Another wedding possibility - if it still exists - The Point - at Maho Sonesta Beach. And there's the upper patio at GCBC. And then there's Dreams in Nettle Baie. So many choices - these just for starters - but it all depends on which side and how much you want to spend along with how elaborate you want the event to be....... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

That is true, although frankly, I would probably advise them to get LEGALLY married in the States (if that's where you're from) and then have the 'ceremony' on island. That's a whole lot easier.

That's a whole lot easier. Absolutely! My daughter was married legally in the US and the wedding party aka the fun part, was in Riviera Maya, Mexico, 2 weeks later. Much less complicated to organize and no need to have an off-shore marriage recognized in the US.

Fully aware of and agree to the fact that the rules for Frenchside weddings are far more stringent than those on the Dutch side of the island, but you still can't beat the settings in each of the places I mentioned.
I guess I was thinking along the lines Carol cited - the formal marriage taking place at home for ease and convenience, not to mention the legalities, and the fun part with photos, reception and all the other trappings being done on the island.
Sorry if I caused any confusion, but I still maintain those are three very beautiful settings. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

That would sound reasonable since it was a Dutchside wedding as opposed to a Frenchside wedding, and I'm thinking you meant you had a pastor of choice officiate on the beach at Cupecoy since I don't know of any churches there........though perhaps I'm just not aware of them.
One of the nicest weddings we ever attended was a destination wedding in the Bahamas.......and while they skimped on absolutely nothing - from the Vera Wang dress to the white carpet leading to the beachside altar at sunset to the white glove cocktail hour, to a formal sit down dinner for the hundred guests in attendance. It required a lot of planning but it certainly was considerably less costly than a wedding at home in Manhattan with two or three hundred guests in attendance. Best thing though, was the guests there were the people who really cared about the bride and groom and truly wanted to be a part of their special day. They blocked the majority of the hotel and had events from Friday afternoon right through to a Sunday brunch the day after the service......it was truly a lovely event. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Having the formalities done on island, versus at home, the incremental cost difference on that for the actual LEGAL CEREMONY has to be minimal. How many people come, for an on island ceremony, versus at home, is a whole different question.
