In the Hotel Zone, a beach ceremony gives you a bright sea and soft light, a rooftop keeps the warm sun longer, a lagoon faces the actual sunset and a garden protects you from wind. Choose by the look you want and how long the walk is.
Venue lists tell you the capacity and the price. Neither one tells you what your photos will look like. Here is how each type of setting behaves, wherever you marry.
Four Types of Setting
The beach. Classic. The sun sets behind you, so the light on faces is even. Waves can be loud south of the point.
A rooftop. Warm light stays longer, and you see over the sand to the sea.
The lagoon. The only real sunset over water.
A garden. Sheltered and shaded, a good backup in wind.
What to Ask
Which way does the aisle face at my hour? How far to the reception? Where do we go if it rains? Is there a charge for outside vendors? See our shortlist of the best Hotel Zone resorts for wedding photos.
