You can bring them and they will set them up and not charge you for labor, it's all part of her job. They do all the setting at in the gazebo and such too.

Not sure how they would hang them in the inlet though? I think that's why they use the stand up ones. Worth writing about and asking to see if/how past brides have done it though!

 

There is an option for tiki torches, I *think* it was about $100 for a bundle of 10 or something like that.

I have a question for current and past brides,

 

I am planning to do welcome bags for my guests to be in their rooms when they arrive. One of my bridesmaids and I were going to come down a couple of days early to finalize the events for our guests, welcome bags and wedding day.

 

But the costs jumped quite a bit (over 600) for us not to come with our group. Did any of you have your WC put the bags together? Was there an extra charge? Did it go smoothy?

 

When we met with Yazmin during our site inspection she recomended a customs broker to insure our items didn't get caught up in customs...did any of you use a customs broker?

 

I am totally overwhelmed by the travel aspect and the group contract. There are just so many people to coordinate and the costs are so high. Any advicehuh.gif

We actually put together our bags before we left for Mexico and hand delivered them to whoever lived close. If they lived far or out of state I shipped them. This actually worked out really great. It amped my guests up for the trip. I was so happy I didn't have to lug them to Mexico too.

Hi ladies! just wondering what everyone is doing about a dj? im thinking about hiring DJ Mannia or DJ Doremixx...does anyone know what ASP policy is as far as having an outside dj? do i just hire them, pay for day passes for them and see what happens? do i tell/ask ASP thats what im doing?  i dont want to pay $1700 for 4 hours for a dj and sound system (thats what ASP charges) i think thats ridiculous...AND i dont even know if they are good...whereas i've read so many good things about Mannia and Doremixx...any suggestions?

I had lots of issues wit ASP and hiring an outside DJ. I added all the dteails a few pages back on this thread.

 

ASP does not allow outside vendors and they are very strict with DJ's. I was going to hire DJ Doremixx and was ready to sign a contract, but my WC told me they would not allow it. After numerous emails and complaints they finally allowed me to hire him, but they wanted him to sign a $500,000 insurance policy with them, which he could not afford to do. He told me that ASP seems like they really dont want outside vendors and he was sorry he couldnt DJ my wedding.

$1700 is ridiculous! They dont even charge that out here, unless youre trying to hire a famous DJ or something. lol. My only complaint with ASP is the fact they give you a hard time with outside vendors, but yet they charge an arm, a leg and a few toes and fingers for their services.

    • 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!
