Hi Everyone,

 

It's been awhile. While we initially concentrated on Cabo and Mexico in general, it appears we now planning on Hawaii. Although the boards seem to focus on Mexico, I'd like to know if anyone's ever had a wedding in Kauai during the winter on the south side (i.e. Poipu). As for Maui, is it impossible get condos during the holiday season (December 18 - January 6) there without committing to 14 nights? Please let me know any thoughts any of you might have. Our favorites right now are the Grand Hyatt Regency Kaui and Grand Wailea. Thank you all!

I can't help you with the Hawaii stuff, sorry! But I did want to say I'd love to know what you find out, since we will be planning our honeymoon in Hawaii ... and neither of us have ever been!

 

I am sure some of the girls will have tips and information for you. Tammy (host) is a travel agent specializing in destination weddings and honeymoons, so she is always a wealth of info. when it comes to these things.

 

Good luck!

hi ed, i am in the process of planning a wedding for a friend at grand wailea. what would you like to know.

 

regarding, holiday travel in hawaii....it is soooo hard to find condos and rooms during that time w/o planning far in advance so this is nt great for a Destination wedding when people like to wait until the last moment to book.

We were hoping to make several bookings for our friends. We don't plan on more than 50 people at the wedding. However, in Maui, we've noted that most places require a 14 night stay. Are there exceptions anywhere, or is this policy uniform? Also, we were very interested in Kauai, but were concerned about rain. We like Grand Hyatt, which is on the south side of the island. Do you have any experience with weddings at this site? Have any been in the winter? Finally, as a travel agent, have you booked group rates for airlines and condos for Hawaiian destination weddings? Thanks.

the dates you posted in the first post are PRIME holiday dates so it would not be advantageous of condo owners to break those dates up because they know they could probably rent them for at least a week at a time.

it is not impossible to find a condo for less than 2 weeks during the holiday season but be prepared to pay a lot for this luxury and also know that you may not get the condos you want.

if it were me, i would NOT plan a large Destination wedding in hawaii at this time of year. not only is lodging expensive and hard to find BUT airfare is high....just my 2 cents

regariding kauai...it is wetter in the winer but the rains are pretty scattered throughout the day (not all day long). the south does get less rain than the north.

      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!
