What is a good island to host a wedding?

I got married on St. Lucia at an all inclusive resort, "sandals". We had a GREAT time and it was VERY easy to do. We just told all the people who wanted to come, to meet us there. We didn't have to take care of anyone but ourselves. I reccommend it highly. We stayed at the St. Lucian Grande. It was the largest resort on the island. They took care of all the legal work, and it was all legal when we got back to the United States.

lovely islands  so close to florida,that  a Palm Beach=rich lady  flew her dinner guests there for conch{ shell fish} and fresh fruit  dinner. \n \nA tourist location,  with many small and large hotels. \nYou can rent a moto bike and  try out different parts of the island,  the town is touristy and full  of stuff for  summer wear...  duty free  stuff ,too.\nSome local fishing boating,  scuba,  snorkelling and sailfish, plus other  water gadgets to play on.  \nNice caribbean music... even steel bands/ danceable.\n\nDo not, as a girl walk slowly, without your  man or you will be treated like white  lady  teachers on  their holidays.  \nteachersplus middle aged etc...\nThey are there, to practice sexual meetings and reports,  with darker coloured men- or women.  Sad...  but true. \n\n It is not necessary to go to  Africa.  The men are skilled, speak English, aggressive and expected to be used.... and paid....\notherwise  nice holiday spot. [ Only tainted by  body stuff.} \n food good, cool nights and  hot days... mostly sunny.Shortf light times from  Miami.

I just finished planning a long island wedding and girl do I feel your pain. Very expensive!  It depends on how many people your going to invite and to be honest, maybe doing it at home is the best idea if you have the space.  There is the polish american club in port jeff that is very affordable to rent out, the setauket house which is very nice and some what affordable http://www.setauketneighborhoodhouse.com/  Renting a hall and catering food with decorations and everything is probably going to cost you at least 2000 making your own food will help a lot.  Good luck! and Congrats!

No not at all. You can get married there then go out and celebrate with family and friends. Ask your family and friends if everybody would donate a dish and drinks. Figure out a nice place to celebrate. Good luck.

I don't know about cheap, but we had our honeymoon at a Sandals resort, and there were several weddings everyday and they were gorgeous.  I think they take care of a lot of the details for you when you book with them, plus it being an all-inclusive, once you've paid for your trip and get there, you don't have to pay for any alcohol, scuba diving & water sports, food, even tips are already included.  They gave us a 40 pc dish set and $250 credit to use at the resort. We got couples massages, etc. Basically we didn't spend a cent when we got there, which is better than a cruise in that you don't have to whip out your credit card every time you want to get a coke.  It's also more relaxed, but there's a lot of stuff to do such as volleyball, entertainment.\n\nOur resort was in Jamaica, but there are many resorts on different islands, and they also own Beaches, which is the same package deal and resort, but it's not couples-only, it's families & singles too.\n\nSome of the people brought they're families with them. Maybe give 'em a call?

first of all, discuss it with your hubby both of your preference and  check your finances, time and place. ask yourself if you should go for exotic places, island hop, out of the country, famous town or nearby area.\n\nif romantic, try italy (venice) or france (paris). if adventure, try hawaii (maui) or australia (melbourne). if explorer type-try africa (kenya) or south america (brazil). if love 24 hours non stop fun- try las vegas or new jersey. if exotic-try tahiti or jamaica. if nature lover-try canada (alberta) if sea farer-try cruises in mexico, barbados or greece.\n\nthere are plenty of choices, just think it over with your hubby and both of you can figure the best place to spend your honey moon.  \n\ngood luck on your choice of place and before i forget, congratulations on your marriage.......

I know both places and would opt for Mauritius.Seychelles is really beautiful but it's too costly and services not to the standard.Mauritius has the same advantages and you will get value for money. No need to go to 5* places,the best sites are public and transport costs peanuts.

Well, I don’t know the Detroit area, so I'm not sure where good areas or bad areas are, and I couldn’t find anything that was very cheap.  Here’s what I did find (some are just in the Detroit area).  You may have a hard time finding something for that many people that allows outside catering.  Good luck and congratulations!\n\nSheraton on 21111 Haggerty Rd. in Novi - (248) 349-6377 – might be more expensive, but it has the space and allows outside catering\nU of M Matthaei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor - http://sitemaker.umich.edu/mbgna - (734) 998-7061 - This is smaller, 150 max, but it’s a little cheaper; you’ll probably have to call for info, I didn’t see anything about weddings on the website\nLighthouse Point in St. Ignace - http://www.lighthousepte.com - This is outdoors, can accommodate a lot of people, and isn’t supposed to be too expensive -  if you’re interested in it, call and ask about the prices, because the website only lists certain packages\nOak Arbor Church & Banquet Facility in Rochester - http://web.oak.mi.schoolwebpages.com/weddings - This can hold up to 250 people; they have a list of “preferred” caterers, and you might be able to get someone else approved; it’s not too expensive, but I'm not sure of exact prices\nShenandoah Country Club in West Bloomfield - http://www.shenandoahcountryclub.com/banquestfacilities.htm - This is big, but might be more expensive than you’re looking for – call or e-mail and check on it, though\nMarriot at Centerpoint in Pontiac OR Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center – Probably more expensive, but prices aren’t listed – they are big, though, and allow outside catering\nYou can also check out these websites:\nhttp://detroit.allwedding.com/reception%5Flocations/\nhttp://www.mywedding.com/wed/detroit-reception-facilities.html\nhttp://www.eventstarters.com/listings/public/showPros.do?vendorCategoryName=Locations&stateName=Michigan\n\nHere’s some websites for DJ’s:\nhttp://www.wedj.com/wedjcom.nsf/usalinks!open&S=MI&M=Detroit&V=DJ\nhttp://www.mannymixx.com/\nhttps://www.gigmasters.com/RNB/RNBSinger_Detroit_MI.asp

Well that all depends on if you want your family and friends there. Ask yourselves these questions... \n1. Can we afford to pay for our friends and family to come?\n2. Can our friends and family afford to pay to come to our wedding?\n3. Do I REALLY want to get married somewhere else?\n4. Should we just elope and have a reception for everyone when we get home?\n\nIf that is what you want than go ahead and do it. Just explain to everyone why you want to do it. You only get married once and you should have it the way you want so you always remember this special time.

Depends one the vibe you want--If you want something beachy, the Florida Keys would be beautiful, or a place like Nags Head in NC.  For historical atmosphere and Southern elegance, Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC are perfect.  For a place that has other tourist possibilities for your guests, I'd recommend Washington, DC or Boston.  If cost is a factor, the Northern Virginia area out near Middleburg has a great combo of bang-for-your-buck B and B places and wineries in a lovely setting.  Good luck!

Padre Island used to be decent.  Cedar Bayou is one of my favorites.  Baffin Bay and North Sticks are also usually pretty good.
