Paulette Cooper (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 2002

This unique guide is the first book to: identify everything you need to know about destination weddings, marriage renewals, and honeymoon packages offered by more than 135 elegant hotels and cruise ships in the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii and US; tell you which resorts will marry you or renew your vows 'for free' if you stay there; reveal what hundreds of people really thought about the resorts after staying there. The resorts chosen for this book will put everything together for your wedding (or renewal). All offer a ceremony with an official. Many also include a beautifully decorated wedding site, flowers, cake, photographers, and special touches, like free romantic dinners, or breakfast in bed after the ceremony. And in many places - and only this book tells you where - they will even provide all of this for free! You will also learn the low-down that you won't find in any other guidebooks; the secrets and details your travel agent doesn't even know; and, vital information that will help you decide which resort you want to choose.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great time and money saver, March 23, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Most Romantic Resorts for Destination Weddings, Marriage Renewals & Honeymoons (Paperback)

I just spent an hour going through this wedding book and I couldn't believe how much was in there. I had no idea there were many places where they would marry you for free with a whole ceremony, flowers, etc., if I stayed there. This book told me which ones were good for that and how long I would have to stay to qualify (most were only 3-5 days but a few required a week or more so I scratched those off my list) and who I should contact for wedding information. (I liked that they had e-mail addresses for the wedding people.) I also found all the comments from people who had stayed there interesting and I think they will be very helpful. I've gotten back the [money] I spent for this book back easy!

This book is okay if you are interested in a Carribean wedding (most resorts are in Jamaica), however, the pricing is already off if some cases up to $1,000. I was very disappointed to see that there were very few destination sites other than tropical. The title should be The Most Romantic Tropical Resorts for Destination Weddings. However, there are a plethora of resorts listed and if you are aching for a beach wedding it gives you plenty of options.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me to have a wonderful honeymoon!, September 22, 2002

This review is from: The Most Romantic Resorts for Destination Weddings, Marriage Renewals & Honeymoons (Paperback)

I used this book to decide where to go for for my destination wedding and it was easy to look up the hotels (they were listed not only alphabetically but by area) so it saved me a lot of time. I had been trying to research where to have a destination wedding on my own when I found this. I was originally planning on marrying in Europe but found that it's very difficult to marry there if you're American. But this book had resorts in the Caribbean and Hawaii (and Florida in America)where it's easy to have a destination wedding. After looking at all the places in the book, we chose Couples in Negril (the book told us what we needed to know--including that weddings there were free!) and it was wonderful. It's a beautiful book with many pictures of resorts and I'm keeping it to see where we'll go for our first anniverary.
