I am getting married in November of 2010 so it's so awesome to see another wedding around the same time of year!!

 

For your hair/makeup appts...did you book those through Cecilia or directly with the Spa? And how fair in advance did you have to book them?

 

One other question...how far in advance did you feel your guests needed to book their/flights rooms etc? When we went to visit Dreams it was over Thanksgiving and it was completely booked (which may have just been due to that timing); however, I want to make sure there's room for my guests!! :)

I actually called the spa a few months in advance and booked appointments for my entire wedding party. There are only a couple ladies who do hair and make up so I would say better safe than sorry. It would stink if they booked up and someone in your party was without an appointment.

As far as airfare goes, I watched it for a while. At one point it dipped down really low and I emailed everyone immediately and told them they were running a big risk if they didn't book. Our round trip airfare only cost $280 and it hovered around $600-700 most of the time. All of the people who were definites booked and got that amazing rate.

I also recommended that people book their rooms as soon as possible. Once I set up a reservation code with the hotel, I mailed out save the dates with all the information. I ended up booking a lot of guests rooms including my wedding party and family so they were guranteed. They don't charge you anything to do that and have a great cancellation policy (48 hrs?). At the time we went, I would say the hotel was at 75% capacity so there was no risk of running out of rooms, but you never know. I would tell your guests to ere on the side of caution and book a room and then cancel if plans change.

    • 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!
    • 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!
