As for cake...we got the Tres Leches cake.  It wasn't listed as one of the options, but they had no problem giving it to us...and it was amazing!  They do adjust the size based on the number of guests you have, but I'm not sure how 'personalized' they will get without an up-charge.  All you can do is ask!

 

As for the 'private' events...You could definitely make a group reservation at a restaurant for your 'rehearsal', but know that there won't be a rehearsal, unless you conduct it yourself.  We called ours a "welcome party" on Thursday night and used our free cocktail party for that instead of after the wedding, so that we could enjoy it with our guests.  After the ceremony, our guests went back to freshen up and met at the lobby bar for drinks until it was time for dinner!

 

I didn't use the live-streaming..but the wifi isn't very strong at the resort IMO, so I'm not sure if it would fully work if you had someone do it for you?

Not at all!  I had my ceremony at the Chichen Gazebo -- it has open sides and a beautiful wooden bridge that leads up to it.  Our reception was at the Mundaca Steakhouse.  We only qualified for a free cocktail party, and I wasn't interested in paying extra for a private event -- we had a group of 18.  Mundaca and El Greco can both make your reception very close to private if you are going to restaurant direction.

 

Feel free to check out my wedding photos and let me know if you have any questions!

Also any advise on sports to hold everything?  I would like to use the Terrza pandero for almost everything and the white structure for the dance floor....thoughts?

 

Any advise is appreciated!

Yes, you can bring your own decorations but they will charge you a set up fee.

My wedding is at ACP on October 20th (OMG that is really soon...) and I am in almost-bridezilla mode with my WC. Lots of questions, not a lot of answers. So I turn to you, you lovely brilliant women.

Some questions:

- Does anyone have the email address to book salon services in advance? I'd love to use this, as well as pass it along to guests

- Can you book excursions using your resort credit in advance? If so, I'd love an email address or protocol for this as well.

- Were any of your guests golf nuts? I'd love to get my golf men some information on where to go, tee times, and if they can use resort dollars.

- Cake? They say that the cake in the wedding package is for 30 people only- do any of you have sample size photos you can share? Will they work with your wedding colors?

- Did any of you try to get all of your guests together for an informal (read: not-paid-for) rehearsal dinner? we are using our complimentary private function for the reception (only have 67-69 room nights... grrrrrr) and would love to not pay for a dinner at an all-inclusive (seems redundant to me). How did you go about this? Could you request it in advance?

- Rather than booking a private cocktail function, could we all just crash one of the bars? Is there room? What's the protocol there?

- Did any of you do live-streaming? Do you think we could use the WiFi and do it ourselves?

 

Yes. Please forgive me. I am in full on, control freak zone.

Any guidance or Xanax you can give will be appreciated.

 

Thanks!!

 

Always,

Abby

They do not let you book excursions in advance.  

I'll send you my wedding website info later and it has all of the info on the golf on it.

If you look at some past post on this thread you can see a pic of my cake and the cake for 30 is more like cake for 70.  There was so much cake I had them serve it to the entire restaurant. Crashing at one of the bars is fine, but they don't serve food.  If you do have it at one of the bars, I would recommend the Martini Bar outside.  At least you'll have music.  We paid the extra $800 for a private function the night before the wedding and had a meet and greet cocktail party for 2 hours, private bar and too many eats. We held it at the Cove Terrace and we felt it was worth every penny!  We brought our own music.

 

Good luck

    • 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!
