The most amazing wedding

Thanks to our great wedding planner, Henriette, we had our dream wedding organized in playa caribe (isla margarita).
It was just perfect with our close family came especially to Venezuela for the occasion, nice weather, a mariachi band, a professional photographer and us!!
I definitly recommend this kind of informal ceremony.

Other than getting married

Margarita doesn't offer much activities other than sunbathing or windsurfing. The coast is nice but the island in itself is just like the rest of venezuela (colorful houses, cars from the 60's and landscapes that didn't match up to what travel guides describe).

Prices are high (really even after changing your money on the black market) but mostly safe for foreigners.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:some nice beaches
  • Cons:the island in itself doesn't have much to offer- expensive compared to other places in the caribean (even w/ the black market exchanges)
  • In a nutshell:i was a bit disapointed by the island and the cold temperatures of the sea

    Nice Margarita pages! I was there also in June 2008 and probably again January 2011-visiting friends who live there. Your observations (also in the forum posting) are the same as mine.....Best wishes, Noel.
