My fiance and I have set our date. We are getting married Feb 2013. I have a lot of reading up to do on this amazing thread.. Does anyone know if anyone on this thread has chosen the Tangerine Sunset package? I would like to know what reception venues were offered with this package. :)

There is no rehearsal. The wedding coordinator will tell everyone where to stand just before the ceremony starts. It always works out.

DONT!!!! My mom and both sisters did and it was a hit and miss as most people post on this site... My mom's hair was going all sorts of wrong when I had to step in and get someone to help. And my Mom's makeup as so bad too... My sisters hair both looked good but make up not so good. I went with Adrian and his crew and it was WELL WORTH the money!!! Looked soooooo good.

I mean the Spa at the resort the hair turned out great for my sisters but not so much in the beginning for my Mom but we really had to direct the girls until they gave us a Sr. girl that could speak English. And my Mom has short hair. The make-up for my Mom and one Sister was not good. Very heavy on the makeup. If you can fit it into your budget get Adrian and his team. Can't say enough great things about them and yes there is a new deal with the resort and Adrian he will charge you 30% off your fee and you just pay the Barcelo that 30% fee that remains. Bonus for me Claudia forgot to add it to the final bill so I never had to pay. Oh also anyone thinking about which resort go with the Barcelo! They do such a FANTASTIC job! My Mom said that when she get's remarried she want to have her wedding at the Barcelo!

How do you get the 30% off? After reading all of the comments on here, I decided to suck up the cost and go for Adrian. I just booked him today but the 30% offer was never mentioned. 

 

When you said that the 30% goes to Barcelo, does that mean it goes towards the cost of the wedding?

 

Thanks x

In short :

Previously Adrian and his team were able to enter the Barcelo Resort without any cost (no day passes, no fees). So the price he quoted brides for services was going straight into his pocket.

However starting recently (I guess I was one of the first brides in November that this happened to), the Barcelo told Adrian that to cover the loss of business to the resort spa, Adrian would have to pay 30% of his fee to the Barcelo, and 70% would be for Adrian and his team.

My total for Adrian was $550, but instead of paying all of that to him, I instead gave him $385 (plus tip) and paid the $165 balance to the Barcelo.

In order to recoup this 30% loss he is not encurring, Adrian is increasing his 2012 prices.

Hope that makes sense to you.

Again, I think it depends who you get.  I loved my hair, and me and my sister both had good makeup. If you have a clear picture of what you want - it seems they do a great job.  Unfortunately spending another $600 just wasn't in the budget - the spa was free and I was happy!

    • 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!
