we are looking at having an affordable wedding in either the san juan islands or cancun/surrounding area. My main "want' is an outdoor wedding. in cancun it looks like we could do a fairly affordable wedding (+/-10k), however my concern is the room cost for our guests... travel + hotel. does anyone have experience with good resorts/hotels? we would prefer accommodations other than a high rise hotel in cancun - but it looks like that might be the cheapest way to go.
we will likely have around 75 guests if in mexico, closer to 150 in the san juans (we live in oregon). any advice is welcome!
the other option is san juans... which would probably be july/august due to the weather, however we are cutting it close with trying to find a place that is available, and i haven't even started looking into prices.
i'm hoping the selection of the venue and the dates are the most difficult portions! we are a little lost here (literally, my fiance just glanced at me from his computer screen and said "i have no idea what i'm doing).
thanks for your help!!!
