Lauren, I have not been there (freaks me out a bit) but have been to another Paradisus in Punta Cana. I really want to know about the hair and make up costs at the spa. I asked her about bringing a make up artist on site thinking I could just pay the day pass but she told me $300 vendor fee!! They probably wouldn't know if I just got the day pass, right?? I may not chance it though and just go with the spa for my hair and have my sister or someone do my make up.

Welcome Ginger! I'm kind of in the same boat as you with Cecilia. I haven't signed the last page of the contract yet because I'm not 100% sure which date we are arriving on. I will know tomorrow though and have to get back to her.

 

Avong- chill out and aqua include hair and makeup but if you're customizing your own then I guess, ya you will have to find someone. SO, i guess the vendor fee applies to our photographer too huh? ANOTHER $300!? Ouch. That hurts my chequebook!

Lily, I think I'll either do the wish or custom as those seem to be the least expensive when I add up everything I want.

 

The $300 for your photographer is only if they are not guests at the hotel. I found it to be cheaper to fly someone in and pay for them to stay at the resort vs getting someone locally and pay the vendor fee.

Thats's so true. I think I might do that now. I am meeting with a photographer on tuesday so I hope she works out and I can just bring her with me! You aren't doing a dinner then? How many people are coming to yours Avong?

Lily, if you need some recommendations on photographers let me know as I just went through the process and spoke to several that I really liked. Depending on your budget you can find someone really great.

 

I am doing a dinner. I am leaning towards the International Buffet. We think we will have around 50 ppl. We have 30 already booked.

 

I really wanted to do the chill out chic but it's 2500 to have the furniture on the beach! No can do!

I really like the personality of the one i'm meeting on Tuesday so I hope she's good too. What kind of Qs did you ask when you met with yours? My budget is not very big so I can't afford to be too picky...

Lily, there are tons of webites out there to help you with questions. Just google it.

 

For me, what is included in the package, what is their style, how long will it take to get your pictures, will they be retouched, how many photos will they take, how long have they been doing this, have they done destination weddings before, what type of lighting will they use, do they have certain types of lens, backup camera, etc.

      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!
