Just got back from our wedding at Dreams and it was fantastic! We used the gazebo and then had our private beach party reception on South Beach. It was absolutely perfect in every way. They are fantas

I tried emailing Ana (hopefully I had the correct email in the first place??)- This is the message I got last night. FYI, or maybe I am the last to know? :)

This process is so frustrating and not knowing what I need and do not need from Ana is starting to wear on my nerves!! ha ha!!

Here is another link to photos if anyone is interested. It looks like they had their ceremony on the pool deckhuh.gif I actually like the set up of the chairs w/o bows so I might forget about my chair bows. Also, I love her flowers and I am assuming this is what mine will look like since I want pink callas.

I did the same thing.. when it started frustrating me and just being a source of aggrivation instead of joy I took a week or so off and didn't even THINK about anything wedding related :) It helped! But for everyone who seems to think destination weddings are "no stress" they are crazy. If one more person says this to me I might scream! I feel like it's more stress because nobody answers your questions like they would for a regular wedding!

Hi Girls! I hear you!! Response times from the resort are outrageous. I ask a couple questions and then try to forget about it for a week b/c I know I won't get an answer for that long!!!

This website has been a great for my sanity...I just come here when I can't get answers from the resort!!!!

ha ha I totally feel the same way Ashly, I keep telling people we are getting married in Mexico and they are oh yeah must be cheap and easy, and I want to be like well its actually more per person than it would be to do it at home, and I am spending countless hours because we dont actually have the luxury of meeting these vendors and actually knowing who it is that we are sending thousands of dollars to! When ever people try to tell me its cheap by now I am like well, we have to pay USD 15 per person per hour for the cocktail hour, or just to extend alchohol at the reception, and they are like oh really its not all free? sigh

 

At the end of the day though I am sure all of our days will be beautiful and exactly how we want them, its just quite a battle to get there!

I believe her general rule is you can substitute it for a similar service. You cannot substitute hair for food... but you could substitute hair for another spa service.... does that make sense? We were able to substitute the cocktail hour for additional guests at the reception because they are both food/beverage items. She also has said that I can substitute a bridal bouquet for a centerpiece, but it has to be the same service provider (salon, florist, photographer, ect)

What about videographer for photographer? I know that in one of the pkgs you get a 30 min video or video of the ceremony-- does anyone know if we can get that extended or longer in lieu of the photographer?

rds I would imagine you can, a number of ladies on here are bringing in outside photographers and were able to get video for that, so I would imagine if you already have video with that vendor you would be able to extend it in lue of pictures

 

honestly Ana has been coming up with some outrageous fees, the fact that the DJ is over twice what they actually cost to be is just dumb founding, that being said we started our planning with the reception and after allot of frustrated hours and lack of sleep were actually to get over 1/3 off the original 'posted' price and get a whole bunch of other stuff included in the price that originally were note... my point being I think that this stuff is up for negotiation.

what DJ Are you using? What price were you quoted originally? And what about now? We were originally not going to use a DJ and now we are thinking we are- so we need to start over with this!

      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!
