To the past brides: what did you all do for table decor for the reception? From the list tht Dulce sent me, centerpieces and other decor is very expensive. I was thinking of making my own centerpieces, but Im not sure how I will manage traveling with glass etc. Any suggestions or advice? Thanks!

It's a standard outlet. No need for converters

From what I have heard in my talks with another bride, and by looking at her pictures. You get your "Own" bar with a bartendar and wait staff. They make a table into a bar full of booze! That was for a dinner event with 15 people.

Also this is my dad's friend and I heard all of this from my dad (the person we invited didnt RSVP yet but told my dad he is coming). I dont know for sure if that is true or if he will come since he has another couple joining him and his girlfriend. It sound more like he is going on vacation and may stop by... Should I count them or wait until I get a definite answer of YEShuh.gif Also I dont want to reserve 4 day passes and they not show and then I'm out $350!!!!! That money could go to something else vs. people we dont know! Also am I obligated to pay for a day pass for the couple that we DONT KNOW? They werent even invited.
You don't have to decide on the day passes until your meeting. Then they ask you to list names and when they will need the pass. Maybe by then you'll know if they are coming?
Also, they just charge the passes to your room so you pay at check out. I would double check but maybe you could reserve the passes and if they don't show up you won't be chargedhuh.gif

I got mine through the resort. For me the cost was worth it not to drag stuff down to Mexico and back esp since I wouldn't want to keep any of the decor afterward.
Sorry can't be of more help in regards to bringing stuff down. My advice though...don't over due it. Let the location be the "centerpiece".

They set up a bar ust for your party and have bartenders/waiters etc. That's why you pay extra for a private event.

It's not even anything major! Just the little details... I thought when it got closer she would respond in a more timely manner. Currently going on 1 week with not hearing anything. Should I be worried or am I just getting antzy?! Does anyone have more details or pictures of the "new" gazebo on the Spa side? I just saw one picture and it looks beautiful!!! Crossing my fingers we get it! =)
ME TOO!!! Ugh I'm SO frustrated with her! My wedding is June 5th, and I thought she'd pick up the pace with responding. So far, I've initiated all contact with her and everything I know is from this forum, and because I had to ASK her for the info. I don't feel like I'm being guided through any kind of process at all, and 3 weeks away from the wedding I have NO idea what I'm supposed to be doing to prepare. I almost want to ask for another coordinator. When is your wedding exactly, FutureMrsRell?

Thanks!! My FI is worried about table decor more than I am. Hes been complaining to me lately-its so cute! But youre right, it might be worth paying the extra dollars and not have to deal with the hassle. I just didnt want to have a plain jane wedding. Im sure we can head over to playa del carmen and find some cute little things and the guests can take them home as favors! :)

Sorry you are experiencing this too! No tip for her!!! wink.gif I sent two emails and she finally responded to ONE of them 8 days later, still waiting to hear back on my second email. However, one thing that is making me a little more relaxed, is she did tell me we are the only wedding that day. So, I'm assuming we will get the gazebo and dinner place we want. I just don't want to spend a lot of time with her when we get there. I can only imagine what kind of mood that will put my FI in! I'm still waiting for her to send the ceremony, the info on the spa and excursions. The ceremony is what I'm most concerned about right now. Good Luck! Oh yeah, we get married June 8th! =)

Yikes! my wedding is 6 months away and I get nervous when she doesnt respond quickly to me...if it were only a few weeks away I would be having a heart attack!!! hopefully she'll respond soon...if not, try to relax and be confident that our wedding is occuring in paradise, so no matter what it will be beautiful :)

    • 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!
