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 U.S.

The first book to tell you which resorts will marry you or renew your vows FOR FREE if you stay there.

The first book that reveals 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'll even provide all of this for free! You'll also learn the lowdown that you won't find in any other guidebooks. The secrets and details your travel agent doesn't even know. Vital information that will help you decide which resort you want to choose.

Which religious ceremonies are conducted, Whether they obtain the marriage license and fill out the paperwork for you,

Whether it's an adults-only resort,

If children are allowed, whether there are special prices & programs for them,

How large the resort is,

What their web page is and how to contact them by e-mail,

Most important – this book will tell you what these places are really like. Other travel guides only relate the experiences and opinions of the author. This one tells you what hundreds of guests who went to these resorts really thought about them.

Customer Reviews

Absolutely Totally Helpful
This book was absolutely totally helpful when I was trying to figure out where to go for my destination wedding last month . My travel agent (I tried 2) didn't know which places had special wedding programs but this book did. Unfortunately, the book is a couple of years old so when I contacted the places some of the prices and programs had changed but it wasn't that different and the book was still enormously helpful and saved me a lot of time. In the end, I chose one of the places in the book that they said did free weddings (this book told you a lot about these resorts) so it was the best $20 I spent in my wedding and honeymoon planning

Only buy this if interested in a Carribean Wedding
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.

Don't waste your money
This book was a waste of money. The layout was horrible and the information provided extremely general. You're better off using a wedding or travel magazine and a good search engine.
