I will be gettinb married at the "old" RIU - only becuase the new one doesn't open until Winter 2007. My understanding is that the new one with be a "Hotel" class, and the old one is the "Palace" - meaning from what I can tell - if you stay at the Palace, you can use the ammendities at the Hotel, but not the other way around....

Hi Toby!
I had the exact same problem and I totally understand your frustration. You should try calling them? Do you have their number? Let me know if you need it and I will look for it.

Do you have a specific date in mind? When I reserved my wedding for October, 2007 I don't think there were dates available for the weekends. I didn't want a weekend so I was ok with that.

Let me know if I can help.

Aimee.

thanks for the help - i called the number that was listed earlier on the site but they asked me to call back in half an hour - I will try again then. I just want to secure a date, my photographer and order my dress...lol...those are the pressing things that have to be done apparently now - keep reading other girls posts who are so far ahead of the game than me and it makes me panic-y...lol...

I don't have much planned as well. I have my date reserved, my reception place reserved and that's it! Wait, I lied. I also have my dress!

 

The next thing on my list is to find a photographer but I can't seem to find one. I would like to use Juan but I don't think he fits into my budget and I'm sure he's already booked.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have been trying to get information out of the Riu for almost a month now. Do you have the 2007 price guide that you could send me? I am looking at an October wedding. How much is it for a ceremony/cocktail hour and reception? I am trying to decide between the Riu and Dreams and I am leaning toward Dreams because the Riu is not sending me what I need. They keep referring me to the website which does not give me prices. I finally received pictures from them of ceremy and reception setups but no prices. Also did they allow you to block rooms for your guests and if so how much was it to reserve the rooms and what was the group rate that was given to you? Help if you can:) Lisa

smile159.gif In case you all didnt know, I am a total control freak and am desperate for any and all info - I have been contacting girls on tripadvisor etc who have been married at Riu Cabo for their info etc - here is one response I just received.

 

All in all, I thought the RIU was great for the money I paid. Veronica (the wedding coordinator) was a little flighty and hard to contact (even while staying there), but she got the job done and my wedding turned out great. We did have our reception at the Mexican Restaurant (I really liked the food there). The only thing I didn't like about it was the way the restaurant is situated. The area that you sit in is long and somewhat narrow, so it was like we were sitting at one long table and not able to socialize well with everyone. Plus, the dance floor is at one end and around the corner so when we did our first dance, people had to get up and walk over to see it. Oh - and it was sweltering hot and Veronica was no where to be found and we couldn't get them to raise the sun shade to let a breeze in. Honestly though, I don't think you could have the reception at any other restaurant there because all the other restaurants are small. The actual ceremony was perfect - except for the fact that my mariachi's were 20 minutes late. But..... I'm married and had the most amazing time. We loved staying at the RIU. It was perfect for us and all of our crazy guests b/c it's all inclusive so we were able to eat & drink whatever and whenever we wanted. Plus, they have a swim up bar which is pretty much where we all (60 of us) migrated. :)

    • 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!
