How much did you girls tip D.J. Mannia and Landy? I know I've seen this a million times, but if someone wouldn't mind sharing that would be great.

Also, let me know what you think about this...my ceremony is at 6:00, and we have d.j. mannia, so basically, if we did cocktail hour at 7-8, we wouldn't be done eating dinner until like 8:30-9, and have to be done with d.j. mannia at 10:30? I think that's not long at all...so, I'm thinking of a cocktail hour before the wedding? From 5:00-6:00, wedding at 6:00-6:30, and rite after group pics, the guests can head to the reception and begin eating rite away. I'm not concerned about eating honestly, I'm sure I'll get it in at some point..that way, we could get moving with d.j. mannia, etc. Let me know your thoughts, and if anyone can weigh in on how much photos, reception actually take, please let me know!!!

Thanks!!!
Lonna
you're right, that sounds tight. Plus many brides have said dinner service is slow, I think you should plan more like 1.5 hours. Which would bring you to 9:30pm. But many brides have been allowed to have music till 11pm. So it's up to you if 1.5 hours is enough.

You could always skip the cocktail hour if you want. Just a suggestion.

We are super excited to do our site inspection this August and pick our date.   Did any of the brides negotiate room specials/deals?   Any tips before we head down in less than 2 months?

Once again, frustrating how there seem to be inconsistencies!!!

But then what is the difference between the half day and full day if neither includes breakfast? The way I read it was the full day included breakfast.

A friend of mine took a pic of the food before he ate it because he couldn't see it! It looked really good! The pic is burried somewhere in my photos on photobucket. You could feel the sand hitting you a little and it did seem to blow in my face quite a bit.

hope this helps. If you have any other questions, just shoot me a message.

Thanks for the help Katie. I am thinking about having the reception inside instead since I am getting married in December and just want to make sure the weather won't affect the dancing/food. :) This was extremely helpful.

Lonna I am def. in for a drink! I can't wait! I also think that the cocktail hour before sounds soooo great...(almost an idea I might consider myself!)

 

 

Girls-- Thank you all for the response on the day pass...I will probably try to get the half day cost!

 

Sorry another question, has anyone done their wedding with Natalia? I just found out she is our wedding planner and wanted to get your thoughts on your experience with her. Thanks!

Sorry for the misunderstanding, I was trying to point out the difference. The half-day does not include breakfast, whereas the full day does. From what I see, that appears to be the only difference. Strange that breakfast costs $25??

Yes, that is exactly what I was saying too.

Hi Lonna, seems like your priority is to have more time for music and dancing afterwards so heres a thought... as you dont mind your guests seeing you before the ceremony at your cocktail hour why dont you start even earlier and get all your group pictures done beforehand as well.

You could even get your couple shots done too, it may seem like a pain to be ready this much earlier than your ceremony but in my opinion we dont get to wear our dresses for long enough on the day any-way!

That way you could have much more time after and get to eat, I know you say you dont mind not eating but you're gonna need something after a full day of chaos and champagne!

Its nice to see people thinking about doing things a little differently, I think a DW really gives us the opportunity to think outside the box.

Good Luck with everything.

      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!
