Dream Vow Renewal

We recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary with a vow renewal ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Aruba, and it was truly a magical and unforgettable experience. The property itself is stunning , elegant, serene, and set against the most breathtaking beach backdrop. It was the perfect location for such a meaningful milestone in our lives.

We did encounter some initial challenges with responsiveness from our first assigned wedding planner, which caused a bit of stress early on. However, everything changed when we’re introduced to Daniela Rodriguez.Daniela was an absolute star. From the moment she took over, she brought calm, clarity, and genuine care to every part of the planning process. She was incredibly thorough, responsive, and thoughtful and it was clear she cared deeply about making our day perfect. Daniela went above and beyond to ensure every detail was handled with grace and precision, and thanks to her, our ceremony was everything we dreamed of and more. Our dinner was to take place on the beach through BLT. Daniela and the amazing Jeanine Balentina coordinated to make a very special intimate event. However, it rained and they had to pivot to re-set up everything on the patio. It still worked out to be incredible!!

We also used Jiten from G10 studio for th photography and as you can see he was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have been happier. The Ritz has a small vendor list of their approved photographers because the standards are so high and Jiten blew us away with his talent and professionalism.

Our guests were wowed by the setting, the service, and the ambiance, and we felt so loved and celebrated. A huge thank you to the Ritz-Carlton Aruba and especially to Daniela for making our 30th anniversary vow renewal so special. We will cherish the memories forever.

Extremely Poor "Coordination"

My son and his wife were married at the Ritz-Aruba this summer. We began planning over a year and a half ago. The "Wedding Coordinator" provided us with very little information. It wasn't until the morning before the wedding, the day of the Rehearsal Dinner and the Welcome Reception, that she FINALLY (after MANY requests) presented us with a proposal which was three times what we had anticipated! We were mortified! The bride's father and I were forced to pay so much more than anything we had seen. I am not sure what finally transpired with the dad but I was simply offered 120,000 Marriott Points (which I did not take). Talk about a slap in the face! For my piece, I ended up paying $20,000 more than what I anticipated. I can't imagine what he had to pay. I would not recommend the Ritz after this experience. Everything was beautiful but it was a tough nut to swallow with how much everything ended up costing. "Coordinator" also did not pay attention to detail. The guests were standing up for 7 minutes before the bride had to call from her room to ask if she should come down. None of the attendants walking down the aisle knew how to line up. Entrance to the reception was a joke! Photographers and DJ new more about what was going on than the "Coordinator." Buyer beware!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
