any one planning there wedding with out a W>C ?

We are thinking of just having a small simple wedding some thing on the beach 30 people max then just reserving at a restaurant for the reception dinner dont know if its worth the cost of a wc but then again I have no ideal what the cost of a minaster,chairs, flower arch, would all come to eather

good thing I have a lot of time to figure it out !!!!!

I've done my whole wedding w/out a w/c... I just posted my planning thread today. We are having about 47 guests. Chairs are quite pricey for us but we've actually done quite well. We're only spending $4650. Although for our minister.... we're really doing our legal marriage at home so we have a family friend being ordained online and he's performing our marriage. You can do it if you really want to.

i was married at an AI. we had 23 guests. the hotel WC handled it all. The cost was $350 for the whole package. It was very easy.

Depending on where you are going for you DW I think most hotels assign you a wedding coordinator for free? We just used the free package and our wedding coordinator was assigned for free too. Maybe call the resort you are staying at and they should know for sure.

If you aren't looking for anything fancy in means of decor and all the glitz, you can totally do it yourself. PM and I can send you a conceirge's phone number in PV, she can help you with your rentals for a small fee.

Also I know someone who has a villa in PV that could host a wedding for 30 people. You could get married pool side then have the house chef prepare dinner. It would be very intimate and romantic. Also Casa Kalista, you can book it through casabayvillas.com Please let Jennifer know I referred her, this villa hosts small weddings and the house chef is one of the best in town, he is able to cook with his team for a wedding up to 80 people. This villa also has an amazing view, is affordable, 12 guests can stay there and you could have the rest at the near by Barcelo all-inclusive or other villas, the grounds are very lush so you really don't need a lot of decor it is beautiful just the way it is. Again if you need more info PM. I also know of a villa that does just events for a good price.

Happy planning

Wow thanks for all the info!!
