Choosing a wedding venue

01

Hotel, resort or villa?

The type of venue shapes the whole wedding: who else is there, where guests sleep, and how the day moves from ceremony to dinner. Venues include 50 hotels (exclusive use at 29, rooms for guests at 39); 15 resorts (exclusive use at 8, rooms for guests at 12); 11 villas (exclusive use at 9, rooms for guests at 10). With exclusive use the property is yours; elsewhere, ask which rooms and gardens are private on the day.
