Does the fantasy of a barefoot-on-the-beach wedding have you scoping out options in the Caribbean? The Dutch island of Aruba may be the perfect spot.
The 559-room Renaissance Aruba Resort and Casino offers a unique experience for your guests—a celebration held on the resort's private isle, Renaissance Island. (It's a 10-minute boat ride away via hotel ferry.) Watch as your guests—up to 300 of them—delight in the iguanas and flamingoes that tread along the lagoon and sun on the wooden-plank walkways. Marry on the beach, then party the night away on a waterfront patio with a palapa bar. Choose a Caribbean-style barbecue buffet, with coconut coleslaw and locally caught snapper, or a sit-down West Indies dinner of conch chowder and chicken baked in Gouda, with sweet Aruban flan for dessert.
