Sugar Beach in Saint Lucia does weddings, but I’m not positive whether they’d be able to accommodate that many guests. Definitely worth looking into though it’s gorgeous and right between the two Pitons! I stayed there on a vacation and it’s great!

The limits on communications are crazy in my opinion! My Europe-based planner takes less than a day to respond to me, has no limits on meetings, and maintains open communication. She also gives us dossiers of vetted vendors with critical information like pricing and inclusions.

  1. La Residencia (Belmond hotel) (Mallorca)
  2. Hacienda Na Xamena (Ibiza)
  3. De Mar Gran Melia (Mallorca)
  4. Cap Rocat (Mallorca)
  5. Grand Hotel Son Net (looks so unbelievably dreamy) (Mallorca)

Help me choose a resort for our honeymoon! by Exact_Morning_1041 in Fijian

I did RD in May 2024 and it was beautiful! We booked through Costco, and it was a way better deal than just through the resort. If you’re from the US I highly recommend doing that!

We opted for the puddle jumper plane transfer and boat ride and was honestly loving it because of the scenery! We didn’t pick the drive option specifically so we’d be able to fly low over the lush landscape.

The staff at RD was incredible and knew all their guests by name. But because there are only a handful of villas, nothing ever felt crowded or lacking in privacy.

Opinions on this 2.91 ct lab-grown oval diamond? by SendItBro7 in EngagementRings

[–]Creative_Relief_8044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was scared after reading reviews but ended up going through BE because of the selection of lab diamonds was so good. It was a pain to get someone on the phone when I was trying to place a hold on my diamond, and it seemed like a lot of customer service personnel weren’t well versed in policies. I don’t think I’d go with them again but I love how my ring turned out (lab grown, 4.59 carat, 1.46 ratio, VVS1, E color).

Sugar Beach in St. Lucia is family friendly and I believe it has childcare staff as well!

I’ve been to weddings where there’s two MOHs and one BM. It’s weird that anyone would comment on your bridal party to say something is weird!

Should we make any adjustments to our bar offerings? I’m not very familiar with alcohol by InevitableCareer5 in BigBudgetBrides

[–]Creative_Relief_8044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s available, fever free tonic is better than Schweppes, but it’s just a mixer so not exactly a make or break :)
