My wife and I got married in Tobago seven months ago. We held our reception at Stoneheaven, and also stayed there for three nights with all our wedding party. The location is fantastic, you really could not ask for more. If you are looking for the perfect place for an exotic destination wedding for a small number of people, look no further! We had our reception in one of the villas, and it was just perfect for our number of guests. It had the right balance of intimacy and luxury. The food was spectacular, and everyone very much enjoyed it. So why are we giving it a terrible rating? Here is the reason.
We had one very negative aspect to an otherwise perfect stay. The wedding coordinator (who comes as part of the Stoneheaven wedding package - at a price, of course) contributed considerably to increasing the levels of pre-wedding stress, especially for my wife as well as for many of the guests who openly complained to us about her (we had to explain that we had not actually chosen her!). She was bossing our guests around right from the start, telling people what they could or could not do, to the point that some of our guests openly confronted her - in more than one occasion. Worst of all, she was not attentive to my wife's requests, and made her increasingly more nervous as the days passed. This approach culminated in the morning of the wedding, which was tarnished by several instances of needless friction. My wife's requests were repeatedly ignored by the coordinator, to the point of bringing my wife to tears. Looking back, seven months later, I quite frankly find the coordinator's approach out of order. Her personality is very much ill-suited for the tasks she is called to perform.
