Hello all,
I've been reading the message board and am very happy about all the great information and about the wonderful opinions so many people have about AC. It makes me think my fiancee and I have made the right choice in deciding to get married on the caye.
Now that I've got some positive reinforcement on that issue, maybe I can find some on the whole planning stage. There is a lot to think about and AC is a long way from DC, so I appreciate the help.
Are there any spots particularly conducive to a simple ceremony? We were thinking on the beach at our hotel, but there must be lots of interesting locales on the island.
What about hotels? If the expected family and friends come for the big event, there will be 5-15 of us, with possibly two children (4, 6). We would like a spot with a variety of expense levels, with a beach where the people (the children) can go into the water without worrying about sea grass, and close to, but not in, San Pedro Town. We've done some internet research and had considered, in no particular order, Corona del Mar, Bananas, and Tropica Belize.
Is there a person on the island who officiates at such services? We are planning on getting our own license before getting to AC (we'll be in the jungle for a few days to meet the three day requirement). We'd also like a little cake, some champagne and a bridal bouquet.
The wedding will be in mid-February. Are there any weather concerns at that time? I've read AC can get windy. So windy we wouldn't want the sand in our eyes on the beach?
It seems a lot of people just buy plane tickets to the island upon arrival in Belize. Are there usually a good number of seats available?
I'm sure there are other issues I am not thinking of, and advice about them would be welcome. I certainly appreciate your comments about anything you think we should know. I'm looking forward to being on AC, and to reading your responses. Thanks.
