Why Engagement Rings Are a Scam – Adam Ruins Everything
Places to Elope – Complimentary Weddings in Aruba Or Dominican Republic
This is the second installment of our series on how to receive a free or complimentary wedding with the purchase of a honeymoon package. In our previous article, we discussed free weddings in the Caribbean – specifically Jamaica, Bahamas, St Lucia and Antigua.
Holiday Inn Sunspree Resort: The Holiday Inn Sunspree resort of Aruba is one of the most inexpensive of all the resorts that we surveyed. Your free wedding package includes a professional planner, island themed decorations and a small one tier wedding cake. You will also receive a complimentary bouquet, boutonniere as well as a candlelit dinner for two. Sunspree Resort provides a nondenominational pastor to serve as officiant, marriage certificate and some legal fees are included as well. There is a minimum stay of seven nights in their "superior room" which has an ocean front view. Rates began at roughly $290 per night.
Occidental Resorts of The Dominican Republic or Aruba: Occidental has several resorts in the Dominican Republic, Aruba and Mexico. The Occidental Grand has a complimentary wedding package available when you book a minimum stay of seven nights in a Royal Club Master Suite. Their price point begins at $730 and is at the top of the list in terms of price of all the resorts that we have examined. Their package includes the normal on-site wedding consultant, fresh floral arrangements, officiant (judge) and document services as well as a cake and breakfast in bed the following morning. Photo and video services are, of course – extra.
If we were to recommend one of the three, it would definitely be Excellence Resorts, their price point is fairly reasonable and the grounds are simply breath-taking!
