I am from uk asnd have been looking at wedding in Greece but Ive found out it will be around £4000 not including spending money . I thought about having wedding outside EU as it’s so exspensive at moment .
It’s for next year. Also I am a teacher so needs to be in school hols and it seems id I have to have two weeks it’ll have to be in July for Greece . I am concerned it will be too hot and too busy.
So I thought aboiut Florida . I want an outside wedding near the sea . Maybe beside beach or on grass with sea view .
I could go to Florida in April for two weeks as it’s easter holidays . Not sure if guests will approve ten hour flight but if same price can’t see why not .
Some want to rent villas anyway . Also wouldn’t have too worry about language barrier .
What dp you think ? Or are weddings in Florida just as costly ..where could I marry there ?
Thanks
Look into getting married the Florida Keys. Key West is a huge destination wedding location, but there are some lovely places in Islamorada and Key Largo, also.
We’re planning a trip to San Diego in March. We’re looking at a condo at Mission Beach and one in Oceanside. Both are on the beach, but I don’t know anything about these areas.
1) How’s the area around Mission Beach?
2) How’s Oceanside?
I don’t want to end up renting a beautiful condo that is in an awful area where is gross, disgusting, and where I wouldn’t want to take my kids.
Any insights anyone has would be welcome.
Betty B: thanks for the quick reply! Do you have any other suggestions for a vacation in the San Diego area? We have two 7 year olds, and want to be near lots of fun!
If you get in the southern end of Oceanside on the beach, or in Carlsbad or Encinitas I think you’d be happy. I live in Encinitas and so maybe I’m a little prejudiced, but Moonlight Beach in Encinitas is very family friendly, a bit off the beaten track, and Encinitas is a funky beach town with fun places to eat. And only a few minutes drive from Legoland in Carlsbad…heaven for your little ones and fun for you too.
Mission Beach is ok but more for the young adult crowd. Lots of drinking going on in the area. The city council just voted to ban alcohol on that beach because of Labor Day rioting by a bunch of drunk hostile 20somethings. Even though the alcohol ban just went thru, there’s lots of bars nearby and people will still be drunk around there (and most of the rentals in the area attract the drinking crowd), so stay away from rentals in the boardwalk area.
I’d recommend the south Oceanside-Carlsbad-Encinitas corridor for a beachside rental. All very family friendly and a low key casual atmosphere, and near Legoland. Carlsbad also has a factory outlet mall…high end…and the flower fields which might not be quite blooming yet…depends on the weather. Also the Museum of Making Music.
Also you might look into what Coronado might offer if you can afford the Hotel Del Coronado. Great beach for the kiddies and a very safe place. Also very central as just a quick drive over the bridge and you’re in downtown San Diego near the zoo and Balboa Park.
Paradise Point Resort, while in the Mission Beach/Pacific Beach area, is in a fairly self-enclosed area that is all about kids…you might check them out. They are also close to Seaworld.
