Does anyone know if you can hire the resort photographer to do a TTD session???

 

 

and one more!!  :o)  Past brides....did you or any of your guests take advantage of the use of the other palace resorts?  I'd like to let my guests know that they can go to other palace resorts to do other things too, but I wasn't sure exactly which ones they provide transportation to?

Hello Ladies!

 

Question.

 

What is your Wedding Day time line like. I do not want to have guests sitting around and waiting. but I also dont want it to go too too fast. I am having a Marachi Band at 5, the wedding is at 4, Should I push it back?

 

Mine is:

 

Hair/Makup: 12:30

Wedding: 4:00

Cocktail: 5:00 with Marachi Band

Dinner: 6:30

 

Also, Married Ladies? Did you feel like you had too much time or too little time between things?

:o( I feel like ASP brides have disappeared!!!

 

Skadow:

 

Have you looked at the sunset schedules on the internet?  In February the sun sets around 5:30.  The only thing I would worry about is it setting too early on your pictures??  I have heard brides mention that pictures took at least an hour, and I believe the wedding would take around 30 minutes.

 

Your schedule is about the way I plan to have it -- except my wedding is going to be at 5 (June wedding), cocktail at 6, and dinner around 7:30.  From the reviews I have read, this schedule seemed to be the standard of what brides had/liked.

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.


 

In regards to the OOT bags, I really think Jackie has a good point.  We brought all of our bags down and I spent quite a good amount of time putting them together before everyone arrived.  People liked them but in the end if I could do it all over again I would have skipped the bags or just have the bag and a nice drinking mug with it.  It was a LOT of work!

 

If you could avoid putting them together in Mexico and give them to your guest before the trip that is probably your best bet.  The only issue we had is that everyone that was coming to the wedding was either in TX or OH and we live in Colorado so we were not able to give to our guest beforehand unless we sent them priority mail which would have added to the cost. 

 

Thinking we spent almost $600 total on the bags and the contents...

thanks so much for sharing!!

 

 

and FYI:  I did find out that the resort photographer charges $160 an hour for additional photography time, so if you would like a TTD session (we am doing one the day after our wedding) those would be his rates.  Also, if you purchase a disc of pictures, he will include those photos on the disc.

      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!
