Does anybody have a list of reception location options for the strawberry passion package? I have heard a lot of people talk about Playa Azul, but i'm wondering what else is an option. And also does anyone know where these locations are on the resort map?  I'd like a visual as to where is location is actually located. I've msg'd my coordinator, but I know that they sometimes take a while to respond, so I thought I would see if anybody was provided with a list from their coordinator already. Thanks so much!!! 
Our reception was supposed to be on Coral Beach initially but the back up for this is in the banquet hall. Coral beach is the complete opposite of the Playa Azul location. Coral is in front of the palace, sort of up above the water a bit, beautifully lit up and great for smaller groups. If it wasn't for the banquet hall being our back up we would have stayed there. It threatened rain on our wedding day so we moved to Coco beach, this is the beach right in front of the coco bar (beach bar by the palace pool) and it was a great location. These two are closest to the palace resort. Playa Azul is the absolute furthest end from the Palace, in front of the Beach/Caribe resorts. It is past the little activities rental area on the beach. I had heard it was windier down there as well. There used to be a palapa there but it is no longer up. I am not sure what the other location was called but I saw a few receptions there while we were there and it was in front of the grill at the tropical. All the locations are gorgeous and I believe they give options but also place you based on the size of your group. Happy planning!

Hello everyone! I had my wedding at the Barceló on July 18th. My ceremony was at the gazebo and the reception at Coral Beach, both at the Palace. My husband and I went with the Strawberry Package and

Hi Everyone!

 

I had my wedding at the Palace on Saturday, June 22nd at 5pm and my reception at the Chak Halal promptly at 7pm.  I will post my review as soon as I get a chance but let me say this...my big day was nothing less that PERFECT!  After finding this forum, I scaled back ALOT.  I am so glad I did.  IT was the most stress free experience I have ever had...EVER!  I started off with Xhail as my WC (a little worried about communication,) but somehow ended up with Victoria.  VICTORIA IS AN ANGEL GOD SENT and I was SO lucky!  Here are just a few pics...

Thank you!! I really don't want the hall as a back up, but I do like the Coral the best, we've been to the resort before, and between all those trees with the lights on them would be perfect, especially because we're having a small wedding. I'd like the ceremony at the Playa Azul because it is more secluded, no men in speedos, haha.

 

We're on step 3 of the planning already, reception, but we're still 9 months away, not everyone has decided if they're coming or not, so I can't really make a seating plan. I know that you go over everything in a meeting the day after you arrive, so is this just to humour us? Make us feel like we're planning? lol Did you feel the same?

 

For the ceremony location I just said "on the beach" I suppose I should ask what the options are and be more specific.

We had just 22 people including us, yes some of the planning feels sort of silly if it can all be done the days before the wedding but I think it helps them plan a little, changes are easy to make though if you want. On the coco beach we had lights on trees and it was beautiful too! It is just a minute or two walk from the Coral Beach. And the back up for there is the palapa where the ping pong tables are. Playa Azul for me was too far and wide open with no trees to light up, which I really wanted. The seating arrangements are super easy for them to set up and change, it's honestly no big deal! You should definitely ask about where your ceremony and reception locations are, they never have me a choice and had placed me at Coral (which I was pleased with anyway) but if you have a preference you should ask as they may be planning several weddings on your date. There were apparently 4 occurring on our wedding day! We never saw anyone else married that day though.

Hi, I have a guest who may stay at a different resort other than Barceló.  Does anyone know if there is a fee for them to come into the resort for the day and what that is? Thanks!
The fee was $97 or so for the day at the Palace when we were married in 2012

We had 3 people who were not staying at our resort and they were NOT charged a day fee...neither were we.  I am not sure why, or if we were just lucky.  I did tell my 3 guests that they would be responsible for that, but no one came collecting.  I am thinking we were just lucky.

      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!
