I received a emal from Michael today AGAIN wanting me to fill out the prepayment/booking form. I sent it back with info on what services i want but told him I'm not comfortable sending CC info online and I would be paying cash.

Hi Ochoriobride,

I see that you're getting married around the same time as me and from Canada. Just wondering if you're bringing a photographer from home, a family member or using the services in JA??

Again, we had professional photographers from home do our wedding for free.

Micheal sent me the first e-mail and we just explained that we were having friends and family take pics. He sent me a reply with the info about professional photogs and how they will be escorted off the premaces and we would have to pay a fee. I again responded thanks but no thanks, letting him know that my photogs may have some pretty nice cameras, but that we didn't want interference from him. He responded with a threatening "we'll see". I was furious. I e-mailed the riu wedding dept with no response. But when we got to RIU we explained to Chandlyn that we had the free package with upgrades and that his services were not included nor were they necessary. My husband let it be known that he would not tolerate this on his wedding day, and we saw Micheal, but walked right past him that day with no problems.

BTW I cannot stress enough how much the free wedding package will save you in the long run, even with the upgrades. We had 30 people. We still got the champaign toast with punch for the kids, wedding dinner at Mammees at no charge, rehearsal, rehearsal dinner at St. Ann's, & breakfast in bed the next morning. Some of the flowers would have been free (a little more with the upgrades), but we went with an outside florist.

Yes we do bring a photographer from home. My FI aunt is a photographer and she is coming at our wedding and she offer us to take the pictures for our wedding!
Where in Canada are you from?

    • 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!
