Casino night?? Who arranged that? That sounds awesome as well. All these ideas and in the same night. I'm going crazy, I want to do all of them...

I have a question for you about the bonfire. I thought Riu was the only place that did it. Did you need a minimum amt of people to get that? Yessica is my WC. I'll have to ask her about it..
I e-mailed Mariana about it since I LOVE the idea, and she said they have a bonfire already set up next to the Barracuda bar (wherever the heck that is! lol), but it is an option for sure.

Woot - go Team Site Visit July/August '07 lol! I think Kate (LALA) is there around the same time too!!

The only reason why I bring it up because my family mentioned something about the my FI's family paying for the rehearsal dinner. if they were planning on paying for a rehearsal dinner in our hometown why wouldn't they pay for the one in Cabo?
IMO, $24 for a rehearsal dinner is not very much at all. We'll be paying around $800 for the entire evening, that includes food, service, location etc. That's pretty good!! But, I've seen some other locations that girls have gone to, and they have found some pretty great locations. It's nice to get off the resort too... just factor in transportation as well.

You are paying for setup, dedicated wait staff, reserved area.

For the location/space and service

Edited to Add: If you try to have your rehearsal dinner at one of the restaurants without paying the $24pp, they won't gaurantee you'll all sit together, and you'll be surrounded by other guests... but if you want to give it a try, then go ahead. I honestly wouldn't do it, I'd rather have the space and the service for my wedding guests, but that's just my personal opinion.

the food is already paid for so if you just wanted it at the restaurant there would be no fee...but you would be eating with the rest of the guests at the resort.

if you want a private event then you have to pay a set up fee...they set up tables and chairs where you want and have seperte staff that caters to just your group. also you get a customized menu.

      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!
