The first book that reveals what hundreds of people really thought about the resorts after staying there. The resorts chosen for this book will put everything together for your wedding (or renewal). All offer a ceremony with an official. Many also include a beautifully decorated wedding site, flowers, cake, photographers, and special touches, like free romantic dinners, or breakfast in bed after the ceremony. And in many placesand only this book tells you wherethey'll even provide all of this for free! You'll also learn the lowdown that you won't find in any other guidebooks. The secrets and details your travel agent doesn't even know. Vital information that will help you decide which resort you want to choose.

You'll learn:

Which offer wedding, renewal or honeymoon packages,

What these packages cost,

What is included in each package,

Which religious ceremonies are conducted, Whether they obtain the marriage license and fill out the paperwork for you,

Whom to contact at the hotel to arrange a ceremony,

How much extra it costs to bring guests to the ceremony, How far in advance you have to book a wedding or renewal (from 2 hours to 6 months!),

How long you have to stay before you can get married,

Whether it's an all-inclusive hotel,

The most romantic rooms,

Whether it's an adults-only resort,

If children are allowed, whether there are special prices & programs for them,

How large the resort is,

What their web page is and how to contact them by e-mail,

How far they are from the airport,

Most important this book will tell you what these places are really like. Other travel guides only relate the experiences and opinions of the author. This one tells you what hundreds of guests who went to these resorts really thought about them.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Totally Helpful   May 9, 2005
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This book was absolutely totally helpful when I was trying to figure out where to go for my destination wedding last month . My travel agent (I tried 2) didn't know which places had special wedding programs but this book did. Unfortunately, the book is a couple of years old so when I contacted the places some of the prices and programs had changed but it wasn't that different and the book was still enormously helpful and saved me a lot of time. In the end, I chose one of the places in the book that they said did free weddings (this book told you a lot about these resorts) so it was the best $20 I spent in my wedding and honeymoon planning


2 out of 5 stars Only buy this if interested in a Carribean Wedding   January 11, 2005
 6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This book is okay if you are interested in a Carribean wedding (most resorts are in Jamaica), however, the pricing is already off if some cases up to $1,000. I was very disappointed to see that there were very few destination sites other than tropical. The title should be The Most Romantic Tropical Resorts for Destination Weddings. However, there are a plethora of resorts listed and if you are aching for a beach wedding it gives you plenty of options.


1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money   January 9, 2004

This book was a waste of money. The layout was horrible and the information provided extremely general. You're better off using a wedding or travel magazine and a good search engine.


2 out of 5 stars Not what I was looking for   January 3, 2004
 6 out of 7 found this review helpful

This book is basically 2 pages each for 135 resorts in the Caribbean & gives descriptors like locations for wedding (beach, gazebo, etc), room rates (not helpful at all since it depends on time of year & you can get group rates if you marry there), etc. . Without using this book, I booked my wedding at the Westin in St John & now that I look at the book, some of the information is inaccurate& not really helpful now that I know what the important things to know are...
I could've gotten better information about the resorts on fodors.com and definitely got better information by going to resorts' websites (which are easy to find if you can use search engines).
This would be more helpful for planning a honeymoon, as you can see all the resorts that are out there but as for planning a DW, it is really not useful...



1 out of 5 stars Not woth it   December 19, 2003
 4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I purchased this book with the hope that it will help me plan my destination wedding. It is not worth the money as it is not helpful with anything. Each resort has very basic information (even more basic than what you would find in a travel magazine) and the black and white pictures are not good quality at all. A horrible buy. I am returning it as we speak as it proved to be a huge disappointment.
