The welcome dinner may be reserving a space at a restaurant on site... not sure yet... Claudia says the 2008 menus are not out yet... which I wished I knew before trying to narrow it down on what she gave me for 2007.

 

Jilly! I've missed you!

Yes they are changing... which I didn't know until I asked!

 

I am concerned with hidden fees lke the tablecloths and a few things we take for granted.... I need to know everything up front!

 

Here is her latest email:

 

I have some more questions for you so we can add some more items to our wedding contract:

 

1. Is there a new menu for the 2008 weddings? I noticed the prices for silver and gold are the same in the 2007 menu.

 

We don`t have new menus for 2008 yet

 

2. We had planned to do a welcome dinner, at one of the restaurants the Friday night of 2/1. We were just going to have the normal AI meal plan.

 

there will be a set up fee if you want to use a restaurant for a rehearsal dinner, you need to choose a set menú at the available sittings are 6:00 or 9:30 p.m.

What are the menu options that would be above the AI plan and what would approx costs be for a welcome dinner for our group?

 

World café: international buffet

 

Oceana: seafood

3. Since we are using Claudia Rodriguez for photography, you mentioned we could get an upgraded video package.

yes…

 

What is included in that upgraded video package?

 

more time fort he videographer…

 

4. Is there any decor for the cocktail hour?

 

just cocktail tables and votive caudle holders one each table

 

 

 

If I bring my own, are there any costs associated with the setup or is it included in the Ultimate Dreams package?

 

will have a set up fee…

 

 

 

5. Approximately how many square votives would be needed for the long dinner setup for 50 people?

 

@ 4-6 per table

 

 

 

If you provide the votives, what would the cost be?

 

$ 15 usd per table…

 

6. Is the bar open during the dinner time, or is it closed for a period of time? If so, how long is it closed?

 

is available during dinner…

 

7. Is it possible to have a chocolate and vanilla cake together, different layers?

yes…

 

8. Since the cigar roller is per consumption, do you know the average cost per cigar? (My finace really wants this).

 

@ 10-20 usd each…

 

9. My fiance really wants the fire dancers. When do they normally perform during the night? Middle or end of reception?

anytime you want them…

 

 

 

Muchisimas gracias!

Paula,

Thanks for posting your latest e-mail. Do you know about how many guests you are expecting? What about just letting everyone know to meet at a certain restaurant at a certain time and avoiding the extra cost? I know the World Café has lots of seating. I think Oceana is pretty big too

 

Do you (or does anyone) have a list of the videography packages? I have booked an independent vendor (Paul Schrank), and want to know how much I should ask for in credit.

Thanks!

 

Also...

-Is anyone else writing their own ceremonies?

-What about the actual rehersal (not dinner)...does Claudia or Daniella run these, or should I designate a friend (I'm not sure if I want to take this on myself)?

-Anyone have any idea how much manicure and pedicure are at the spa? What about hair (up-dos)?

 

Thank ladies! I have so much swirling around in my head right now!

Susan, I sort of wrote our ceremony by pulling pieces from other ceremonies, but I think I need to go back and add a couple more things. When I'm done I'll post it.

 

So did I read write that we have to pay for tablecloths?? Please tell me I'm wrong!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
