Hi - We are in the process of planning our wedding next May at the RIU! Any advice, things you loved, wish you had done differently, insider info, ie???? Any brides who were married here? Photographers, Videographers, Officiants??

We have never been to Aruba but heard such wonderful things about it!

I don't have any advice, since we married in the states and only honeymooned in Aruba (and that was a long time ago), but I just want to wish you well and to extend my congratulations to you. You'll have an absolutely beautiful setting for your wedding.

Hi daniellemac,

What info are you so desiring to have? One tip: Find out the exact time of sunset and then plan to start your beach blessing one hour prior to that time. This way you'll have the time to enjoy the "Golden Hour". I have a few RIU weddings on my blog (see link below) get an idea how it looks and then you can come back with some specific questions.
