I emailed Claudia about a week ago and haven't heard anything back- normally she takes about 3-4 days. When I was at the resort I heard that they had over 75 weddings scheduled this month.

Just wondering how often you've been hearing back from the WC's lately?? Mine is Gabriela.. I would usually get a reply back from within 1 week, 1 week and a half.. but the last email I sent her was on Dec. 29th, and haven't heard back yet...? Just wondering if anyone else's email responses have been slower than usual?

Hi Future Mrs.D,

Thanks,

Hello ladies- This thread has been so helpful! I have a few questions- hoping someone can answer.

1. Strawberry package dinner- Can you downgrade the food to buffet style or just more casual to try to cut back on costs? Has anyone tried to negotiate this? (I'll prob have approx 50 guests and at $64/person, the price will grow really quickly! And my FI and I would prefer more casual dining.)

2. I would like a cocktail hour, but was hoping to use one the hotel bars (so we don't have to pay extra). Has anyone done this? And there a good bar to use near the gazebo/beach area?

3. My wedding is at 4pm. I'm having a cocktail hour, but would not like to start the dinner/reception until about 7. What do you do in the meantime? Ceremony should last around 30 mins; Group pics about 30 mins; Cocktail hour...I'm only at about 6pm... (Thoughts? Feedback on timing?)

 

Thanks ladies!

Congratulations to everyone. I'm so glad I found this thread....I'm also planning a wedding there in November and am getting quite nervous that I have not heard back from Gabriela in 4wks. Last I spoke to her she said our date and time were on hold, and that they would be reserved as soon as we booked our rooms but I have not been able to get in touch with her to finalize plans. Did everyone else run into this problem? Who did you book your rooms through? Also, did they draft up a contract for you prior to reserving the rooms? Thanks!

Oh wow Sandra! Cannot wait to see more! Those photos look amazing. Did you fly your photographer out from Cabo? Did the hotel require that you pay for a guest pass for an outside photographer, or do they require that you book a room for him (and any assistants)? Also, what about the person who did your makeup? Did you have to buy a guest pass for him?

 

Thank you!!

I finally got through Sandra's review.....wow!!! It definitely helped me relax a bit about not having much communication from the WC. Thanks so much Sandra! I have another question....has anyone looked into providing guests transportation to the resort. I know cabs are super expensive and and were just looking into other options for our guests. We have a pretty big guest list and expect ~100-150 people who would all be arriving on diff't flights for the most part. Any thoughts? Thanks!

    • 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!
