• Accommodation choices (villas vs. rooms; length of stay for room blocks)
• Reception venue + style (ballroom vs. beach vs. private villa dinner)
• Dining experiences (Chef's Table vs. buffet; wine pairings; premium bar)
• Floral + décor (ceremony arch, aisle, centerpieces, reception styling)
• Entertainment (live bands, DJ, Caribbean musicians)
• Photography + videography (full-day coverage, drone shots, albums)

Smart "value" moves at Aurora Anguilla

• Let Rendezvous Bay's natural beauty shine—invest in a statement ceremony arch and keep other décor minimal
• Book Three or Five Bedroom villas for your wedding party (shared cost + built-in gathering space)
• Choose late afternoon ceremonies to transition naturally into cocktail hour and dinner
• Host your rehearsal dinner at Chef's Table (intimate, memorable, no separate venue needed)
• Use Breezes or Merrywing for welcome cocktails instead of a full catered event
• Schedule your wedding during shoulder season (May–June or September–November) for better availability and potential savings
