From the sounds of it not ALL guests originally booked at the Riu Vallarta are being upgraded to the Riu Palace Pacifico. The Riu has actually been really great about this whole change.
I'm glad to hear that they are working with you. You must be getting so excited!

We are considering this. I have to look a little more into it. Did you see anyone get married in the gazebo?
We had our dinner at the Steakhouse. The set up was nice. They provided a book table and we had 3 tables of 10. The only thing was the service was extremely slow. We ran an hour into the time we reserved the pool bar for and they did not exted our time there, so that kind of sucked.

I wish that we would have rented the pool bar for longer. We were having such a good time that we could have stayed longer. I also wish I would have been more specific as far as what pictures I wanted from the photographer.

Mary
They are not included. We tipped the minister and planner separately. We also brought gifts for the wedding planners as well. I think we tipped the minister $50 and the planners $100...maybe more. We also tipped out our bartenders and the waitstaff who served us dinner.

I just booked my wedding for Riu Vallarta for July 15th at 5:00! I'm really excited and everything sounds perfect - the only thing I am a little concerned about is the poolside party being made to close at 11:00! Yikes!! What are some other options for continuing with the party? Is there a disco there everybody can go to or are there other bar areas at the Riu that are open until 1 or 2? I read another persons post where they are renting out the ballroom and planning their own wedding (not getting a package) but that seems like too much of an ordeal for me. I'm trying to get the best stress free wedding possible! :)

There is a disco at the Riu Vallarta and there are a couple of bars that you could go to after the poolside bar gets closed. We planned to go to the disco but honestly we were just too tired the day of the wedding. I think the disco opened at 11 (maybe 10?) and I think it was open until 2 or 3 am.

      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!
