Marriott Aruba Hotel, Ocean, and Surf Club: Our Location

I feel the ceremony and Reception should be at the same place. Everyone is staying at the Marriott that have let us know thus far, plus I found a villa that is really close to the Marriott to hold additional family and friends (up to 22 people).

Looking at the Sleeps 22 people. For New Years Week, I don't even know if I shared that we set the date. Sunday, December 30th, 2012! So for New Years week it is $9,975 total ($454 per person for 7 days). If you have ever been to Aruba this is an amazing deal! You also get the kitchen so everyone doesn't have to eat out every day. 

Love the Swim up bar in the House!!

Until next time....
