Hi Ann - wow, that was fast. Thanks for moving my message!
We're not sure where anymore. We've been looking into Costa Rica's Manuel Antonio area for the past 6 weeks, but the wedding planner I felt comfortable with wasn't able to get back to me earlier than Friday, and the rate she quoted for 75 people turned out to be more than $20,000, which was about what we were shooting for for the whole thing (travel and accommodations included). (Not sure that's even realistic anymore.)
Since we haven't given any guests notice yet, June/July suddenly seems overwhelming, so I started checking out alternate locations for September/October. I'm not sold on Hawaii, but would like a beautiful beach area. We've been thinking Mexico or the Carribean, and I'd like to shoot for a low season somewhere that won't put me in hurricane or overly rainy conditions. Any suggestions welcome!
