I’ve really enjoyed sharing our experiences here on this blog. I continue to receive questions which I still delight in answering. It makes me feel good to think others might be helped by what we went through while planning our Aruba wedding. So, I’d like to dedicate a category of this blog to Questions and [...]

I know its been a little bit since I posted, but now that the wedding is a couple of weeks behind us, I’m ready to put together a short review with my overall impressions. There are also other reviews I intend to get to like the sailing excursion, the welcome bag photos and contents, and [...]

For our wedding dinner we chose the Marriott’s “International Four Corners Buffet“, the corners being the “Asian Wok”, “Mexican Fiesta”, “Caribbean Warmth” and “Middle Eastern Oasis”.

I’m glad to say I’m still hearing about how much people loved our ceremony! In fact, last night I was hanging out with one of my guests. On his return flight he happened to sit next to a young couple that had just honeymooned in Aruba. They were staying at the Marriott Ocean club next [...]

I just received an email from another Aruba bride-to-be asking when did we arrive in Aruba? How early do you need to be down there?
Really, the answer depends on you — are you someone who is laid back, trusting in your wedding planner to handle everything for you? Or do you need to review every [...]

We had our ceremony on the beach at the Aruba Marriott. Sunset was at 6:14 that night so we chose to have our ceremony start at 4:30. We did not want a ’sunset ceremony’. Our idea was we would have the ceremony, then guests would move on to the cocktail hour to enjoy steel pan [...]

After several glowing reviews, its finally time for me to get back to a not so great review… If you’ve followed along you know I’ve had a hard time figuring out my flowers. I finally found my inspiration and sent the photos and explanations of what I was looking for 20 days before the wedding. [...]
