1- I want a beach wedding but not by the beach (sand). It feels like theres not much options when it comes to gazebo wedding in the all inclusive resorts :/

2- Block rooms: Travel agent vs directly with hotel. The thing is the price that both are giving is much much much more expensive than when my guests do a simple google search on expedia per exemple.

3- the block rooms doesn't give a package with flights. None of my guests want to do that. they all believe getting a package (flight resort) altogether is always cheaper and better.

4-The resorts with gazebos do not have a nice swimmable beach. hellooo isn't it cancun supposed to have nice beaches all over?(i have never been). So im having a second thought and maybe doing in jamaica?

5-guests coming from Toronto, Vancouver, NYC, boston, Illinois and Brasil. How to accommodate them into groups to have group benefits if they are all over?

ANYONE ????Any advice is welcome!

Funjetvacations.com they do weddings. I went through them for a reg vacation to DR and it was great. Payment plans, insurance and transportation to resort. Allow for individual booking through grouos

My bestfriend got married in a beautiful gazebo at Sandals Ochi in Jamaica. It was an all inclusive resort. Definitely use a travel agent!

I just put my deposit down for Now Sapphire in mexico. They have a gazebo but it's overlooking pool (i think). Im also using a travel agent to book rooms. She told me if anyone finds a better deal than what she received from the resort, to let her know. My travel agent said she would book our flights with a $15 charge if we wanted her to but she said that so many people have points or some type of method to book their flights.

I can't tell you how much research I did before reaching out to a travel agent. She will take care of questions from guests and the booking info that you wont have to worry about.
Best of luck!
