Wedding idea help

My fiancée and I were set with our planning to have a wedding in Medellin, at a nice hacienda. But, now she is thinking that we won't have enough people attending to make it the event she had in mind.

For me, I always would have been happy to be married just me and her alone on some beach, boat, or mountain top... or something like that. But, I figured she always dreamed of having a wedding with her family present, and I really had no strong preference one way or another, so a wedding in Colombia was thus our plan.

Now that we realize we may have as few as 5-6 people attending, she told me that she might better like my idea of Hawaii or such. I replied that we could do something real small, but still do Colombia, so her mom could attend.

OK, so now we get to my question. Does anyone have an idea for a place to get married - something you read about or maybe you attended a nice similar wedding - on a beach or mountain top or boat or something like that - but in Cartegena or Santa Rosa or the park to the east (Torona?)? Or in the mountains of Medellin?

I know a little of Medellin from four very short trips there, but I know nothing of the coast.

Thanks!

I married my... wife at Poblando Plaza in Medellin. Ours was a small wedding (20-25) people. We had a ton of flowers, live music, a sit down gourmet style meal, champagne, three hours of photographer and videographer. Extremely nice room.

Cost was under $2,000.00 U.S. and we bought a lot of clothing for relatives.
