October, 2005 - - Eagle Beach, Aruba - - Suppose you are a top executive from one of the worlds largest and Europe’s most influential travel company, TUI AG. You are planning your wedding and can choose anywhere in the world. In your position you have contracted business with resorts in the most beautiful destinations in the world…Bali, Thailand, the Greek Islands, the Caribbean, the French and Spanish Rivera’s, …all the major cities in the world…and any one of them would consider it an honor and privilege to host your wedding? Where would you choose? Mr. Manfred Lahey of TUI International, based in the Netherlands chose Eagle Beach, Aruba and the Bucuti Beach Resort.
Their wedding was planned with Bucuti management under strict secrecy to preserve an intimate atmosphere and was an elegant affair held on the beach at sunset. Bucuti utilized the enthusiasm and skill of their talented team of associates to produce the elegant wedding of their dreams complete with a blazing orange sunset as the backdrop for parents, family and friends who attended. After the romantic beach ceremony, family and friends joined for a gourmet meal on the beach beneath an open air wedding tent decorated with flowers, creamy crisp linens and candlelight with tuxedoed servers serving on silver service.
“We have known Susan and Ewald Biemans for over 10 years and their resort feels like home to us” states Irma and Manfred. “The Bucuti Beach Resort and Tara Suites are beautiful and their beach is quiet and romantic. We both found it to be the perfect choice”.
