Riu Palace Cabo RECEPTION!


Recommended Posts

Hi to all previews or upcoming Riu Palace Brides,

 

Any suggestions whether to use a Mariachi band or DJ for the reception at Riu Palace Cabo?

 

Will they allow you to do half and half?

 

 

Thanks!!! Appreciate any advice as their isn't much information and reviews about this.

Hi, does the resort have a specific mariachi band they work with? What's the cost to have them play for your ceremony? Thanks!

 

I want to say $600 something. I am looking at having mariachi's play during the cocktail hour and just have an i pod during the reception.

I'm going to do the same thing - either mariarchi or classical live music during the ceremony and bringing an ipod for the reception (I highly suggest Cafe Del Mar music for during the dinner!).  According to the 2010 pricing they sent me (and they do mention they expect it to go up for 2011):

 

Mariachi per 45 min (10 persons) $600.00 usd
Trio Mariachi (03 persons) $400 usd

 

Is anyone else renting out private space for the dinner?  And where are you holding your cermonies?

I'm renting out the Mexican Terrace for the reception and having the ceremony at the San Jose gazebo.

Hi Lolita29,

 

Did they allow you to book/rent the terrace already?  Reason I ask is I was told by my travel agent that these details are finalized after they have the numbers for your wedding (a few months before your wedding date).

 

We're booked at the Palace for Feb 18, 2011, I noticed your wedding day is in May 2011.  Let us know!

I think we're going to do our first dance during the cocktail hour. As for speeches that will be during dinner at the restaurant. And my uncle is actually a DJ so he MC all the party's lol .

    • 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!
