Yes, we had the semi-private, free reception at Mammee Bay & then rented the disco for the "dancing" part of the reception. It all went very well!!! Dinner at Mammee Bay was excellent. None of my guests complained at all about moving to the disco after dinner. But keep in mind that the disco & Mammee Bay are not far away from each other at all. It's literally like right around the corner from each other so its not like my guests had far to go. It was also great to have our private time at the disco, for 2 hours, before it opened up to public. During those 2 hours, we had our first dance, bouquet/garter toss & we gave our speeches there as well.

If you did the private reception at the Plantation & then moved to the disco, that walk is a little farther but don't get me wrong, its still not an unreasonable distance and I don't think your guests would complain too much. Afterall, its a walk that they will probably do a few times while staying at the resort anyway!

I think that the Plantation is very nice & conveinent if you want to have your reception in one place. For us, the main reason we chose Mammee Bay over the Plantation was because of the $ we saved. Even though Mammee Bay is "semi-private", it totally felt like we were the only group there.
All in all, if I had it to do over again, I would do it the same way & wouldn't change a thing. Hope this helps!
And thanks for the compliments on the pictures!

well we are actaully getting married at RIU Negril. i have been 2 other RIU resorts before, but not to this particular one. in the others, the club was not a far walk at all from the restaurants. i'm hoing it's the same situation. i guess i have 2 talk 2 my FI and see what he wants to do. although he'll just pick whatever is cheaper! i don't think he realizes that we are spending a lot less money then we would have if we decided 2 do everything @ home! so frustrating!! (that was my little venting part..LOL)

      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!
