Hi brides, so my wedding is fast approaching 16th April 2012 4pm at the akumal beach location, we travel on 10th April and we have got 49 guests coming with us for 2 weeks. 

We are having the resort photographer, ceremony at 4 ( We have 4 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, 2 ushers, best man etc...) followed by 45 min saxophonist and a toast, I was hoping after this the guests could go to the akumal lobby for drinks whilst we have photos done????? Our wedding meal is in the dolce a vita which is where we will have the speeches and we are having the cocktail party with 3 hrs dj set, i have decided to go for the basic bar package and hopefully we will be lucky and get a full stocked bar, our guests all love a good drink and party so should be a great day/ night.

​

Can any of you recommend anything else to make the day special?????

We've been back a couple of weeks now and I have nothing but good things to say about the resort and wedding.  We had 51 guest travel with us to Mexico.  We flew with Air Canada Vacations and got marr

Hi Emily - congrats on your upcoming wedding!

Sounds like you have everything in place! I think it will all be fantastic!

As far as the Mayan Ceremony goes - I would just ask your WC -
What I do know is that it's EXTREMELY long. So if you're not wanting everyone having to sit through a very long ceremony in the sun - I would suggest just keeping the regular ceremony. The Mayan ceremony is beautiful and very unique..but again..painfully long. You're call tho!
Good luck!

I know for our dinner we had the trio band play for 45 mins so 2 hours was perfect for us, but if we didn't I think it would have been too long.  Like Trish said 1 1/2 would be perfect!!  Also, Portifino is amazing everyone in my group loved it!!!!!

I'm getting married in 2 weeks at the akumal hammock location! Getting very excited...

Im canadian and am going to get USD to take with me, I'm just wondering if anyone knows  if the spa, photographer and most excursion tours accept visa? I'd like to bring down as little $ as possible.. 

 

Also I have the Portifino booked for 5:30 and the jacuzzi pool at 7:30 for the poolside party, I know a few of you have had a similar layout so I'm just wondering is two hours too long for dinner? Or will this flow smoothly? 

Thanks!

For those of you that used a resort DJ were you able to make requests?  Or bring an ipod with your must have songs and have him mix them in during the reception?

Welcome! Glad I was able to help.

Andrea2006 - I was told by my WC that we could bring our iPod for the DJ so he'd play the songs we want. I've got my playlist in full-swing too!

Welcome Emily!  Congratulations on your upcoming wedding!  Sounds like you have an awesome group going with you so I'm sure it'll be fantastic!

 

Andrea, I brought CDs with the music I wanted to be played.  But it was REALLY important to make sure they weren't MP4s like Ipod music is.  It had to be able to be played on a REALLY old boom box.  Like, pre ipod boom box.  They might have upgraded the sound system since my wedding, but you're better safe than sorry.

      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!
