She not only helps brides plan “the big day,” she serves as a valued source of guidance, inspiration and support with plenty of personal “hand-holding” that includes consulting and orchestrating all wedding day details, arranging rehearsal dinners and securing preferred rates for all guests. All-encompassing services range from assistance with civil regulations and marriage license needs to menu selections, floral arrangements, entertainment, photography/videography, wedding cakes, and gifts for the bridal party.



2. Year ‘Round Sunny Weather. The resort is entirely outside the hurricane belt with constant

82-degree temperatures, brilliant sunshine, and cooling trade winds that offer confidence to brides planning a wedding during what are traditionally considered rain or snow seasons.

7. Award-winning, world-class oceanfront Larimar Spa. With nine treatment rooms, including those for couples massage, this full-service spa and salon (with hair and nail specialists) pampers brides, grooms and their guests. Known for treatments incorporating indigenous island ingredients, the resort’s 13,000-square-foot spa is the most comprehensive in Aruba and a favorite of spa connoisseurs.
