Thank you so much, ladies!!! Between the amazing photographers and all the thoughts and idea sharing done on this forum, you ALL take some credit!!

 

Elizabeth, we had a dinner in an open restaurant (Sea Side Grill) but had our own large secluded table and wait staff, so we didn't have to pay for a private reception. It worked out perfect for our group of about 20 since the age range was 8-79 and no one there was a real partier. We enjoyed each others company, laughed A LOT, ate fabulous food and then before we knew it, it was time for "cake". I chose to have a dessert hour instead of a cocktail hour and Sharron (our WC) set it all up. We had alllll kinds of desserts laid out, and even an open bar!! During this time we had hired the Fire Dancers to come for some entertainment and it was incredible!! Then we cut the cake. The night went by so fast!!! Then we were up before dawn for our TTD session...I'm exhausted just typing that and thinking about it, LOL!

 

The Dreams website has a Wedding Guide you can find out a lot of information on regarding your questions about packages, options and photos. I found Melissa Green on this forum and she suggested Summer Hooke...one of the best decisions I've ever made!!! I would STRONGLY urge you to bring your own photographer if you can. It was one of my top priorities for my wedding and I'm SOOOOO happy with that decision!

 

I know I said this last week, but I promise that I'll have my review up this weekend!!!

I'm working on my review, but in the mean time, some of our photos have been blogged!!! Check out these awesome shots from Melissa Green!!! Melissa Green Photography | Utah Wedding Photography, Boudoir and Modern Photojournalist

I was lucky enough to have Melissa and Summer photograph our wedding and it was THE BEST decision I could have made. The only things I got to take away are my husband, my memories and my photos. That's a LOT to trust with anyone and we couldn't have chosen a better team to work with. I'll write more in my review!! I promise!!

Nat, as you can see from the pics if you get a chance to look at them, we got married in the gazebo. I was SUPER happy with that choice. The beach is nice, but I like the scenery and greenery around the gazebo more. I didn't want the audience that a beach wedding brings. We still had some onlookers, but not nearly as many as if it was on the beach.

I took lots of pictures of Bordeaux terrace because that's where we were going to have our "dessert hour" with the fire dancers. When Sharron checked with the schedule of the fire dancers, they said "no way" to Bordeaux because of the wooden pergola structure. It's definitely got to be my favorite view, but we had to do Himitsu due to the fire hazard. I have family photos if you'd like me to send you some. It's the perfect place for lanterns and you can put tons of them up if you'd like!
Congrats Christina! Your pics are great, and I love that they can pull up that God awful red carpet! Sorry to all the brides that are using it, it's just my opinion :)

Can you send me some pictures of the Bourdeax Terrace please. My email is [email protected].

Thanks and congrats again :)

Jenn - I feel ya, my childhood best friend also bailed, claimed it was too expensive since she is moving back to the region which I understood... then a month later booked a big trip elsewhere. Since I found that out, we haven't spoken... I was brokenhearted (still am). Hope that doesn't happen to you!

 

Those who really want to be there WILL be there... it's a real eye opener! Don't feel bad about the BM situation.. my fiance started out with 5, went down to ONE, and now has two (he asked another buddy). Not even his brother is going, citing some b.s. reason that I don't buy. Don't worry though, as long as you and your FI go, that's what's important! love.gif

Jenn: I totally agree with Nat, as long as you 2 are there, that's all that matters.

 

I had my BM drop out when I moved my wedding to 2010 just so 2009 would be dedicated to her wedding and she got preggy on her honeymoon so can no longer attend our wedding. Talk about being pissed! I mean if you obligate yourself to be in someone's wedding or say you are going be there, then you need to find a way to make it work in my opinion. So I totally feel your pain.

 

However the SHOW will still go on, so kill them with kindness and put all your AWESOME pictures up on Facebook when you get back and let them sit in there misery when they see them! That's my plan!! haha :)

      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!
