Renting would be way cheaper I think too but I thought I would be able to just 'rent' from the hotel for a reasonable price. Maybe they got confused and thought I wanted to BUY the projector and screen - rofl.gif

 

I guess I'm trying to decide if I really need the slideshow or not (leaning towards not for that price). DH thinks I'm already going crazy on all this stuff anyway and he's not liking the 'extras' I'm planning either! :)

 

Maybe if I need something else (firedancers etc) I'll talk to Maye or another wedding coordinator to arrange this for me.

First and foremost - I totally agree that we Riu girls need to get the Riu section going...

 

also - wowzers that is a big chunk of change for the projector...what about getting poster sized black and white pictures of you guys as kids and mounting them on stakes and placing them around the dance floor or something? Is that retarded?

 

Side note - do you have to pay per person for dinner on the beach or just the set up fee?

Thats a cute idea about the stakes. Another idea is the luminears (sp) with different photos of the 2 of you. Toby dont quote me but I think for the beach reception you pay a set up fee + dinner per person. Kim could Adrianna quoted you a price for the beach reception and the projector together? I would email her back to clarify

Hi girls,

 

Nope the $650 was for the projector and LCD only. I wish it also included the beach reception area! I was quoted $400 for the projector and $250 for the screen! oh my - not a money scam at all!

 

As for the beach reception - there is a fee for the reception location (beach) and then you pay per person for the meal. I think the beach location is $800 for the evening plus $35 per person for the meal. Man, this stuff really adds up. Apparently this also only includes beer and wine for the drinks which is fine with me because people can walk to the bar inside and get other drinks. But if you want an open bar it's $10/person/hour. I think this is all kind of ridiculous since its supposed to be an all inclusive anyway but I'm trying to get over that.

 

Oh and thank you girls for the luminaries and pictures around the dance floor suggestions - I really never would have thought of that! I like it! New crafty project to try!

Oh and yes we have a laptop to drive the presentation but I am so worried about how much stuff we have to take! Our luggage limit is only 44 lbs (20 kg) per person COMBINED!!!! I'm telling everyone to just pack swimsuits and flipflops and it shouldn't be an issue but I have plenty of other little things to bring like programs, fans, luminaries, pictures, guest books, favours, etc. Guess I'm relying on the resort for the centrepieces.

 

I guess the slideshow is out of the question now for sure....no room for a laptop!

    • 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!
