TedP, I just saw this post. I used Charela Inn years ago. Weddings and renewals are pretty standard fare for most established resorts. Your best bet is for your friends to contact the property they decide on and they will take care of you. I must say my experience at Charela was very good. We had the best tasting wedding cake I can ever remember! They handled everything for me right down to the flower selection for my bouquet. I had some stunning photos taken in my wedding dress on their beach.
