I am freaking out, the menu that was sent to me today, is not the same

very limited food selection and prices have went up. So I have 2 menus for 2008 not sure which one is current. I did email the WC to see what's going with the menus .Then they want to charge $4.50 for water, I do not understand that, $4.50 for tap water in pitcher is crazy!!!! I hope the meant $4.50 for bottle water.

The 2008 menu is definatly different from their 2007. It seems a little more "upscale to me". Mara said that they can stil use the 2007 menu, but there will be a 6% increase in price. Also, if you are doing an open bar, the domestic includes soda and bottled water.

Be firm with her. Whatever menu she gave you when you signed the wedding contract is the one they need to honor. It doesn't matter if prices have gone up since then, what they gave you originally is what you were told you would be paying. Find the list she originally gave you and make your selections off of that. Don't be afraid to push back on this. They nickel and dime you there, so make sure you read and follow up on everything.

 

Oh, and although it's expensive, I suggest going with the open bar rather than paying on consumption. There will be no way to track who is drinking what and you don't want to spend your wedding day freaking out that the bar tab is getting high. At least this way, your guests can drink as much as they want and you know exactly what the bill will be in the end. No stress and no confusion.

I had my wedding there on 7/7/07 and I just wanted to give the heads up to watch the bar. We did the pay per drink and they opened wine bottles all around at dinner without our request so there was a huge charge for the wine that most people did not drink. I wouldn't worry too much about the food cost, it's fabulous.

I recently also got another menu from Mara. However, I emailed her and made sure that the previous menu, the one I got when I signed the contract, was still applicable. She assured me that it was and said that I could pick off of either one.

Jen is totally right. Whatever menu and PRICES that were sent to you when you signed your original contract are the ones you must insist upon (unless I guess you want to pick a new item from the newer menu). I would also highly advice doing an open bar versus a consumption bar. We went on consumption and the bill was MUCH higher than expected (long story). What we did do however was have bottled water taken off the menu and insisted that pitchers of tap (filtered of course) water be placed on every table. I imagine this saved a LOT of money.

 

They also opened and served red and white wine at dinner but I liked this so it didn't bother me. However you could certainly request that this not be done if you feel your guests would not be ordering it anyway.

    • 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!
