Hello Everyone!

 

I stumbled upon this website while searching out information on Destination Weddings.

 

We are planning on a November 2008 Wedding, and right now we have our sights set on Punta Cana due to our limited budget, and the realistic prices for guests. We are currently looking at the Gran Bahia Principe, but have not made up our minds. It seems to be more pricey than other hotels in the area...

 

Any help or personal experiences on planning a destination wedding for about 50 people on a budget of $1300 - $1400 incl. taxes per person would be helpful (there will be children attending since I want my daughter there!) We are not set on the DR, as we love Mexico as well.

 

Thanks!

Hey Shawna,

Have you thought about Cuba. I much much much prefer Cuba to DR. I have been to both twice. And, its cheaper than DR, just a thought.

    • 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!
