We cannot say enough amazing things about Coconut Palm Inn—this venue was the heart and soul of our wedding weekend. We hosted a small, intimate wedding with around 40 guests, and having the entire property to ourselves made it feel like a true tropical retreat. From the moment we booked, the experience was seamless and personal with CPI having a true "mom and pop" feel. Tracey was so helpful in the early planning stages, and when Carin joined the team, everything went from great to even more exceptional. As a destination bride, I felt incredibly supported—Carin helped wrangle guests, cued the ceremony, shared behind-the-scenes photos, and made sure every little detail ran smoothly. The staff went above and beyond all weekend, even helping us do laundry before we headed off on our honeymoon! The setting speaks for itself—palm trees, ocean views, private beach. Even the tropical foliage on the non-beach side of the property made for a great photo backdrop! There were so many things for our guests to enjoy — evening s’mores/wine by the fire, kayaking in the bay, and the ability to just walk a few steps back to their rooms after dancing the night away. The post-reception pool party was a highlight for all! A few rooms are on the smaller side, and we do wish the bridal suite had a full-size fridge for all the food and drinks we brought in—but those are tiny details compared to everything else this place offers. We already can't wait to come back for anniversaries in the years ahead. Coconut Palm Inn is a wonderful resort and truly a dream wedding venue!

Baker's Cay Resort was the perfect venue for our wedding. While their communication style required a bit of patience at times, they were overall great to work with and really contributed to making our special day perfect. They were incredibly attentive, watching the weather closely in October and making quick decisions to adjust our plans as needed. Laurel, the event manager, was the best - she ensured everything went smoothly and that we were happy while working with Lauren, our month of coordinator (Lo Key events). I wish I could relive our wedding day at Baker's Cay Resort, it was that amazing!

Choosing Playa Largo for our wedding venue was the best wedding planning decision. From start to finish, the resort staff worked closely with us to make our dream wedding come true. Melissa was so attentive and accommodating, focusing on every detail and ensuring the event was special from start to finish. I contacted several venues and met with many catering managers, but what made Playa Largo really special was Melissa.
